The process
After your estimate, three steps
First, the estimate. When you submit, a specialist from License Your Data, our licensing partner, calls within minutes to set up a 15-minute call.
- 01
A 15-minute talk
Go over your systems, how many years they cover and what has to stay out. It all starts under NDA.
- 02
A copy with names removed
License Your Data makes a copy with names swapped for placeholders. Nothing original ever leaves your systems.
- 03
Licensing the copy
After you approve a sample, AI labs license that copy. No passwords and nothing to pay.
Qualifying records
Records from the systems you already run on
Years of history sit across these tools at most established companies. You choose which ones are in scope.
Email
Messages with customers, vendors and your own team, showing how a request turns into a decision.
Docs and shared drives
Proposals, procedures, templates and project files stored in shared folders.
Messaging
Channels and threads where everyday problems get raised and solved.
CRM
The notes, history and follow ups behind each customer account.
Support cases
Each question, troubleshooting step and resolution, start to finish.
Task tools
Boards, tasks and handoffs showing how work moves from start to finish.
Finance and ERP
Orders, purchasing and operational workflows, with sensitive numbers kept out.
Code
Repositories, reviews and change history from software your team built.

The open internet is largely used up. Company records are untapped.
Models were trained on freely downloadable text from the web. Little of that supply is left. What they are missing is how real companies work: a quote being revised, a support case being fixed, a project moving from start to handoff.
That knowledge lives in the email, files and tools your team uses every day. With the private parts taken out, labs license those records to train and evaluate models.
Range preview
How the range starts
Headcount decides the starting range. Years in business moves it down or up a little. The number is the same whatever your industry.
Indicative estimate based on your answers. Not an offer or guarantee.

Start my estimateWhat is excluded
Sensitive data can be excluded
Before anything is shared, personal details, financial account numbers, health information and whatever else you flag can be excluded or de-identified.
Nothing moves without your approval
The scope is yours to review and approve. Records you leave out are never part of a licence.
Your records stay yours
Licensing does not take your systems or originals away. Your company runs exactly as before.

Get my estimate
What kind of company is this for?
Businesses with 20 or more employees, 3 or more years of operating history and records kept in business software.
What do you charge for the estimate?
Nothing. Requesting an estimate is free and creates no obligation.
Who contacts me after I submit?
Usually within minutes, a specialist from License Your Data, our licensing partner, calls you.
Do I have to include every system?
No. You pick the systems, date ranges and record types. Anything you leave out stays out.
What about personal or sensitive data?
Before anything is shared it can be excluded or de-identified, and the scope needs your approval first.
Is the range I see an offer?
No. It is an indicative estimate based on your answers. Actual value comes down to buyer interest and a look at your records.
We are a law, accounting or healthcare practice. Are we able to join?
Your counsel helps set the scope with you, and client or patient data is excluded. We give no advice on whether licensing is appropriate for you.
Will my industry affect the estimate?
No. The range comes from team size and years in business.
