A SIMPLE PROCESS

Start with a conversation.

AI labs use real-world work to teach models more general skills: how to reason through a problem, follow a process, or troubleshoot a failure.

  1. 01

    Tell us what you have

    Share the tools you use, the types of records you keep, and a few details about your business.

  2. 02

    We look for a fit

    We review your introduction against what data buyers are looking for and follow up if there’s a potential match.

  3. 03

    You decide what comes next

    The scope, permissions, redaction process, and licensing terms are agreed before proceeding.

PRIVACY & CONTROL

How redaction works.

The data partner handles redaction and de-identification before delivering a prepared dataset to an AI lab. Approved source records may first be transferred to that partner for processing.

SIMPLIFIED EXAMPLE

Original
Alex Morgan emailed Cedar HVAC about a delayed repair.
Transformed
Person A emailed Company B about a delayed repair.
  1. 01

    Set the boundaries

    Agree which records are included, what must be excluded, and who may access the source data.

  2. 02

    Remove or replace identifying details

    Names, emails, phone numbers, and other identifiers are removed or transformed as agreed. Consistent fictional identities can preserve links between related conversations and documents.

  3. 03

    Check the prepared data

    Checks look for remaining sensitive details and lost context. Sample review, permitted uses, and retention are covered by the partner agreement.

The exact treatment and review process depend on the dataset and partner agreement.

A FEW QUESTIONS

Before you begin.

What makes business records useful?

Records that show how real work gets done can be useful: a support ticket and its resolution, an inspection and the repair that followed, or a discussion leading to a decision. Fit depends on the content, volume, quality, and rights associated with the records.

Do I have to upload or connect anything?

No. This form only asks for a general description and contact information. We don’t ask you to connect a software account or upload company records.

What about privacy and confidentiality?

The data partner removes or transforms identifying information before downstream use. Scope, permissions, access, review, and retention are agreed for each partnership. This form only collects an introduction; it does not upload company records.

How much could a partnership be worth?

There isn’t a fixed price. It depends on buyer interest, the type and amount of data, its usefulness, and the rights available. Completing this form doesn’t guarantee an offer.
