Threads with customers, vendors and colleagues that show how decisions get made.
The process
What follows your estimate
Begin with the questions at the top. Within minutes, a License Your Data specialist calls you to book a 15-minute call, as our licensing partner.
A 15-minute call
Under NDA, you explain which systems you rely on, how long you have records and what is excluded. Nobody asks for passwords.
A copy with names removed
A copy is prepared by License Your Data, with placeholders in place of names. The originals stay put in your systems, and a sample needs your approval.
Buyers license the copy
The license covers the copy you approved and nothing else. You pay nothing.

Why now
Labs have read the public web. Company records have not.
Labs trained today's models on public web text, and most of that supply is now used up. What is still missing is a view of how real companies run: how a quote is priced, how a ticket is closed, how a project goes from kickoff to handoff.
It is kept by established businesses, in the everyday software your people already open. AI labs use it for training and testing, while the company that holds it chooses what is included and what is not.
What qualifies
Eight systems where the value sits
If your team works in business software, the records already exist. Every system listed is an option for scope, not something you must include.
Documents and drives
SOPs, proposals, drawings, templates and project folders.
Team chat
Live conversations where problems are worked through.
CRM
Deal history, account notes and the follow-up behind every opportunity.
Support tickets
The question, every reply, and how the issue was finally resolved.
Project tools
Boards, tasks, status updates and team handoffs.
Accounting and ERP
Inventory, invoices, orders and the month-end process.
Code
Source repositories, review threads and past issues.

Something else

Who qualifies
Three things to check
Most established operating businesses meet these. Either way, the estimate will tell you.
- 20 or more employeesIncludes part-time plus full-time staff at all sites.
- Operating for 3 years or longerA longer history gives buyers more to learn from.
- Your records live in business toolsMicrosoft 365 or Google Workspace, Slack, CRM or ERP systems, or project software.
Data handling
What stays out is yours to decide
Your records remain with you the entire time, and nothing is shared until you say yes.
You decide
- Which systems are part of the scope
- Which periods and teams go in
- What is excluded before anything moves
- If you go ahead in the first place
Left out or de-identified
- Anything sensitive, removed or de-identified first
- Client and patient data at regulated firms
- Whatever you flag as off limits
Does my type of business change the number?
No. Your business type helps pair you with suitable buyers. Headcount and years operating are what set the range.
Is my range an offer?
No. It is indicative, built from what you told us about headcount and how long you have operated. Any real figure depends on a review of your records.
What exactly would we license?
A set of company records, like email, documents or tickets, that AI labs use to train and test their models. Only what you approve in scoping is in the set.
Do my records leave my hands?
No. You keep your records and your systems. A license reaches only the scope you approve.
Who contacts me after I send the form?
Within minutes, our licensing partner's specialist calls to arrange a 15-minute call on your answers and your tools.
What happens to sensitive data?
Sensitive data may be removed or de-identified first, and no record goes out without your approval.
Does checking cost anything?
No. It is free to request an estimate, and you are under no obligation afterward.
Begin with a single answer.
