WHAT WE DO

Turning royalty complexity into clarity and at scale.

Automated processes and bespoke dashboards deliver rapid insights and actionable intelligence, including consumption trends, song-to-track matching, and opportunities for improved margins.

Our proprietary analytics framework ingests data from any royalty source and transforms it into structured, meaningful intelligence. Where others see millions of lines of unstructured data, we see patterns, discrepancies, and opportunities.

Whether you need a complete data room overhaul, a bespoke dashboard for your stakeholders, or automated royalty statements, our team builds the infrastructure that gives you permanent control and clarity.

CASE STUDY

DSP Audit, unlocking hidden digital royalties at massive scale.

The rapid growth of digital streaming platforms has created enormous volumes of royalty data for publishers, CMOs, PROs, and licensing hubs. With millions of works generating trillions of usage lines, verifying accuracy and ensuring correct reporting has become increasingly complex and increasingly costly when left unchecked.

CHALLENGE

Scale and complexity few could handle

Publishers, CMOs, and PROs were sitting on massive DSP datasets with no reliable way to verify accuracy. Millions of musical works generating trillions of usage lines, and no process to reconcile them at speed.

SOLUTION

Proprietary analytics at unprecedented scale

Y Royalties applied advanced data analytics tools and proprietary audit methodologies to conduct large-scale DSP audits. We processed catalogues of millions of musical works and hundreds of terabytes of streaming data, reconciling reported royalties against actual DSP usage to identify every discrepancy.

RESULTS

Multi-million pound claim. Permanent transparency.

The audit revealed a multi-million pound claim on behalf of a major rights organisation, and delivered significantly improved transparency, accuracy, and confidence in their digital royalty reporting going forward.
