Start with a catalog decision

Propose this pilot

Choose several contemporary works and record represented rights, composer consent and proposed grounding permissions, listing any separate recording approvals required.

Your team chooses the work and confirms the rights it administers. Clef can record creator preferences, the proposed AI use, the reviewer's decision, and agreed credit and reporting terms.

Run it in your infrastructure with your own team, or have Clef set it up and hand it over. Pilot organizations receive 50% off Clef’s standard setup fee for the agreed scope. Hosting and ongoing services are scoped separately.
