Before you make your call.
CRI — the Cultural Relevance Index — is the public record of cultural foresight. You call which albums will break, and every call is locked, scored against real outcomes, and permanently recorded. It is the first public, verifiable record for music taste.
Each week, a curated set of new albums enters the Heat Window. You have 72 hours to make your call — Back or Fade. Your call is locked immediately, scored against real outcomes after the window closes, and permanently recorded on your public record.
Reviews are opinions after the fact. CRI is predictions before it happens — scored against reality. You are not rating an album. You are calling its cultural outcome before the verdict is in. The difference is accountability.
Back means you believe the album will break culturally. Fade means you believe it won't. Calls are binary, locked immediately, and cannot be edited. No hedging, no nuance — just a clear call on the record.
Outcomes are measured against real cultural signals after each Heat Window closes. Your accuracy compounds over time, building a verifiable public record visible on the CRI leaderboard.
The founding members of CRI. Everyone who joins before the Founding Class closes is permanently marked on their public record as part of the first chapter of the system. Registration is open — your record starts with your first call.
