Bring the songs and their records together.
In her 2020 review, founder Jennifer Freed described licensing teams working across disconnected spreadsheets and file storage. She wanted a shared place for song information, licensing documents and payment records.

Excerpt from an edited phone interview. This review describes the partnership in 2020.
Help the founder shape the product.
Freed also described learning to organize feature ideas and plan development with Xivic. Architecture, interface guidance and engineering were part of a broader product partnership.
A licensing exception should not erase a payment obligation.
The later work shows how detailed business rules became product behavior. Xivic helped Trevanna Tracks separate whether a license was required from whether a fee was due.
