Release outcome

Release ready: all core gates are complete. Needs correction: audio or packaging needs repair. Hold for documentation: proof or permission is incomplete. Do not release: a material source or rights issue remains unresolved.

Do not treat distribution as the automatic next step. First decide whether the project is actually ready to release, whether its rights position is clear enough for the intended use, and whether the evidence file is complete.

Use the AI Music Release Router if the next decision is finish, hold or distribute. Use the AI Creator Rights Roadmap when permissions, commercial use or ownership claims need checking. Build the AI Music Proof File when your documentation is incomplete.

Once the audio, rights, evidence and release-decision gates are complete, continue to distribution guidance. For deeper help at any earlier step, return to the Full Workflow Hub.
