Bring an offer to the table.
We present your opportunity to AI labs and work to secure a licensing offer.
How it works
We sit on your side of the table.
AI labs negotiate data deals all the time. You probably never have. Here’s exactly how we take your records from a first conversation to a signed license, with you in control at every step.
What you can count on
- You approve every term
- Rights and privacy reviewed before anything is shared
- No files or logins to start
- One point of contact from first call to payment
- You pay nothing unless a license is signed
01 Our role
Three jobs, all on your behalf.
We represent the business, not the buyer. That shapes everything we do.
Work for the best available rate.
We compare available offers and negotiate price and terms on your behalf.
Manage the process for you.
We coordinate reviews, communication and next steps with the labs, so you have one point of contact.
You approve the terms. Rights and privacy are reviewed before any records are shared.
02 The process
From first conversation to signed license.
Four steps. Here’s what each one asks of you, and what we handle.
- 01
Start with a conversation
Tell us about your business, the systems you use and how far back your records go.
- What you do
- A short call. Tell us what your team does, which systems hold your records and roughly how far back they go.
- What we do
- Give you a read on fit and an indicative value range.
- 02
Agree on what’s in scope
Together we decide what’s included and what stays out. Rights and privacy are reviewed before anything is shared.
- What you do
- Decide which systems, date ranges and folders to consider, and anything you want left out.
- What we do
- Review rights and privacy, flag anything that limits what can be licensed and put the proposed scope in writing.
- 03
Bring offers to the table
We present your opportunity to AI labs, compare the offers and negotiate price and terms.
- What you do
- Nothing, until there’s something worth your time.
- What we do
- Approach buyers, answer their questions, compare offers side by side and negotiate price, permitted uses and retention.
- 04
Approve and get paid
Nothing moves until you sign. Records are prepared and delivered under the terms you agreed.
- What you do
- Review the final terms with us (and your counsel, if you like) and decide. You can walk away before you sign.
- What we do
- Coordinate preparation and delivery under the agreed scope, and stay your point of contact through payment.
03 The license
Everything that matters is in writing.
A license is permission to use selected records for defined purposes. Before you sign, it spells out:
Scope
Exactly which systems, date ranges and record types are included, and everything that is excluded.
Permitted uses
What the buyer may do with the records, such as training or testing AI systems, and what they may not.
Retention and deletion
How long the buyer may keep the records and what happens to them when the term ends.
Payment
How much you are paid, and when. Our success fee comes out of a signed, paid license, never before.
Confidentiality and security
How the records are handled, stored and protected, and who may access them.
Your approvals
The decisions that stay with you: final scope, the offer you accept and the signature on the license.

04 Our commitments
What we won’t do.
Trust is earned in the details. These are lines we don’t cross.
- Share anything before you have signed a license
- Share any records before rights and privacy are reviewed
- Charge you anything unless a license is signed
- Ask for logins or files to get started
- Push a deal you are not comfortable with. You can walk away before you sign
Do I need to send files or give anyone access to get started?
No. A conversation is all it takes to start. We ask about your business, the systems you use and how far back your records go. Nothing is shared until there is an agreement you have approved.
How much of my time will this take?
Less than you might think. After the first conversation we coordinate reviews, communication and next steps with the labs, and bring you in for the decisions that matter: scope, offers and signing.
Will you need access to our systems?
Not to start. Any access or export needed to prepare records is defined in the agreement you approve, limited to the agreed scope and set up with you. Nothing is collected before then.
Can I change my mind?
Yes. You can stop at any point before you sign a license. Until then, nothing has been shared.
What does it cost?
Nothing up front. We are paid a success fee, a percentage of the license value, only if a license is signed. There are no retainers or hourly fees, and the first conversation and estimate are free with no obligation.
Is a deal guaranteed?
No. Buyer interest depends on demand, quality and rights, and value is never guaranteed. A first conversation is the quickest way to learn whether your records are likely to attract an offer.
