Three Analysis Engines. One Powerful Prediction.

We run every campaign through three intelligent analysis engines — trained on over a quarter century of music industry data.
Get the most accurate predictions possible.

📊

Content Analysis

Advanced reasoning and deep content analysis trained on 8.3M emails + 138,113+ articles & research.

🧠

Why Three Analysis Engines?

Each engine has different strengths. By combining predictions from all three, you get more accurate forecasts, better recommendations, and insights no single engine could provide. It's like having three expert consultants review your campaign before you send.

Analysis: Single proprietary model
Training Data: Generic (all industries mixed)
Context: None (no idea about music industry)

✅ Amplifier

Analysis: Three-engine ensemble
Training Data: Music industry exclusive (8.3M emails + 138,113+ articles & research)
Context: Knows what works for YOUR audience

✨ Test Before You Send
