Every track has an origin and a rights status
Here is exactly what our badges mean, who decides, and what they do not mean.
AI origin
A reviewer examines the creator’s declared tools and generation method, the generation date, original exports, project or generation records and any provenance metadata, and checks them for consistency. Audio classifiers may be shown to reviewers as a supplementary signal — they are probabilistic, can be wrong in both directions, and never decide a case on their own.
Commercial usage rights
A reviewer examines evidence that the plan, subscription or licence in force when the track was generated covered this specific track and its intended distribution: provider, plan tier, terms version, conditions, and licences for any samples, vocals or lyrics. Creators must never submit passwords, API keys or card details.
Human review & audit trail
Every decision records the reviewer, time, evidence reviewed, decision, reason, criteria version and the previous status — in an append-only log. AI origin and commercial rights are separate statuses and separate decisions.
The badges
A badge appears only when its criteria are satisfied.
What a badge is not. A verification badge means the platform reviewed specified evidence under its stated process. It is not a guarantee against copyright claims or legal disputes. Creator verification (the check mark next to an artist name) only confirms who runs the account; it never verifies any individual track.
Publishing rule
By default a track is publicly released only when both the AI-origin and the commercial-rights reviews are approved. The policy is configurable by the platform; tracks still waiting for review are never labelled as verified. If new evidence contradicts a decision, moderators can suspend a track or reopen its case, and approvals for rights can expire and require re-review.
