## Overview
#### Purpose and Entry Points
`music-growth-os` is a documentation-first operating system for a single independent artist’s legitimate marketing and release workflow. It is not an executable application; its primary runtime is human-led execution, with future automation and AI assistance layered on stable processes.
Start with `MASTER-PLAN.md`, `PROJECT-STARTER.md`, and `docs/00-foundation/README.md`. Use `USAGE-GUIDE.md` for the operating workflow and `ROADMAP.md` for near-term sequencing.
#### 1. Foundation, Brand, and Audience Inputs
The system establishes account/security practices, operating routines, artist positioning, and audience evidence before marketing activity. These artifacts are upstream constraints for messaging, targeting, content, and campaign decisions.
Paths: `docs/00-foundation/01-account-setup.md`, `docs/01-brand/01-positioning.md`, `docs/02-audience-research/02-platform-map.md`.
#### 2. Release and Content Production System
Release preparation turns music inventory into a distribution timeline and launch-ready assets. The content system then converts brand and audience findings into a content matrix, production workflow, and calendar. This is the core supply side feeding every distribution channel.
Paths: `docs/03-release-prep/01-distribution-plan.md`, `docs/04-content/01-content-matrix.md`, `docs/04-content/03-content-calendar-guide.md`.
#### 3. Owned Infrastructure and Fan Funnel
Digital infrastructure organizes assets and enables traffic capture. Landing-page and email stages transform platform visitors/listeners into owned contacts, creating a boundary between rented social/streaming platforms and artist-controlled audience data.
Paths: `docs/05-infrastructure/01-infrastructure-setup.md`, `docs/14-landing-page/01-landing-page-guide.md`, `docs/15-email/02-email-sequence-guide.md`.
#### 4. Acquisition and Distribution Channels
Content and release assets are distributed through organic social, Meta advertising, retargeting, Spotify, playlist outreach, Spotify pitching, YouTube, TikTok, PR/media, and collaborations. These are parallel acquisition paths converging on listeners, fan capture, and campaign outcomes; outreach is explicitly legitimate rather than artificial growth.
Paths: `docs/06-organic/01-organic-plan.md`, `docs/07-meta-ads/01-meta-ads-plan.md`, `docs/10-playlists/02-playlist-outreach-guide.md`.
#### 5. Campaign Execution Control Plane
Campaign artifacts coordinate timing, creative, channel work, launch-day operations, and retrospectives. Reusable SOPs, templates, and checklists standardize manual execution and ensure readiness across phases.
Paths: `campaigns/01-current-campaign.md`, `docs/19-release-campaign-execution/01-execution-plan.md`, `sops/release-playbook-sop.md`.
#### 6. Measurement, Experiments, and Optimization Loop
Operational outcomes are recorded in CSV tables, reviewed through analytics guidance, and converted into prioritized experiments. The feedback loop is: channel/release activity → metrics and attribution → weekly review/data validation → experiments → optimized future campaigns.
Paths: `data/metrics-weekly.csv`, `docs/20-analytics/03-weekly-review-guide.md`, `docs/21-optimization/03-priority-testing-framework.md`.
#### 7. Retention, Automation, and AI Layer
Retention turns captured contacts into repeat listeners and loyal fans. Automation is intentionally deferred until the manual workflow is stable. RAG and role-specific agents consume the documented playbooks and curated operational data to assist—not replace—the human process.
Paths: `docs/22-retention/01-retention-plan.md`, `docs/23-automation/01-automation-playbook.md`, `docs/24-ai-rag/01-rag-agent-guide.md`.
#### Runtimes, Services, and Boundaries
Material external environments are music distributors, Spotify/Spotify for Artists, Meta Ads, YouTube, TikTok, email and landing-page providers, and PR/playlist contacts; the repository provides guidance rather than integrations. Future scripts live under `scripts/`, secrets must remain outside version control with `.env.example` as the key contract, and all platform instructions require current-state verification.
