Roadmap & updates
What Scout can do today, what the team is improving next, and what changed in each release.
Detect music moments
Move beyond artist-name searches to tracks, sounds, posts, and conversations that are accelerating unusually quickly.
- Track and social-sound records
- Relative growth for small accounts
- UK culture and global breakout views
- Recent-release checks
Learn the label's edge
Use scout decisions and catalogue outcomes to learn what converts from an early signal into a valuable signing.
- Structured scout feedback
- Distributor API connections
- Catalogue outcome learning
- Missed-opportunity reviews
Release notes
Data connection visibility
- Added a traffic-light screen showing authenticated, fallback, failed, and planned sources.
- Added optional official YouTube Data API discovery and subscriber readings.
- Made missing configuration actionable without exposing credential values.
Moment detection foundations
- Added separate records for tracks, videos, song pages, and conversations found during a scan.
- Started retaining repeated plays, reposts, engagement, page-view, and chart-position observations.
- Added UK-culture and global-breakout context and filtering to artist discovery.
- Changed broad Apple catalogue charts into supporting evidence so they cannot create noisy leads alone.
Discovery foundations
- Fixed the PostgreSQL scan failure that stopped artists reaching filtering and ranking.
- Renamed technical scoring language so a scout can understand results without a key.
- Added “why now” context directly to artist rows.
- Added this roadmap and release-notes area.
Roadmap order may change as the team learns from real scouting decisions. The goal stays constant: find meaningful movement early enough to act.
