The opportunity
The value may sit in how your team solved the problem, not only the final document.
AI developers need detailed examples of real work. Established businesses already hold years of them. A licence lets a buyer use selected records under terms you control, and pays you for it.
Licensing in plain terms
You keep the records. A buyer pays to use them.
A licence is a contract. It names the records included, what the buyer may use them for, how long, and what they pay. It does not transfer ownership of your records or your business, and it does not give anyone access to your systems.
Records are prepared before anything changes hands. Customer names, contact details and other sensitive information can be removed or kept out of scope entirely.
Why operating records
Real decisions, made by experienced people.
Most of what AI systems learn from is public text. What they lack is the working record of a trade: the technician's notes on why the first fix failed, the inside-sales rep's reason for a substitute part, the billing clerk's case for disputing a charge.
Your business has produced that record every working day for years, as a by-product of serving customers.
What affects an assessment
Sector and file count alone do not decide value.
How complete the history is
Records that connect a request, the work and the result carry more context than isolated documents.
How much there is, and how far back
Years of consistent records in one system are easier to assess and prepare than scattered files.
What can be shared
Customer details, pricing and anything sensitive can be removed or kept out of scope. The scope you approve shapes what a buyer can use.
Whether a buyer needs it
Value depends on a buyer's current needs. Our licensing partner assesses that fit before anyone discusses terms.
Questions about value
What owners ask about the money
What are our records worth?
We cannot say before an assessment, and we will not quote a number on the first call. Value depends on what the records contain, how much can be shared and what buyers need at the time. If the assessment points to a real opportunity, you will see proposed terms before anything is agreed.
What would a buyer be allowed to do with them?
Only what the licence permits. A licence states the records included, the permitted use, how long it lasts and any restrictions. You review and approve those terms.
Can the same records be licensed more than once?
Sometimes. It depends on whether a licence is exclusive and on what each buyer needs. We confirm this with our licensing partner for your specific records.
Why would an AI developer want our records?
AI systems learn from examples. Detailed records of how skilled people handled real problems, such as a diagnosis that led to a repair, show reasoning that general text from the internet lacks. Developers use this kind of material to train and test their systems.
Ask whether your records are worth assessing.
A short conversation is enough to tell whether there is something worth passing to a specialist.
