Supplier threads, production plans, work orders and quality notes.
The process
Three steps after 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
Protected by an NDA, you walk through your systems, your past records and anything to exclude. Nobody asks for passwords.
A de-identified copy
License Your Data prepares a copy with names replaced by placeholders. Your originals never leave your systems, and you approve a sample.
The copy is licensed
The license covers the copy you approved and nothing else. There is no cost to you.

Who qualifies
Three boxes to check off
Most companies that have been operating a while qualify. The estimate confirms it either way.
- 20 employees or moreCount every location, part-time staff included.
- Operating for 3 years or longerBuyers learn more from a longer record.
- Your records live in business toolsMicrosoft 365, Google Workspace, Slack, CRM, ERP or project tools.
Why now
Public text has been read. 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.
Established companies hold that record, in the tools your staff opens each morning. AI labs use it for training and testing, while the company that holds it chooses what is included and what is not.
What qualifies
The eight systems that matter most
Teams that work in business software already have these records. Each one is a possible part of the scope and never a must.
Email with customers, vendors and staff showing how decisions come together.
Files and shared drives
Proposals, procedures, templates, drawings and the files behind projects.
Team chat
Threads and channels where issues get sorted out live.
CRM
Deal history, account notes and the follow-up behind every opportunity.
Support tickets
The original request, the replies and the final resolution.
Project tools
Task lists, boards, updates and handoffs from team to team.
Accounting and ERP
Orders, billing, stock moves and month-end close work.
Code
Source repositories, review threads and past issues.
Data handling
You decide what is left out
Your records remain with you the entire time, and nothing is shared until you say yes.
You decide
- What systems are part of it
- Which date ranges and teams are included
- The exclusions, set before any record moves
- Whether to go ahead at all
Excluded or de-identified
- Sensitive records, excluded or de-identified ahead of sharing
- Regulated firms' client and patient data
- Anything you choose to keep out
Do my records leave my hands?
No. You keep your systems and every record in them. Only what you approve in scope is licensed.
Does it cost anything to check?
No. You can request an estimate free, with no obligation to continue.
Does my type of business change the number?
No. Business type is used to find buyers who fit. Only company size and age shape the range.
Is my range an offer?
No. The range is only indicative, drawn from your staff count and time in business. Any actual figure depends on reviewing your records.
What is being licensed, exactly?
A defined group of records, for example email, documents or tickets, licensed so AI labs can train and test models. The set covers what you sign off on in scoping, nothing beyond that.
What about sensitive information?
Sensitive data can be excluded or de-identified before anything is shared, and nothing is shared without your approval.
Who calls me after I submit?
