The moment

Writing came from the public web. Your company's history can teach them to work.

AI labs have already trained on nearly all the public text available to them. What they still lack is the record of how real companies operate: how a quote gets built, how a late shipment gets fixed, how a manager reviews a junior's work.

That record sits inside established businesses, in the systems your team uses every day. AI labs license that record to train and test models, and a long running business may have more of it than it assumes.

Steps

Nothing moves until you approve, in three steps

  1. 01

    A 15-minute call

    Once your estimate is in, our licensing partner License Your Data has a specialist phone you within minutes to book a 15-minute call on your systems.

  2. 02

    A de-identified copy

    License Your Data builds a copy that swaps every name and identifier for a placeholder. Your original files stay put, and a sample comes to you for approval first.

  3. 03

    Buyers license the copy

    AI labs license the version you signed off on. It all begins under NDA, nothing is shared without your approval, and it costs you nothing.

By industry

Any working business keeps a history

Here is what that history tends to look like in a few industries.

  • Accounting practices

    Workpaper templates, review steps and engagement checklists. Client data is excluded, and the scope gets decided by you and your counsel.

  • Legal

    Matter workflows, templates and internal procedures. Client data is excluded, and the scope gets decided by you and your counsel.

  • Medical practices

    Administrative workflows, operations and scheduling. Scope is agreed with you and your counsel, and patient data stays out.

  • Production

    Shop floor procedures, supplier threads, quality checks and work orders.

  • Carriers and 3PLs

    Dispatch notes, warehouse tickets, carrier email and shipment exceptions.

  • Distributors

    Purchase orders, inventory questions, customer service and returns.

  • Construction companies

    Change orders, daily logs, punch lists, RFIs and submittals.

  • Insurance companies

    Underwriting workflows, claims procedures and policy service notes, with policyholder data kept out.

  • Finance companies

    Operations records, internal reviews and procedures, without account or customer data.

  • Professional firms

    Proposals, plans for projects, deliverable templates and service steps for clients.

  • Technology companies

What you control

You make the call each step of the way

  • Which systems

    You might share email and hold back chat, or share tickets and hold back finance. Entirely your choice.

  • Which dates

    Select the years that go in. Recent or sensitive periods can be left out.

  • Which departments

    HR, legal or any other department can stay fully out of scope.

  • Your final say

    There is no obligation in getting an estimate. Before anything is signed, you can end it at any point.

Data handling

What stays private

Licensing covers how your team works, not the people you serve.

  • Sensitive information

    Any personal data on clients, patients or customers is de-identified or left out before sharing.

  • Your approval

    No record leaves your company until you approve the scope.

  • You keep them

    The records stay with you. Licensing does not take them away from you.

Your questions

The first questions we hear

More answers on the security and FAQ page.

Is there a fee for an estimate?

Nothing at all. Getting an estimate is free and does not commit you to license anything.

Does the range count as an offer?

No. Indicative estimate based on your answers. Not an offer or guarantee. The final value rests on buyer demand and a review of the data itself.

Who contacts me once I submit?

You get a call within minutes from a License Your Data specialist, our licensing partner, to set a 15-minute call on the tools you use.

What do AI labs want from a company like mine?

Real records of how work gets done: the emails, documents, tickets and project history your team already produces.

Does client or patient data get shared?

It is excluded. Sensitive data is removed or de-identified before sharing, and you sign off on the scope beforehand.

Our business is a law, accounting or medical firm. Is this open to us?

The scope is worked out with you and your own counsel, and no client or patient data goes in. We give no legal advice about whether licensing fits your duties.

Do we give our records away?

No. Your records stay with you, and your business keeps using them.

And if we are not eligible today?

The form tells you right away. If you do not meet the bar yet, we will contact you should a buyer fit your company.

Your records have a price. Check yours.
