Common questions, direct answers.

GIGPROOF is a pre-booking evidence tool for the live music industry. It helps independent artists turn fragmented live-performance data into a method-labelled Passport — a structured, verifiable record that booking managers can evaluate without asking for favours or guessing from follower counts.

Booking managers in Israel and internationally face the same problem: an unfamiliar artist sends a name, a link, maybe some screenshots. There is no standardised way to evaluate live draw without already knowing the artist or calling around. GIGPROOF gives the booking manager a structured, method-labelled document — and gives the artist a way to prove their track record.

The Bookability Passport is the public-facing document a booking manager receives. Every item carries a method label — TICKET EXPORT, PRODUCER-CONFIRMED, PLATFORM DATA, OPERATOR-REVIEWED, or SELF-REPORTED. Self-reported data appears only with an explicit SELF-REPORTED label — never disguised as verified. Each item shows what was claimed, the verification method, the geographic area, and the date of review. There are no scores, no rankings, and no predictions.

The Radar is the artist's private workspace — visible only to them. It shows all logged gigs and claims, including those awaiting verification. It surfaces what's missing and what the next action is. Nothing from the Radar appears publicly unless the artist explicitly approves it for the Passport.

Any live performer — solo musician, DJ, band, comedian, spoken-word artist. GIGPROOF is artist-type-agnostic. The system adapts to the artist's context rather than assuming a specific genre or format.

A booking manager (אמרגן) is the person who evaluates artists for events and takes reputational risk if a booking goes wrong. They receive Passport links, open them in a browser, and decide. GIGPROOF is free for booking managers — no account required to view a Passport.

A producer (מפיק) is the person who ran a specific event — took financial risk, sold tickets, managed the venue. They confirm the gig record via a bounded magic link. A producer is NOT the same as a booking manager. These are distinct roles and are never merged in this system.

Yes. A booking manager never needs to create an account, sign up, or pay to view a Passport. They receive a link, open it in a browser, and see the evidence.

No. A producer receives a unique, bounded magic link from the artist. They open it in their browser — no account, no password, no app. They see one gig record, and they confirm, flag, or decline. That is the full scope of their interaction.

It means the person who produced the event — who ran the show, took the financial risk — confirmed the gig record via a magic link. They saw the date and venue and clicked confirm. This is the strongest verification method for live-draw claims.

A magic link is a unique, bounded URL generated by GIGPROOF for a specific gig. The artist sends it to the producer via WhatsApp, SMS, or email. The link shows only that gig record. The producer can confirm, flag, or decline. The link expires after use and cannot be re-used to access other data.

Yes — if supported by another eligible method, such as a ticket export reviewed by a GIGPROOF operator. The method label will reflect the actual verification source. A claim with a weaker method label is still visible to the booking manager with the full label shown.

During the current beta period, GIGPROOF operators (the founding team) review submitted documents manually and assign method labels. Automated extraction is not yet active.

Yes. The artist has full control over what appears on the public Passport at all times. They can unpublish any claim. Removing a claim from the Passport does not delete the underlying gig record from the Radar.

A BandPill is the way audience draw is expressed on the Passport — as a text range (e.g. "70–150") rather than an exact number. This is by design. An exact figure implies precision that live attendance data rarely supports. A band is honest about what can actually be known. There is no fill bar, no gauge, and no visual representation of the number as a fraction of anything.

Evidence ages. A sold-out show in January 2026 carries different weight than one from 2022. GIGPROOF shows the review date and the period of the evidence so a booking manager can assess relevance to their current decision.

If a domain (e.g. streaming context) doesn't appear on a Passport, it means either no verified claim exists, or the artist chose not to publish it. GIGPROOF never shows "developing" or "missing" or any weakness indicator on the public Passport. Omission is the policy — not a placeholder.

GIGPROOF provides method-labelled evidence. It does not predict, guarantee, or imply that an artist will fill a floor, sell tickets, or perform to any specific outcome. Booking decisions remain entirely with the booking manager. Evidence is not a guarantee.

No. Real data is not stored before explicit, contextual consent. Consents are separate — account terms, data connection, public publication, and counterparty-name disclosure are each separate consent events. They are never pre-checked or bundled.

No. Exact figures are never shown on the public Passport — only bands. The internal Radar may hold a more precise estimate for operational purposes, but this is never surfaced to buyers.

No. Artist contact details are never accessible via a public session. An interested booking manager can send an availability request through the Passport; GIGPROOF routes it to the artist without exposing contact information.
