The commercial mid-band.

A finished track produced through SCR's mid-band sync-ready pipeline, with stronger human authorship documented at every step:

• Lyrics drafted by Claude under Ralph's direction, refined through the five-pass methodology, with at least one full creative-direction pass by a named human writer (Ralph or contracted writer) — documented in the AUTHORLOG with timestamps.
• Instrumental bed generated by Suno under Ralph's documented prompt-and-curation direction, with at least one element (typically the lead instrument or a percussion layer) replaced or overdubbed by a live human performer — also AUTHORLOG'd.
• Vocals live-recorded by a SCR or contracted vocalist (preferred for T2), or ElevenLabs Voice synthesis (Ralph-cloned and consented) where a particular persona's voice signature is required.
• DAW arrangement and structure edits by Ralph or contracted producer — documented as authorship contributions.
• Mixing by Ralph or contracted engineer; mastering via LANDR or Matchering or contracted engineer.
• C2PA manifest signed by Adobe Content Credentials and embedded.
• Per-platform AI-disclosure flag set according to the cross-matrix in research/11 §4. For T2, the flag varies by platform.
• AUTHORLOG delivered as part of the commission bundle.
• Signed Provenance Statement delivered as part of the commission bundle.

T2 is the tier where SCR delivers a sync-grade chain of title backed by documented per-element human direction. This is the doctrine the US Copyright Office's January 2025 framework rewards.

A sync-grade commercial license to a SCR track for a defined use, term, territory, and media. Scope is negotiated at commission and codified in your contract; defaults are:

• Use: one defined commercial use (advertising campaign, video content series, podcast theme, in-game music cue, etc.).
• Term: 1 year, renewable.
• Territory: worldwide unless otherwise scoped.
• Media: defined at contract (digital advertising, broadcast, theatrical, streaming, podcast, etc.).
• Exclusivity: non-exclusive default; exclusive available at premium pricing.

What you get:

• The master recording, delivered as broadcast-grade WAV and a streaming-grade MP3/AAC.
• Stems (drums / bass / instrumental / vocals) where the production pattern supports it.
• The AUTHORLOG — your audit defense if any platform or rights holder questions the track's provenance.
• The signed Provenance Statement — restates the tier, chain-of-title, disclosure flags, and license scope.
• A licensed-use cuesheet ready for ASCAP/BMI/PRS filings.

What you are not buying:

• Outright ownership of the recording (T2 is license, not assignment).
• The right to sub-license to a third party outside your defined use.
• The right to register the copyright in your own name.
• The right to claim sole authorship (the cuesheet lists SCR's production credits alongside any writer credits assigned to you in the contract).

SCR retains the recording copyright. You receive a sync-grade license scoped to your use.

On the platforms. Per the matrix in research/11 §4, T2 tracks have a per-platform disclosure decision:

SCR's scr-legal agent sets the flag at upload-gate; the customer-side flag (your own re-uploads of the licensed master) should match.

On copyright. T2 tracks are copyrightable under the USCO January 2025 framework. SCR registers the recording in SCR's name; the underlying composition credits are assigned in your contract. If the contract assigns a writer share to you (commissioning brand, agency, talent), that share is filed at PRS/ASCAP/BMI.

On chain-of-title for resale or distribution. Your contract is the chain-of-title document. SCR's AUTHORLOG is the upstream documentation that defends both SCR's copyright claim and your sub-licensed use. If a rights holder or a platform challenges the track, you provide the contract; we provide the AUTHORLOG.

On the price. T2 is the mid-band — accessible to serious commercial commissioners, not so cheap that it positions sync as a commodity. Pricing factors in the documented human-direction work (named writer pass, live instrument overdub, vocal performance) plus the standard SCR doctrinal infrastructure.

1. Receive and store the AUTHORLOG delivered with your commission. This is your audit defense; if a platform or rights holder ever asks how the track was made, this is the document you provide alongside your contract.
2. Set the platform disclosure flag according to the matrix when you upload the licensed master under your account or your client's account. SCR sets it on SCR's own catalogue distribution; you set it where your use distributes.
3. Respect the license scope (use, term, territory, media). If your use shifts (campaign extends to a new territory, video re-cuts for a new media buy, etc.), notify us — most scope changes can be accommodated with a contract addendum.
4. Attribute SCR and the persona in cuesheet credits, PRO filings, and any visible attribution surface (end-of-video credits, podcast episode notes, etc.). The persona is the brand vector; SCR is the rights holder.
5. Notify SCR of any republication or syndication. If your campaign re-airs on a new platform or gets picked up by a syndicator, we update our internal distribution status log so the per-platform disclosure flags stay current.
6. Renew at term-end. T2 licenses default to 1 year; we send a renewal notice 60 days before expiration. Unrenewed licenses lapse cleanly — you can re-license at the renewal rate or end the use.
