Data that qualifies

It starts with software you already run

  • EMAIL

    Email threads

    Email exchanges that show how your people, suppliers and customers settle decisions.

  • DOCS

    Shared files

    The proposals, templates, procedures and reports your team files away.

  • CHAT

    Team messaging

    Slack or Teams channels where everyday issues come up and get resolved.

  • CRM

    Customer CRM

    Notes on accounts, stages of each deal and the follow ups your team records.

  • TICKETS

    Help desk

    Requests, responses and resolutions logged by your support team.

  • PROJECTS

    Project software

    The tasks, deadlines, notes and handoffs your projects run on.

  • ERP

    Invoices, orders, stock and approval steps, with sensitive fields addressed during scoping.

The timing

Models learned to write from the open web. Real records can teach them how to do the work.

Most of the public text within reach has already been used by AI labs for training. What they still lack is the record of how real companies operate: how a quote gets built, how a late shipment gets fixed, how a manager reviews a junior's work.

That record lives inside established companies, in the systems your staff work in daily. It is licensed by labs for training and testing models, and companies with long histories often have more of it than they think.

How it works

Three steps, and nothing goes out until you approve

  1. 01

    A 15-minute call

    Once your estimate is in, our licensing partner License Your Data has a specialist phone you within minutes to book a 15-minute call on your systems.

  2. 02

    A copy with identities removed

    License Your Data prepares a copy with names and identifiers replaced by placeholders. Nothing original leaves your systems, and you review a sample before it goes further.

  3. 03

    Licensing the approved copy

    The approved copy is what AI labs license. From the start it is under NDA, sharing waits for your approval, and it is free for you.

Range preview

Ranges by team size

The estimate begins with these bands for companies that have 3 to 5 years of history. A longer track record raises the range. Industry plays no part in the number.

Sectors

All kinds of businesses keep useful records

Here is what that history tends to look like in a few industries.

  • CPA and accounting

    Engagement checklists, workpaper templates and the steps of review. Client data is excluded, and the scope gets decided by you and your counsel.

  • Legal practices

    Internal procedures, document templates and matter workflows. Scope is agreed with you and your counsel, and client data stays out.

  • Healthcare

    Administrative workflows, operations and scheduling. Scope is worked out with you and your counsel, with patient data excluded.

  • Manufacturers

    Shop floor procedures, supplier threads, quality checks and work orders.

  • 3PL and freight

    Carrier emails, shipment exceptions, dispatch notes and warehouse tickets.

  • Distributors

    Purchase orders, inventory questions, customer service and returns.

  • Construction companies

    RFIs, submittals, change orders, daily logs and punch lists.

  • Insurers

    Policy service notes, claims handling and underwriting workflows, without policyholder data.

  • Financial services

    Operations records, internal reviews and procedures, without account or customer data.

  • Professional firms

    Proposals, project plans, deliverable templates and client service workflows.

  • Technology companies

    Code, tickets, specs and the conversations behind every release.

  • HVAC

    Maintenance records, install checklists, dispatch notes and service calls.

Handling your data

What is left out

The focus is on how work gets done, not on your clients or customers.

  • Sensitive records

    Before anything is shared, client, patient and customer personal data is either excluded or de-identified.

  • Your approval

    Nothing leaves your company until you have approved the scope.

  • Still yours

    The records stay with you. They are not taken from you by a license.

Your say

You decide, at every step

  • Which systems

    Put email in and leave chat out, or include tickets and skip finance. Your call.

  • What time span

    Pick the years that are in. Keep out anything sensitive or too recent.

  • What teams

    Whole departments, HR or legal for example, can stay out.

  • Going ahead or not

    Asking for an estimate commits you to nothing. You can stop at any point before signing.

FAQ

Questions owners ask first

For other questions, visit the security and FAQ page.

How much does an estimate cost?

Nothing at all. There is no charge for an estimate and no obligation to license anything.

Is the range an offer?

No. Indicative estimate based on your answers. Not an offer or guarantee. What it is really worth comes down to buyer demand and a look at your data.

Who contacts me once I submit?

You get a call within minutes from a License Your Data specialist, our licensing partner, to set a 15-minute call on the tools you use.

Why do AI labs care about my company's records?

Genuine records of real work: the email, documents, tickets and project history your team creates anyway.

How is client or patient data handled?

That stays out. You approve the scope first, and sensitive data is left out or de-identified before anything goes out.

Our business is a law, accounting or medical firm. Is this open to us?

You and your own counsel decide the scope, and client or patient data stays out. We do not give legal advice on whether licensing fits your obligations.

Do we give up our records?

No. You hold on to your records and keep working from them as usual.

Suppose we do not qualify right now?

You find out from the form at once. If you are under the bar today, we will be in touch if a buyer fits your business.

Your company records are worth something. Find yours.

Four questions, roughly a minute, and nothing to pay.
