Why This Forecast Works

A documented 2027 album cycle creates an activity condition; no unverified tour, festival, Atlanta, agency, or prior-Shaky evidence is added.

  • Ingested from the user-supplied 2027 Album Artists Reference Sheet.
  • Only the documented album-cycle evidence is indexed; no other booking evidence was inferred.
  • Batch 24 preserves the confirmed album and adds the reviewed current UK live-activity context without inventing 2027 routing.
  • Batch 24 reviewed data update: 2026-09-30.
  • Research Batch 09 (PARTIAL): Representation gaps resolved and a major debut-release climate added. Exact rights-vetted image remains open.
  • Research Batch 09 remaining fields: image_url, image_credit.
