Your originals stay with you
The original files and the systems they live in remain with you.
You set the boundaries
Nothing is in scope unless you say so, down to the date range.
Sensitive details are removed
Anything sensitive is excluded or de-identified first.
The new demand
The public internet is used up. They still have not seen how real work gets done.
Most of the public text online has already gone into training today's models. What they almost never see is the inside of a normal business: the reply that closed a deal, the ticket that needed three attempts, the checklist that got better over the years.
This is the reason AI labs license records from businesses. With the private details removed, years of your work turn into training data that shows how things actually get done.
Qualifying records
The systems that count
Teams that have worked in these systems for years often hold records worth reviewing. Which ones go ahead is up to you.
How a question from a customer becomes a quote, a repair or a decision.
Chat
Short questions and replies that keep everyday work on track.
Finance and ERP
Approval, ordering and purchasing workflows, minus the private figures.
CRM
The ongoing record of every customer relationship.
Support tickets
Problems raised, handled and closed, step by step.
Shared drives and docs
Templates, how-to documents and project files your team relies on.
Source code history
How your own software was built and changed, commit by commit.
Project boards
Tasks created, assigned, blocked and finished.
Common questions
Questions owners often ask
Which businesses is this designed for?
Businesses with 20 or more employees, at least 3 years of trading and records stored in business software.
Do you charge for the estimate?
No. It costs nothing and you are under no obligation afterwards.
What comes after the four questions?
A specialist from License Your Data, the partner that handles licensing, calls you, usually within minutes.
Does the number on screen mean a buyer will pay it?
No. What you see is an indicative estimate from your answers, not an offer.
Who chooses what goes into a licence?
You. Each system, date range and record type needs your approval before it is included.
How is private information handled?
Sensitive data can be left out or de-identified before anything is shared.
Is this open to law, accounting or medical practices?
Scope is worked out with you and your counsel, and client or patient data stays out. We give no advice on whether licensing is permitted for you.
Does my type of business change the range?
No. It depends on headcount and years in business alone. Business type is used only to match buyers.

Starting ranges
Move the slider to your headcount
These starting ranges are the ones the estimate works from. After that, your years in business shift the number down or up. The kind of business you run never changes it.
Indicative estimate based on your answers. Not an offer or guarantee.
