How it works
- Check the fit. Seven questions on size, status, industry and systems. You see which buyers match their published rules.
- Apply to the buyer. Your company applies on the buyer's own site. The buyer scopes the data and makes an offer.
- License a de-identified copy. The buyer removes personal data, reviews the package and pays. You keep ownership.

Common questions
What does it mean to license company data to AI developers?
Your company grants an AI developer the right to use a de-identified copy of its business records, such as email, chat, documents, tickets and CRM history, to train and test AI models. You keep ownership. The developer pays for the licence once it has received and accepted the data.
Why do AI developers want ordinary business records?
AI models are being trained to do real office work: answer customers, run projects, close the books. Records of how a real company did that work, over years, show the steps that finished documents leave out. Buyers describe this as operational or workflow data.
Which companies qualify?
Published minimums start at 10 employees for law firms and 15 for accounting, medical and finance firms (Mode); for other companies at 20 full-time US employees and three years in business (Nyne), 30 full-time employees (micro1) and 50 (Mode). Buyers also want several years of records in business systems and data mainly in English. Our eligibility check compares your answers with each buyer's published rules.
