The opportunity
Your records capture
how work gets done.
Every completed job leaves a record of what your team knows: the questions asked, the decisions made and the result. AI labs and companies building specialist tools use examples like these to train and test their models.
Data monetization means preparing suitable records and licensing them for payment. We help you assess what you hold, research potential buyers and work through a possible licence.

Commercial terms and design excluded
The goal is to remove personally identifiable information (PII), such as names and contact details, while keeping useful connections between records. Consistent stand-ins, such as Person-A, let a request and its related work stay linked without displaying the original name. Other details can still identify someone, so replacing names alone does not make a dataset anonymous or safe to share.
Rights and consent
Check ownership, contracts and permissions for the proposed use.
Commercial confidentiality
Set boundaries around client work, pricing, credentials and confidential methods.

A few things to know
before we talk.
Could our records have value?
Potential value depends on buyer demand, quality, context and the rights to use the records. An assessment may find no suitable opportunity; a licence or payment is not guaranteed.
Is this only for businesses that are closing?
No. Active businesses can explore licensing a selected copy of suitable records.
Do we keep our records and ownership?
The proposed licence defines what copy is shared and how it can be used. Ownership, exclusivity and duration are agreed in the contract.
How is data brokerage paid for?
Our intended brokerage model is compensation from the acquiring buyer, broker or referral partner, disclosed before an introduction. Any preparation or specialist fees are agreed separately.
Can Canadian businesses take part?
Eligibility varies by buyer and program. We check geographic requirements when assessing a possible route.
Do we need to send records now?
No. Start with a description of your business, systems and record history. We agree any later access or sample review with you.
