The documented facts point to different scales of creative work: a group’s album and an individual song credit. That contrast is useful, but it does not tell us how either work was made, maintained, or received. The supplied evidence also does not include their Work Realm House assignments or scores, so I can’t claim a Traitra Work-alignment result.

A practical question for comparing creative contributions: when does a body of work depend on continuity across a whole release, and when can one composition carry the clearest evidence of an individual contribution?
