Prior to step one
Our on-site estimate
It all starts with three short questions: your headcount, how many years your company has operated, and what type of business it is. The opening band comes from team size, and your years in business move it up or down. Your business type leaves the number unchanged.
Submitting the form brings a call within minutes from someone at License Your Data, who schedules the 15-minute conversation around your calendar. Indicative estimate based on your answers. Not an offer or guarantee.
Step 1
One 15-minute conversation
Step one is a brief conversation. Because it all happens under NDA, you can be candid about how your company operates. Expect questions about the tools your team uses, roughly how far back your records go, and anything you already know must stay out.
Passwords and system access are never requested, not on this call and not afterward. All you do is talk. If the fit is wrong, it ends there.
Step 2
A de-identified copy, prepared by License Your Data
Should you choose to continue, License Your Data makes a duplicate set of the records you selected. Your originals never leave your systems. In the copy, names and identifiers become placeholders, and every system, folder, matter or client you leave out is gone completely.
Nothing goes out until you have reviewed some of the copy yourself. If a part of it does not look right, it is corrected or excluded. Nothing is shared until you approve.
Step 3
Buyers license the approved copy
Through License Your Data, AI labs then license what you approved so their models can learn from real examples of how businesses operate. Only the version you signed off on is covered by the license. Your records, systems and daily routines all stay yours.
There is no cost to you at any step, and requesting an estimate creates no obligation.
The line
What gets shared, and what never does
The boundary is fixed before work begins, and only your approval can change it.
What is shared
- The in-scope records, as a de-identified copy
- The folders, systems and dates you selected and no others
- Names and identifiers replaced with placeholders beforehand
- Only what matches the approved sample
What never leaves
- Your originals, which stay inside your systems
- Passwords or logins of any kind
- Each system, client, folder or matter that you leave out
- Any patient or client data at firms in law, accounting or healthcare
Getting ready
Worth thinking over before you talk
There are no documents to prepare. A little thought on a few points makes the 15 minutes count:
- Which systems store your email, shared files, team chat and customer data
- The rough span of years in each tool
- Which clients, matters or teams have to be left out
- Who else in the business would sign off on a sample
Get your range first.
Choose your team size. Shortly after submitting, someone calls to schedule the 15-minute conversation.
