Transparency
Know what you're looking at
RAP TRENDS separates reporting, sourced facts, demonstration output, and rights-held media. The label appears where the claim appears—not on unrelated stories or video.
Reported and sourced
What is real
Stories carrying the POLARIS byline are filed reporting, not sample copy. Artist identity facts come from a recorded MusicBrainz fetch dated Sep 18, 2026. Each fact links back to its source.
Clearly marked
What is demonstration
Index signals, positions, scores, confidence figures, schedules, campaigns, and commercial projections demonstrate how the network works. They are not presented as measured performance or active business.
Fails closed
What is held back
A video without a complete rights record does not play. Confirmed third-party broadcast branding cannot be bypassed by the preview switch. Missing evidence means not cleared, never probably fine.
Reproducible
Check the Index
The audit view exposes frozen inputs, weights, sources, overrides, and replay differences so a published chart can be recomputed rather than taken on trust.
