Music history is written in hindsight.
Everyone knows someone like that. The friend who wouldn't stop talking about a band before anyone cared. The record store employee who quietly handed you an album that changed your year.
Years later, everyone remembers the story.
Nobody can prove it.
Memory is private. Records are public.
Reviews come after the verdict. Charts measure what already happened. Music has never had a public record of who called it first.
CRI exists to write that record.
Every generation leaves behind a record of what mattered. Music deserves one for who believed first.
Every call is locked the moment it's made. Every call is scored against what actually happened. Nothing is edited, nothing is deleted, and no one gets to remember it differently. Being right is on the record. So is being wrong. That's what makes it a record.
Some people really do hear it first. For the first time, they'll be able to prove it.
The record is already being written.
