Data licensing for established companies
Your company records have a price. Get your range.
Real company records are what AI labs license when they train and test models. Answer three questions and see an indicative range for your business.
- Costs nothing
- Zero obligation
- Takes a minute
- Your approval on scope
Records we license
Records from the software you already run
If your team works in business software, the history is already there. These are the systems we look at first.
- EMAIL
Email threads
Messages with staff, vendors and customers that capture real decision making.
- DOCS
Shared files
Proposals, procedures, templates and reports saved in shared folders.
- CHAT
Chat channels
Slack or Teams channels where daily problems get raised and solved.
- CRM
CRM records
Notes on accounts, stages of each deal and the follow ups your team records.
- TICKETS
Help desk tickets
Requests, responses and resolutions logged by your support team.
- PROJECTS
Project tools
The tasks, deadlines, notes and handoffs your projects run on.
- ERP
Accounting and ERP
Orders, invoices, inventory and approvals, with sensitive fields dealt with during scoping.
- CODE
Codebases
Issue history, repositories and code reviews from your software team.
Why now
Writing came from the public web. Real records can teach them how to do the work.
AI labs have already trained on nearly all the public text available to them. Missing from that text is how businesses actually run, from pricing a quote to fixing a delayed shipment to reviewing a junior colleague's work.
That record sits inside established businesses, in the systems your team uses every day. Labs license it to build and test their models, and a firm with years of operations may hold more of it than it knows.

Sample ranges
Starting ranges by team size
The estimate opens with these bands for a business that has 3 to 5 years of history. The range rises with a longer history. Your industry has no effect on it.

Industries
Every kind of operating business keeps records
What the records look like across a few sample industries.
CPA and accounting
Workpaper templates, review steps and engagement checklists. You and your counsel settle the scope; client data is kept out.
Law
How matters move, plus templates and internal procedures. Scope is set with you and your counsel; client data stays out.
Healthcare operations
Administrative workflows, operations and scheduling. Scope is set with you and your counsel; patient data stays out.
Manufacturers
Work orders, quality checks, supplier threads and shop floor procedures.
Freight and 3PL firms
Dispatch notes, warehouse tickets, carrier email and shipment exceptions.
Distribution companies
Purchase orders, stock questions, customer service and returns.
Construction
Submittals, RFIs, daily logs, change orders and punch lists.
Insurance firms
Claims handling, underwriting steps and notes from policy service, with policyholder data kept out.
Finance
Reviews, procedures and records of operations, with account and customer data excluded.
Services firms
Project plans, proposals, templates for deliverables and service workflows.
Software or tech
Code, tickets, product specs and the discussions behind each release.
Heating and cooling

How it works
Three steps, and nothing goes out until you approve
- 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.
- 02
A de-identified copy
In the copy License Your Data prepares, placeholders take the place of names and identifiers. Your original files stay put, and a sample comes to you for approval first.
- 03
The copy is licensed
AI labs then license the copy you approved. It all begins under NDA, nothing is shared without your approval, and it costs you nothing.
Your say
You decide, at every step
What systems
Include email but not chat, or tickets but not finance. Entirely your choice.
Which years
Choose which years are included. Leave out anything recent or sensitive.
Which teams
HR, legal or any other department can stay fully out of scope.
If you continue
Requesting an estimate puts you under no obligation. Up until you sign, you can step away whenever you like.
How data is handled
What stays out
Licensing is about how work is done, not about the people your business serves.
Private details
Personal data about clients, patients and customers is removed or de-identified before anything is shared.
You approve first
No record leaves your company until you approve the scope.
Records stay yours
Every record stays in your hands. Nothing about licensing takes them away.
How much does an estimate cost?
Nothing. You can request an estimate at no cost, and you are never obliged to license.
Is this range a firm offer?
No. Indicative estimate based on your answers. Not an offer or guarantee. The real value depends on buyer demand and a review of your data.
Who will call me after I send it?
Our licensing partner, License Your Data, phones within minutes to schedule a 15-minute call about the systems you use.
What would an AI lab want from a company like ours?
Records that show real work, like the email, documents, tickets and project history already in your systems.
What happens to client or patient information?
It is not included. Before anything is shared, sensitive data is excluded or de-identified, and the scope needs your approval first.
We are a law firm, accounting firm or medical practice. Is this open to us?
Scope is set together with you and your own counsel, with client or patient data kept out. Whether licensing suits your obligations is a legal question we do not advise on.
Do we give up our records?
No. You keep every record and keep running your business with them.
What if we do not qualify yet?
You find out from the form at once. If you are below the bar for now, we will reach out when a buyer suits your business.
Your records have a price. See how much.
Four questions, about a minute, and no cost to you.
