vocumi Brief: An A&R Meeting Pack From a Discovery Brief

The room asked for three names by Friday. You have a sentence, not a roster. An A&R meeting pack from a discovery brief is the leave-behind: a room, a fit grid, and a PDF. vocumi Brief now lives in Discovery next to Direct, Vibe, and Scouting Pool.

Vibe still finds names from a mood. Brief packs the meeting those names have to survive.

What is an A&R meeting pack from a discovery brief?

A point-in-time pack for one meeting. You paste the brief in plain language, choose Booking, Signing, or Sync, and Assemble pack. You get a shortlist, why this set, a fit grid against your brief, three names already in the room, and three covered names on the bench.

It is not a live dashboard. It is not a second research file you rebuild in Keynote the night before.

How is Brief different from Vibe Search?

Vibe Search turns a mood, scene, or creative brief into a ranked shortlist with a fit line on each act. Use it when you are looking. See Vibe Search.

Brief takes that kind of sentence into a meeting pack: Score and Pulse on the names, a fit grid against your axes, and Print pack for the PDF. Use it when the room needs the leave-behind. See Brief.

• Vibe finds names.
• Brief packs the room.
• Direct Search stays for names you already know.
• Scouting Pool stays the genre-matched rising feed.

Assemble does not add anyone to the roster. Heart still favorites.

What do Booking, Signing, and Sync mean on Brief?

The pill tells vocumi which meeting you are packing for. It does not change which names it can find.

• Booking is live: who can play this venue, city, or tour.
• Signing is who you would take on: catalog versus hype, career band.
• Sync is a track in a film, TV spot, ad, or game: paste the scene (mood, vocal or not, hard nos).

Write the brief the way you would say it in the room. Sound, city, rooms or use, hard nos. Unresolved names are listed as dropped. They never appear as artists.

How does Assemble pack work?

Assemble reads the brief, finds matching names, and covers the pack. The layout is the meeting, not a feed:

• Axes from the brief.
• Why this set.
• Fit grid against those axes.
• The room: three names. Card on the left, why they fit on the right.
• The bench: three covered alternates. Add to pack puts a name in the room. Remove from room sends them back to the bench.

Print pack opens the Full pack: brief, why this set, fit grid, the room, a bench table, then a full artist report for each name currently in the room. Bench names are listed, not given full reports, until you add them. Printing does not spend another pack.

That is the executive briefs job for a room. A single-act snapshot is still Reports.

What does Brief not do?

• No auto-roster. Assemble does not favorite. Heart still does.
• No Vibe or Pulse meter drain. Brief has its own weekly meter. Credits are one wallet: a Brief run past quota costs 50 credits from the same balance as Pulse or Vibe.
• No cue sheet, license, or contract.
• No hit forecast. vocumi Score on the pack tells the room how those names compare on one 0–100 scale: productivity, market reach, fan investment, and catalog health. Not artistic quality. It does not predict a hit. See vocumi Score.
• Artists only. Podcast Discovery is a separate door.

Pro includes 3 packs per week. Team includes 15 as an org pool. Extra runs, and Free after the 21-day Pro taste, use credits. The meter resets Monday 00:00 UTC. Live numbers: pricing.

Why does this earn a trial?

The friction was a meeting brief in one tab and a shortlist in five others. The method is paste the brief, pack the room, print. Run a brief you would actually take into Friday.
