 ## Competitive Position
 - **Unique mechanism**: Only launch platform with futarchy-governed accountability and treasury return guarantees
 - **vs pump.fun**: pump.fun is memecoin launch (zero accountability, pure speculation). Futardio is ownership coin launch (futarchy governance, treasury enforcement). Different categories despite both being "launch platforms."

 # Open Music
 
-Artist-first music streaming platform on Solana that replaces Spotify's pro-rata pool model with direct listener-to-artist payments. Attempted futarchy-governed fundraise on Futardio that failed to reach minimum threshold.
-
-## Overview
-
-Open Music built a direct payment streaming model where each subscriber's payment goes only to artists they personally listened to that month, rather than being pooled globally. The platform claimed this would pay artists ~$128/month per 100 fans versus Spotify's ~$9/month. Had live MVP at openmusic.art with artist upload and payment functionality. Raised only 11% of $250K target through Futardio launch before entering refund status.

 ## Timeline
-- **2025-Q4** — MVP launched at openmusic.art with artist upload and USDC payout functionality
-- **2026-03-03** — Futardio fundraise launched targeting $250K for 10-month runway
-- **2026-03-04** — Fundraise closed in REFUNDING status with $27,533 committed (11% of target)

+- **2026-03-04** — Fundraise closed in refunding status after raising only $27,533 (11% of target)
+
+## Business Model
+
+Direct payment model where each subscriber's $9/month goes only to artists they personally listened to that month, proportional to listening time. Platform takes 10% vs Spotify's ~30%. Payouts in USD wallet + USDC on Solana.
+
+**Value proposition:** 100 fans pay artist ~$128/month on Open Music vs ~$9/month on Spotify.
+
+**Planned features:**
+- AI-powered sonic similarity discovery (no promoted slots or label budgets)
+- Artist audience ownership (see who paid, how much, per cycle)
+- Wallet-linked cross-platform artist identity
+
+## Team
+
+Two full-stack developers with end-to-end ownership from Solana payment infrastructure to AI discovery to artist dashboard. Fundraise intended to hire third developer.

No novel claims extracted — primary value is enrichment data showing futarchy variance and platform evolution toward traditional fundraising disclosure standards. Open Music had substantive product and team but failed to attract capital, contrasting with CULT's meme coin success on same platform."
+extraction_notes: "First documented non-meme utility project launch on Futardio. Failed to attract capital despite structural innovation in music streaming economics. Provides counter-evidence to the hypothesis that futarchy mechanisms alone drive capital attraction—suggests asset type (meme vs utility) significantly affects fundraising outcomes. No novel claims about futarchy mechanisms themselves, but important data point for existing claims about speculative capital attraction. Entity created for Open Music as it represents significant product launch attempt with real capital at stake and clear market outcome."
