Data licensing

Your years of work, licensed on your terms.

AI labs now license copies of everyday records, like email, chat and tickets. We help you see what you have, keep what matters out, and find one buyer that fits.

No fee, no files and no logins before anything is signed.

Book a call How it works

It starts in your inbox.

Your team has spent years in email, chat and tickets. A client asks for a quote. Someone flags a problem. The team works it out, and it all gets written down.

Do that for years and you hold something rare. It’s a true record of how good work gets done.

AI labs want to learn from that. Public text can’t teach a model how a real team gets through a hard week. Your records can.

Messy is fine. Half-done threads and odd fixes are often the point. Still, not every firm is a fit, and we’ll tell you if yours is not.

You license a copy. You keep the rest.

A license lets a buyer use a copy under written terms. The terms say what it may do, for how long, and what stays out. You keep the originals and keep working from them.

We are the go-between. We aren’t the lab, and we don’t act as its agent. If a buyer pays us, you see that in writing before any introduction.

First, a map. No data moves.

One row per system, filled in by talking with you.

We start with a Data Inventory. Each row says what a tool holds, the years it covers, a rough size and who runs it. It also says what stays out.

We never see a file, a login or an export to make it. You end up knowing what you have. That helps even if the answer is no.

System: Email
What’s in it: Client threads about quotes, delivery, fixes and handoffs.
Years: The years the tool has been in use.
Size: A rough count, from the person who runs it.
Run by: The role that would run any export.
Stays out: HR and staff files, direct messages, health, legal and client-held files.
For your lawyer: Platform terms, EU or UK data and call recordings.
Data moved: None.

You choose what’s in.

Some things never leave. The rest is up to you.

Out from the start: HR and staff files. Direct messages. Health, card and children’s data. Legal advice. Passwords and keys.
Out unless cleared: Records you hold for clients. Channels you share with customers. Anything under an NDA or a data processing deal. These stay out unless your lawyer says you have the right.
For your lawyer: Personal data from the EU or UK. Call and meeting recordings. Platform terms. The promises in your own privacy policy.
Your call: Anything else. A system, a date range, a client, a project or your pricing.
Who decides: You and your lawyer. We flag. We don’t rule.

Six steps. You can stop at any one.

Nothing moves without your written consent.

01
A short talk
Under a mutual NDA if you like. We ask about your work and what you want to keep safe. We never ask for a file, a login or an export.
02
The map
One row per system, filled in by talking. A map, not a transfer.
03
Your scope
You pick what goes in. Your lawyer weighs any rights questions now, before anything moves.
04
A plain answer
One buyer that fits, a separate prep job, or not now. We never shop your firm to many buyers at once.
05
Written consent
Someone who can sign for the firm agrees in writing. It names the buyer and says how we’re paid, and by whom.
06
The buyer’s deal
The buyer runs its own checks. You sign its license with your lawyer. Only then does your own admin run the export. No app, login or link into your systems, and the signed deal sets how files move.

Care at every step.

The hard parts get thought through early, with you and your lawyer.

Scope beats scrubbing

Taking out names is the easy part. A pasted contract or an API key can still slip through. So whole groups stay out before any export exists. No process removes every risk, so leaving a group out is always an option.

Hands-on prep

Prep is a separate job. When we do it, we scan for secrets and swap names for stand-ins. We read samples by hand. You sign off on a sample before anything is final.

Only what is yours

Some records belong to clients. Shared channels hold other firms’ words. Those stay out unless your lawyer clears them. Every rights question reaches your lawyer before anything moves.

Your team stays private

Direct messages and HR files stay out. Staff are never named. Whether to tell your team, and how, is up to you and your lawyer.

A choice you can explain

Pick a scope you’d be glad to explain to clients and staff. Clients are never named. The buyer’s terms say whether it may say it worked with you.

If the firm has closed

Its records may still be licensed, but who can sign may change. It could be an officer, an assignee or a trustee. Creditors may have a claim, so your lawyer weighs in early.

The law has a say too. Privacy rules can reach internal records. Health, card and children’s data stay out, and EU or UK data and call recordings are flagged. We aren’t lawyers and don’t give legal advice. We make sure the right questions reach yours before any export.

Read these terms closely.

We’ll help you ask the right questions. Your lawyer gives the answers.

Once a model learns from your data, it can’t really unlearn it. Deleting the copy is not the same thing. So agree only to what you can live with for good.

Scope: Who may use the data, for what, and whether they may pass it on.
Term: How long the license runs, and what lasts after it ends.
Exclusivity: Whether you may license to anyone else, and when. Check it against any plans to raise money or exit.
Deletion: What happens to raw copies, and when. Deleting a copy doesn’t undo what a model learned.
Payment: When you get paid, whether it waits on the buyer’s review, and any clauses that claw money back.
Naming: Whether the buyer may say it worked with you, and what it must keep quiet.
Competition: Whether the data may help build something that competes with you. If that matters, limit it in the terms.
Liability: Who is on the hook for how the data is gathered, cleaned, kept and used.

On price, we quote no figures on a first call and promise no payout. Buyers make offers. You decide, in your own time. We set no deadlines, and “not now” is always a full answer.

How we’re paid, up front.

Companies pay nothing upfront for an introduction. The buyer or a partner pays us when a deal closes. The consent you sign names the buyer and says how we’re paid, before any introduction.

Data prep is a separate job, with terms agreed in writing before work starts. For any one firm, we do one or the other, never both. If how we’re paid would ever change our advice, we’ll tell you.

How we get paid, in full

Quick answers.

None of this is legal advice. Your lawyer and the buyer’s terms decide.

Do we lose our data?

No. A buyer gets the right to use a copy, and you keep the originals.

Can we leave out a client or a project?

Yes. Anything can stay out, and some things are out from the start.

Will you connect to our systems?

No, we never ask for logins or app access. After signing, your own admin runs the export.

What will we be paid?

We quote no figures and promise no payout. Buyers make offers, and you decide.

How much work is this for us?

The first steps are just talks. After signing, your admin runs an export and you sign off on a sample.

Can we say no after the map?

Yes. “Not now” is a full answer, and you keep the map either way.

Start with the map, not a file.

A short call. No fee, no files and no logins before anything is signed, and no deadline from us.
