What we license
Everyday records from the software you already use
From email and files to chat and tickets, every system is a separate yes or no. Even one can be enough.

Why routine records count
To train and test models, AI labs license genuine business records. Writing is what public text teaches. Records from a business show work itself: the asks between people, the checks, the order of steps and how each problem resolves.
So the plain, untidy, day to day records are exactly what matters. Labs rarely see in public what one thread can hold: a complaint from a customer, a colleague looking into the order, then a manager signing off on a credit.
What strengthens a set of records
- More history. Of the two answers that change your estimate, years in business is one.
- More people. The second is team size. When many people share the same systems, the trail gets richer.
- Continuity. Years of records kept in one system instead of scattered or deleted.
- Variety. A few linked systems, for example email with a CRM and a help desk.
Records you may exclude
All of it is optional. Scoping lets you exclude a department, mailbox, date range, shared drive or full system. Before anything is shared, sensitive data within your included records is excluded or de-identified.
For law, accounting and healthcare practices, client and patient records stay out, and scope is decided with you and your counsel.
No idea what counts?
Most owners are not, and that is fine. No inventory is needed to begin. There are only three questions in the estimate. After that, a specialist from License Your Data calls within minutes to book a 15-minute call, under NDA, where your systems get mapped. No password or file is requested, and what enters the de-identified copy is your decision afterwards.
