Recoup Catalog — Estimate Value

Value a catalog/album/recording from public/streaming data alone — the clean-room cousin of a full valuation. Deterministic scripts ship in scripts/ (invoke relatively); methodology + API contract in references/.

Procedure

• python3 scripts/fetch_album_tracks.py — pull the catalog from public sources.
• python3 scripts/estimate.py — estimate streams→revenue→value per references/methodology.md (uses references/recoup-api.md).
• python3 scripts/build_report.py — assemble the estimate report (needs pip3 install matplotlib reportlab).

Be explicit that this is a public-data estimate (wider error bars than a seller-file valuation), and state the assumptions. For a real data room with seller files, use recoup-catalog-review-deal instead.
