Core Thesis
The streaming era did not simply flatten everything. It created a narrower central corridor, then rewarded selective contrast in records whose identity justified it.
Observed distribution
The corpus keeps showing a dominant middle band of safe loudness, with prestige, sync, and cinematic records more willing to reopen contrast when the release story depends on drama.
Why the report matters
This matters because dynamic posture is still being talked about as a moral argument when it is really a strategic one tied to context and intent.
Where to take it next
Read this with the dynamic range benchmark and production-era research so current releases can be compared against the longer arc.
