What can be licensed

The everyday records your team already keeps

AI labs license genuine records of how businesses operate. This is what that means in practice.

Why working records matter

Models learn a lot from public text, but very little of it shows a real company at work. Your records capture the steps from request to result: who asked, who replied, what changed and how it was approved.

That is what labs license for training and testing models.

Where we look

Mailboxes

Inbox records in Google Workspace or Microsoft 365. Exchanges between staff, vendors and customers show how questions are answered and decisions reached.

Shared files

Shared folders in SharePoint, OneDrive or Google Drive, holding proposals, procedures, checklists, templates and reports, often with revision history.

Messaging

Microsoft Teams or Slack channels where people flag issues, pass work along and settle on fixes.

CRM

Call summaries, account notes, deal stages and follow ups recorded by sales or service staff.

Support tickets

The full help desk trail, from the question through each reply and escalation to the fix.

Project software

Status changes, comments, timelines and tasks from tools like Jira, Asana or Monday.

ERP and finance

Invoices, orders, inventory moves and approval steps. Scoping takes care of account numbers and personal details.

Code and reviews

Repositories, code review threads, pull requests and issue history kept by software teams.

What stays out of a license

Client, patient and customer personal data stays out or is de-identified, and you can leave out any system, team or period. Our data handling page sets out how.

How much history counts

Longer histories are usually more useful, since they show how work evolved and how recurring problems were handled each time. This is why years in business counts as one of the two inputs to the estimate. You still pick which dates are in scope, and recent or sensitive periods can stay out.

What shapes your estimate

The estimate's range rests on two things: how big your team is and how many years of records you hold. More people and more history each push the range higher. The number is the same in every industry. Indicative estimate based on your answers. Not an offer or guarantee.

How your records become a licensed copy

A license never covers your systems or your original files. After a 15-minute call, License Your Data, our licensing partner, prepares a de-identified copy of the records you put in scope, with names and identifiers replaced by placeholders. A sample gets your approval, and then buyers license the copy.
