THE SELLER
Your business
An operating company may hold project histories, service logs, decisions and outcomes that a buyer can use. The seller defines what it will consider sharing and approves any agreement.
THE MARKET
Your operating history. A potential licensed asset.
AI developers may license records of real work to train or evaluate systems. The opportunity depends on a useful history, workable rights and current buyer interest.
THE BUYER
AI developers
AI teams may seek histories that show how experienced people solve problems, use tools and handle exceptions. Each buyer has its own requirements, evaluation process and permitted uses.
THE INTERMEDIARY
Data partners
Some companies license records from businesses, prepare them and provide usable datasets to AI developers. Others advise on transactions. Preparation, payment and contractual roles must be confirmed for each offer.
What is being licensed?
A defined set of records and agreed rights to use them. The arrangement may cover training, evaluation or another specified use. It is not a sale of your company or access to everything in its systems.
Licensing can preserve ownership of the underlying records while granting agreed usage rights. Scope, exclusivity, duration, further sharing and future deliveries belong in the agreement. Your counsel reviews what those rights mean.
From history to an offer.
Assess the opportunity
Describe the history, connected workflows and possible rights questions. Identify preparation requirements before committing resources.
Test buyer interest
Approach approved buyers with a scoped description. A relevant archive does not guarantee an offer.
Compare the whole deal
Review payment, success fees, preparation costs, workload, usage rights and execution conditions.
Agree and deliver
The seller approves the agreement. Preparation and delivery follow defined responsibilities, safeguards and acceptance terms.
