No more sorting through 10,000 different Sean Carters. Our proprietary matching algorithm works through all 1.2 billion rows, ties every legal name, stage name, misspelling and IPI to the right writer, and shows you only what belongs to them.
A stage name or a one-letter typo, with no IPI on the line. The MLC reads it as a different writer, so the work never shows under him and the open share goes unclaimed.
See what you’re owed at a glance.
Open any song and everything is there: who wrote it, who owns what, every recording, and the money that isn’t reaching you.
Finding the money is step one. Getting it back is the point. Every problem Pace & Handy Co. finds comes with the exact fix the MLC asks for, written, formatted and proof attached. Then we stay on it until the money moves.
Found and explained. Every problem shows what’s wrong, where the money is going, and where it should go.
Fixed the MLC’s way. Every fix comes ready in the exact form the MLC asks for, so nothing gets sent back.
Seen through to the money. We stay on every fix until the MLC answers and the royalties start moving again.
“We have zero insight into which ISRCs are associated with the work.”
Jeff Price, founder of TuneCore and Word Collections, writing to the MLC, February 2024. Read the letter →The MLC pays each song for the recordings it ties to it, but it never shows you those ties. So you can’t see a recording paying someone else, or paying no one, or whether your fix worked. Your dashboard shows you every recording of your songs and exactly where its money goes.
Scammers are registering your songs and collecting your royalties.
A fake “(B Mix)” of Bruno Mars’ “24K Magic” claimed 100% of more than 100 recordings and got paid on Apple Music, Tidal and iHeartRadio. The MLC kept paying it until a reporter caught it. That’s how the system works: no filter, no flag, no alert. If someone hijacks your song, the MLC expects you to find it yourself. Pace & Handy finds it for you, the day it shows up at the MLC, and alerts your team right away.

The same dashboard shows what’s registered, what’s leaking and what’s recoverable. Leakage isn’t in the trailing numbers, so it isn’t in the price. Every dollar you recover after close is valued at your multiple.
Everything the dashboard shows.
Everything the engine finds.
Every registration in your catalog, and every place the money stops, each with the filing that fixes it.
