Illustrative example. AI developers value the sequence of decisions and exceptions. Names, contacts and free-text personal details are removed before anything is shared.

Why now

AI models have read the public internet. What they lack is a record of how work actually gets done.

The companies building AI now license real operational data: the steps, judgment calls and exceptions inside everyday business workflows. Years of tickets, claims, dispatches and approvals sitting in your systems can become a recurring source of revenue, without changing how you operate.

How it works

A straightforward process, with your team in control at every step.

  1. Introductory call

    A 30-minute conversation about your workflows, the systems you use and the kind of records you keep. We never need access to your data to assess fit.

  2. Partner match

    We identify which established AI data partners are actively seeking data like yours, and tell you who they are before any introduction is made.

  3. Review and terms

    The partner evaluates fit and proposes terms directly to you. Your team and your counsel review the agreement. Nothing moves forward without your sign-off.

  4. Ongoing partnership

    Data is anonymized and delivered under your agreement, and partnerships typically pay over time as data is contributed. We remain your point of contact throughout.

Commitments

The standards we hold ourselves to.

We never touch your data

We do not access, store, view or resell company data. Any data moves directly between you and the partner, under an agreement you approve.

Transparent compensation

Our work is free to you. We are paid a referral fee by the data partner when a partnership is signed, and we disclose that arrangement up front.

No promised numbers

Value depends on your data's volume, depth and uniqueness. Partners provide estimates after their own review, and we never quote figures we cannot stand behind.

Privacy first

We only introduce partners whose programs anonymize data and exclude personal information. Your counsel reviews every agreement.

No obligation

You can stop at any stage, for any reason. An introduction is never a commitment.

Who it's for

Built for established, operations-heavy companies.

A strong fit

  • Several years of operating history
  • Documented, repeatable processes
  • Work tracked in software such as ticketing, ERP, CRM or project tools
  • Multi-step workflows that involve judgment, not only data entry

Usually not a fit

  • Data that is mostly consumer personal information
  • Medical records or other regulated health data
  • Data you do not own or have rights to license

Questions

Common questions.

Is this selling our data?

No. You license access to anonymized data for a defined purpose and scope. You keep ownership, and the agreement sets out exactly what is shared and how it may be used.

What about our customers' and employees' privacy?

The partners we work with anonymize data and remove personal information before it is used. The specific process is documented in your agreement, and your counsel reviews it before anything is shared.

What does it cost us?

Nothing. We are compensated by the data partner through a referral fee, and we will tell you how that works before any introduction.

Who are the buyers?

Established AI data companies that supply training and evaluation data to AI developers. We name the specific partner before introducing you, so you can do your own diligence.

How long does it take?

The introductory call takes 30 minutes. From there, timing depends on the partner's review and your own legal process. Most of the time is spent on review and agreement, not on work for your team.

How much is our data worth?

It depends on volume, depth and how difficult it would be to find elsewhere. We do not quote numbers. Partners provide estimates after reviewing fit, before you commit to anything.
