The process
Three steps, and nothing moves until you sign off
The estimate comes first. After that, the whole process is a short call, a de-identified copy you check, and a license on that copy.
See my estimateWhere it starts: the estimate
The estimate asks how many people work at your company, how long you have been in business, what kind of business it is, and how to reach you. It takes roughly a minute, and the range changes as you go. Indicative estimate based on your answers. Not an offer or guarantee.
Within minutes of sending it, you get a call from a License Your Data specialist, our licensing partner. That opening call is quick. All it does is book a 15-minute call at a time that works for you.
Step one: a 15-minute call
This 15-minute call is about your systems, not a pitch. The specialist asks what software your team uses, about how many years of history it holds, and what you already know you want left out.
- Which email, file and chat systems you use
- Whether you run a CRM, a help desk, project tools or an ERP
- Anything off limits, such as certain clients, matters, teams or folders
- Who else at your company should be part of the decision
Everything from this point starts under NDA. You do not need to prepare anything for the call.
Second step: a de-identified copy from License Your Data
Once you agree on scope, License Your Data prepares a de-identified copy of the records you put in. Your original files never move, and passwords are never requested or handed over.
The copy swaps names and identifiers for placeholders. Any system, folder, client or matter can be left out. A sample comes to you for review and approval first, showing you exactly what a buyer would get.
Step three: buyers license that copy
AI labs license the approved copy to train and test their models. The license applies to the copy and nothing more. It does not give anyone access to your systems, your original files or your business, and you keep working in your records exactly as before. The license goes through License Your Data, and you see the terms before you sign.
What is shared, and what never is
Shared, once you approve
- A de-identified copy of the records you put in scope
- Names and identifiers swapped for placeholders
- Only the systems, years and folders you agreed to
- Only once a sample has your approval
What is never shared
- Your original files and your live systems
- Any password, login or account access
- Any excluded system, folder, client or matter
- Customer, patient and client personal information
What you pay
Nothing at all. There is no cost to request an estimate, no cost for the call, and no cost to you at any step. Nothing goes out without your approval, and you can stop before signing if it is not a good fit.
