Top UX Risks
Release workflow has many paths
Create, select tracks, upload tracks, placeholder tracks, edit release, and command center actions all intersect.
Run a timed release creation test with one existing track and one placeholder track.
Demo Inbox density needs live review
Cards are simplified, but multiple workflow sections can still feel busy.
Observe whether reviewers can choose Review, Shortlist, or Pass within ten seconds.
Save feedback should be validated
Several modals close after save, while workflow actions show inline confirmation.
Ask testers whether closing after save feels clear or too silent.
Permissions language is still foundational
Roles and permissions are visible, but not yet tied to real access enforcement.
Keep permissions framed as foundation during validation.

Validation Notes
What worked?
Guided Discovery makes the first next step visible on Track, Release, Label, and Organization surfaces.
What confused us?
Some intelligence detail may still appear too technical without the Details disclosure pattern.
What needs improvement?
Save feedback should be watched closely during first validation sessions.
