First draft for Luke and Angel to discuss. Not complete, not locked, and not a Blue Dog script.

## Visibility

public

## Why It Matters

This source trail keeps the AI-Native Indie Distribution episode connected to its originating Strange But True, Aura, local, or public-planning context without flooding the episode with every deeper document.

## Useful For

- Luke and Angel discussion
- Red Dog research prep
- Scene and ad/sponsor checks
- Segment framing
- Future public/private review before publishing clips

## Plain-English Takeaway

Red Dog asks what happens when indie music distribution is not just upload, hope and forget, but metadata, provenance, recommendation systems, licensing context and AI-readable memory.

## What Not To Overclaim

Do not present AI-Native Indie Distribution as a complete plan, finished policy, expert finding or public promise. Treat it as a first-draft discussion seed until Luke and Angel review it.

## Deeper Reading Needed

Review only the sources named above before production.
If a deeper private or local archive is needed, use the source-routing notes first and keep private material out of public pages.
