What we license
The systems your team works in today
Teams that use business software already have this history on hand. Here are the first systems we review.
- EMAIL
Email
Threads between your team, vendors and clients showing how choices really get made.
- DOCS
Documents and drives
The proposals, templates, procedures and reports your team files away.
- CHAT
Messaging
Slack or Teams channels where daily problems get raised and solved.
- CRM
CRM
The account notes, pipeline stages and follow ups your team keeps.
- TICKETS
Support history
What customers asked, how you replied and how it was resolved.
- PROJECTS
Work trackers
Tasks, timelines, comments and handoffs between people.
- ERP
ERP and finance tools
Orders, invoices, inventory and approval steps, with sensitive fields handled in scoping.
- CODE
Software code
Repositories, review comments and issue history from software teams.
The timing
Models learned to write from the open web. Your records can teach them to work.
By now, AI labs have used most of the public writing they can get to. 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 is kept inside established firms, in the tools your people use each day. Labs license it to build and test their models, and a firm with years of operations may hold more of it than it knows.

Wondering what range your company falls in? It only takes a minute.
Start my estimateThe process
Three steps, with your approval before anything is shared
- 01
A 15-minute call
After you send the estimate, a specialist from License Your Data, our licensing partner, calls within minutes to set up a 15-minute call about your systems.
- 02
De-identified records
A copy is prepared by License Your Data, with placeholders standing in for names and identifiers. You approve a sample before anything else, and your originals never move.
- 03
Licensing the approved copy
AI labs then license the copy you approved. From the start it is under NDA, sharing waits for your approval, and it is free for you.
Fields we work with
Any working business keeps a history
What the records look like across a few sample industries.
Accounting
Checklists for engagements, templates for workpapers, steps for review. Scope is set with you and your counsel; client data stays out.

How the practice schedules, operates and handles administration. Scope is set with you and your counsel; patient data stays out.
Production

Carriers and 3PLs
Shipment exceptions, carrier emails, dispatch notes and warehouse tickets.

Purchase orders, inventory questions, customer service and returns.

Data care
What never goes in
What gets licensed is how the work is done, not who your business serves.
Sensitive data
Before anything is shared, client, patient and customer personal data is either excluded or de-identified.
Your sign off
Your company shares nothing until you have approved what is in scope.
Still yours
The records stay with you. Licensing never removes them from your business.
Do I pay for the estimate?
It is free. You can request an estimate at no cost, and you are never obliged to license.
Am I being made 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 are AI labs looking for from my company?
Real records of how work gets done: the emails, documents, tickets and project history your team already produces.
What about client or patient information?
That stays out. Any sensitive data is de-identified or excluded ahead of sharing, after you have approved the scope.
Our business is a law, accounting or medical firm. Does this apply to us?
Scope is decided with you and your own counsel, and client or patient data stays out. We cannot advise you, legally, on whether licensing matches your obligations.
Do we give our records away?
No. You hold on to your records and keep working from them as usual.
What if we fall short of the bar?
The form shows you right away. Should you fall short today, you will hear from us if a buyer matches your business.
In your hands
You decide, at every step
Which tools
Email in and chat out, or tickets in and finance out. It is up to you.
What time span
Pick the years that are in. Anything recent or sensitive can stay out.
Which departments
Leave departments like HR or legal out of scope altogether.
Whether to proceed
Requesting an estimate puts you under no obligation. You are free to stop at any time before you sign.
Your records have a price. Check yours.
It takes four questions and about a minute, at no cost.
