Roster and catalogue in one view
Every release, its status, its territories and its delivery targets — grouped by label rather than scattered per artist.
For labels
Oversight without spreadsheets
Labels need to see the whole pod at once: roster, catalogue, rights state and spend. Orca Universe organises those around the same relational model the artist workspace uses.
Review before anything moves
The review queue holds submissions until metadata, artwork and rights information pass. Activity history records who moved what.
Rights documentation as a first-class object
Composition and recording rights carry their own status, territory, verification date and notes — auditable per record.
Service orders with an audit trail
Orders and payment records are stored, so campaign spend is traceable. Payments run in demo mode in this prototype.
