Every artist deserves to know they've been paid what they're owed. We make that possible.

The whole picture, not half of it

Tritone follows royalties from the source all the way to the artist.

We start by making sure every song is properly registered across the master side, publishing side, performance rights organizations, mechanical societies, neighboring rights organizations, CMOs, DSPs, and territories. Then we trace how that income is reported and paid, making sure each statement follows the contract terms, royalty rates, splits, and deductions that apply.

From registrations and metadata to statements, splits, contracts, rates, and deductions, we look at the full royalty picture, not just one piece of it.

That is what sets Tritone apart. Most services only see one side of the system. We connect all of it to find what slipped through the cracks.

Royalty Accounting Audit

The data is clear. Even without any nefarious intent, royalty accounting in the music industry is highly error-prone.

One royalty audit firm, after performing roughly 6,000 audits, observed that 95% of label statements contained inaccuracies, resulting in an average 10% to 30% reduction in artists’ annual net revenue.

Traditional royalty audits are expensive because they require teams of lawyers and accountants to manually organize, interpret, and analyze huge amounts of messy, unstructured data.

Tritone’s AI audit system was built to make that expensive process more accessible.

We ingest, normalize, and analyze royalty statements in any format, then compare them against the contracts, royalty rates, splits, deductions, and payment terms that determine how an artist should be paid. From there, we identify where money has quietly fallen through the cracks before ever reaching the artist.

Here are just a few of the common accounting errors Tritone’s system detects:

  • Misapplied royalty rates, escalators, reserves, and income types
  • Improper deductions, fees, chargebacks, and recoupable expenses
  • Missing or underreported income across streaming, sync, YouTube, UGC, physical, download, and international sources
  • Incorrect splits, producer points, featured-artist payments, and Letters of Direction
  • Inconsistencies across statements, territories, DSPs, royalty periods, and reporting sources

Registration Audit

Not all missing royalties come from accounting errors. Many are lost before they ever reach labels or publishers simply because of incorrect or incomplete registrations.

Our system is built to detect those issues across an artist's entire catalog, including PROs and neighboring rights organizations.

Whether it is a misspelled name, missing ISRC, incorrect split, inconsistent metadata, or a song that was never registered at all, Tritone identifies the issue and produces the documentation needed to correct it.

This is not just money artists miss. It is money everyone downstream can miss, including labels, publishers, producers, writers, and performers.

Here are just a few of the common registration issues Tritone’s system detects and helps fix:

  • Unclaimed black box royalties from incomplete registrations
  • Missing ISRCs across PRO and mechanical registrations
  • Duplicate works registered across royalty sources
  • Multiple writer aliases or conflicting IPIs
  • Incorrect splits between writers, publishers, producers, and rights holders

What We Charge for Our Services

Tritone is a service that uses the proprietary data analytics tools we’ve created to make the auditing process more effective, more efficient, and more accessible.

We help with every part of the process, from collecting documents and auditing statements to identifying discrepancies and recovering missing royalties from each responsible entity.

We charge a one-time percentage of 20% of the royalties we not only find, but recover. We do not take an ongoing commission on future royalties.

If we do not recover anything, you do not owe us anything. Our incentives are simple: we only get paid when we help recover money that would have otherwise gone unpaid.
