15-minute call
Your tools, years of history and what to keep out, discussed under NDA. No passwords and no files.

- 03
The license
Buyers license that copy. Your originals never leave your systems.
The data
Software you already use every day
Nothing has to be created. Teams that have run on business software for a few years already hold the records.
- EmailMicrosoft 365 or Google Workspace mail, built up over years.
- Files and drivesSpreadsheets, quotes and procedures saved to team drives.
- ChatTeams or Slack conversations where questions get answered and calls get made.
- CRMPipeline history, follow ups and account notes.
- Help deskTickets from first report to final fix.
- Project toolsStatus changes and tasks across live projects.
- ERP and financeWorkflows from purchase order to invoice.
- CodeCode history and reviews, if you build software.
The reason labs ask
Public writing taught models language. Company records teach them real work.
The open web is largely used
Books, forums and websites are largely in current models already.
Operations are not public
A dispatcher moving a load or a project manager running a change order is almost never written up publicly.
Labs license what is missing
AI labs license real business records to train and test models, with the owner deciding what is shared.
Team size and range
Each team size has its own starting band
Your years in business adjust the band. Fewer than 3 lowers it and more than 10 raises it. Sector plays no part in it.
Starting band, 20–49 employees
$100K to $500K

Common questions
Quick answers
- How do you handle sensitive data?
- It is removed or de-identified ahead of any sharing.
- We operate in law, accounting or healthcare.
- You and your counsel decide scope with us, and client or patient data stays out. We do not offer legal advice.
- Do we give up our records?
- No. Your records remain with you, and your staff keep working in them.
- We have fewer than 20 people.
- You can still ask. The bar today is 20+ employees and 3+ years, and we will be in touch if a fit comes up.
- Who reaches out after the form?
- A specialist from our licensing partner calls within minutes to book a 15-minute call.
- What drives the estimate?
- It begins with team size, adjusted for years in business. Sector is not part of it.
- Must I include every system?
- No. You choose each system and date range, and anything can stay out.
- What does the estimate cost?
- No. It is free, and asking for one creates no obligation.
