9-Genre Excellence WAR Room
9 Genres, Forged Deep
SongForgeAI audits song lyrics genre-by-genre, with per-genre rules grounded in research — Pat Pattison prosody, the Berean Test, formant physics, the Specificity Paradox, the Springsteen pivot. Each genre has its own load-bearing measurable craft constraint, a Forbidden Archive of canonical failure modes, and a verified hit-anchor calibration corpus.

Why this matters
Measurable, not vibes
Each genre has 5-7 deterministic audit primitives. Rock measures closed-vowel chorus collisions via CMU phoneme analysis. Worship measures ambiguous-pronoun ratio against the Berean Test. Country measures concrete-imagery density. The math is reproducible.
Calibrated against hits
Every genre ships a 30+ entry corpus of verified canonical hits (Rolling Stone 500, Grammy Hall of Fame, Library of Congress Registry, etc.) — the audit primitives are tuned so those hits score at S+/S band. CC BY 4.0 licensed.
Built into the forge
When you choose a genre, the forge applies the per-substyle craft paradigm + banned failure modes + the load-bearing rule as a pre-output gate. The output isn’t generic AI lyrics — it’s lyrics that pass the audit your genre demands.
