Curator Strategy // Protocol 05

Sequencing Logic

Building arcs, not lists. Maximize session duration through intelligent ordering.

The V-Arc Strategy

A common error is the flatline approach—keeping energy constant. The optimal structure for a 50-track list is a series of "V-Arcs".

  • Track 1-3: High familiarity, high energy (The Hook).
  • Track 4-7: Descending energy, increasing discovery/novelty.
  • Track 8-10: Ascending energy, leading to a climax track.
