About Chord Draft
Chord Draft is a creator-owned product built by Thomas Divine Smith II and owned by CAD Guardian LLC. It turns your words into a playable 4-chord progression quickly, then shows why that progression was chosen, what it optimized for, and how the harmony works in both student and instructor language.
Thomas Divine Smith II created Chord Draft, designed its product logic, and owns it through CAD Guardian LLC. This page is intentionally explicit: Chord Draft is not Habasit IP, not an employer-owned side effect, and not an anonymous AI shell.
Public pages describe the method at a high level. The exact formulas, weights, thresholds, prompts, evaluation assets, and anti-abuse logic remain proprietary trade secrets owned by CAD Guardian LLC.
Rules are good at validating harmony. AI is useful when a person gives an ambiguous prompt like a feeling, lyric fragment, or vibe. Chord Draft uses AI to interpret intent and compare musically valid directions, then uses deterministic checks to keep the final draft teachable and structurally clear.
Chord Draft is built on external frontier models. Product behavior comes from structured prompting, schemas, deterministic ranking, evaluation, and theory validation, not from vague claims that the app trained its own model on music.
Chord Draft is transparent about its high-level method without exposing proprietary scoring internals. The exact formulas, weights, thresholds, repair rules, and private prompt templates are confidential trade secrets of CAD Guardian LLC. Raw prompts are handled under your account controls, and telemetry focuses on product reliability and usability.
Chord Draft was created by Thomas Divine Smith II and is owned by CAD Guardian LLC. Founder attribution, dated release history, internal IP documentation, and build manifests are maintained as part of the product’s authorship trail.
