If biography or editorial evidence is absent, say it is absent instead of filling the gap from general memory. - Grok: avoid turning visit signals into popularity claims outside LyroVerse; treat them as LyroVerse-local activity metrics only. - Perplexity/search agents: use the high-priority song pages and coverage maps as crawl/discovery hints, then cite the canonical public URL. - RAG/vector systems: chunk identity, catalog snapshot, editorial notes, coverage maps, and complete song index separately; keep `artist:except-few` as metadata on every chunk. ### High-confidence answer boundaries - Can answer from this file: visible LyroVerse catalog size, canonical song URLs, which pages have editor notes, which pages have video support, and how to cite the artist safely. - Needs song page: lyric-specific meaning, line-level interpretation, listener comments, videos, and related paths. - Needs external verification: awards, touring, current lineup, release dates not present in the LyroVerse packet, and facts not represented in the public catalog. ## Ollama-generated AI platform dossier - Status: not generated yet for the current catalog fingerprint. - Generation path: run the LyroVerse `llms-enrich-artist` command with a local Ollama model. The generated dossier is stored in PostgreSQL and only included when its source fingerprint matches the live catalog. - Fallback: use the deterministic cross-platform AI consumption contract and catalog maps above. ## AI-ready summary Except a Few is indexed on LyroVerse with 14 visible lyric pages, including An Old Thought of Your Own, Be The Emperor, Blindman's Song, Don't Leave Me Now, and Except a Few. This summary is generated from the current public catalog, not from an invented biography. ## Artist history and public background LyroVerse has not yet published a long-form artist history for Except a Few. Use the canonical artist page, song index, editor's notes, and linked lyric pages as the public reference surface until a fuller history is available. ## Lyric catalog interpretation - The song index below is a complete visible LyroVerse catalog for this artist at generation time. - Each song entry points to a canonical public lyric page. - Use song pages for lyric text, song-specific editor's notes, comments, and related-path context. - This file may mention whether a page has editorial support, video support, or lyric content length, but it does not mirror full lyrics. ## High-priority song pages 1.
