For AI labs & buyers

Single-company operational data, with provenance and rights settled before you see a sample.

Data Truffle represents established companies licensing their operational records. We are seller-side and paid by the seller, so what you get from us is not a lead list. It is a manifest that has already been scored, priced against current demand, and cleared on rights, from a company that has decided to license.

We do not name buyers on this site. We name you to the seller, before any sample moves.

Who buys

Four kinds of buyer, with four different gaps.

Described by category because that is what matters to a seller. The names stay between you and the company you are buying from.

01

Frontier labs

Training general-purpose foundation models. Buy direct and through data labs. The most demanding on provenance and rights, and the most interested in breadth across industries.

02

Data labs

Building training and evaluation sets under contract to several labs at once. Frequent buyers; often the first to be short on a specific modality or sector.

03

Model builders

Fine-tuning for a vertical: accounting agents, support automation, legal drafting. Precise about industry and workflow; willing to pay for exclusivity in their field.

04

Enterprise AI teams

Building internal agents at large companies, often from adjacent industries or suppliers. Newer to licensing; strict on contract terms because their own counsel is.

What you evaluate

Seven things a manifest from us answers before you ask.

Every manifest is scored on the same seven dimensions. The anonymized profile you receive shows the scores and the reasoning, so the first conversation is about fit, not discovery.

01

Provenance

Which company, which systems, which years, produced by whom in the course of what work. Provenance decides whether the set is real and representative before anything else is looked at.

02

Rights

Can the seller license it? Employee and customer notices, client confidentiality, software terms. Rights are checked on the manifest, confirmed in diligence, and warranted in the license.

03

History

Years of the same workflow, with continuity. Eight years of one support desk beats two years each of four different tools.

04

Workflow density

How much of the real work left a trace: tickets, approvals, handoffs, call logs. Dense sets show the whole trajectory, not just the finished document.

05

Outcome labels

Resolved or escalated, won or lost, paid or disputed. Outcome-labelled records train and evaluate judgment, not just language.

06

Volume

Counts per record type, with the distribution over time. Enough to matter, not so much that quality is unknowable.

07

Modality

Text, structured fields, audio, video, code. Most buyers are long on text and short on calls with outcomes and chat where problems get solved live.

What you do not get

Raw data, ever, from us. A sample moves from the seller to you under a mutual NDA once the seller approves your identity and intended use. Licensed records move from the seller's systems to yours after signing. We never hold a copy.

Our vetting standard

Five things every buyer accepts before seeing a manifest.

Sellers are told exactly this list, and told that you accepted it. It is the reason they are willing to license at all. A buyer who cannot accept it is not a buyer we can represent a seller to.

  1. A named, verifiable legal entity. The seller sees who you are before any sample moves. We confirm the entity independently.
  2. Contract-bound de-identification. A named method, a named verifier, applied before training. Not "industry standard practice."
  3. Deletion on schedule, certified. The supplied copy is destroyed at the end of the license term, usually 90 days, with a signed certificate.
  4. No resale, no re-licensing. The records stop with you. Field-of-use limits are written into the license and an audit right backs them.
  5. Reference-able. You are willing to be named, with your permission on each occasion, to a future seller asking whether a buyer we introduced behaved.
How access works

Demand first, then manifests, then the seller decides.

  1. 01

    Register your demand

    The form below: what you are training or evaluating, which industries and modalities you are short on, the volumes and years that matter, your appetite for exclusivity, and your timeline. We confirm the entity and the vetting standard, then add your demand to the signals we price against.

  2. 02

    Receive anonymized manifests that fit

    When a seller's manifest matches your demand, you receive the anonymized profile and scores: industry, size, years, systems, record types, volumes, how the systems link. No company name yet. You confirm or decline the indicative range.

  3. 03

    NDA, sample, diligence

    The seller approves your identity and intended use. You sign a mutual NDA with the seller, receive a de-identified sample they chose, and run diligence. Same information and the same deadline as every other shortlisted buyer.

  4. 04

    Terms, signing, direct transfer

    You submit binding terms. The seller compares offers on price and the six terms, chooses, and signs with you directly after counsel review. Records transfer from the seller's systems to yours. Our fee comes from the seller; you pay us nothing.

Register your demand

Tell us what you are short on.

Specific beats broad. "Eight-plus years of resolved support tickets with call recordings, from US professional-services firms" gets matched; "operational data" does not.

We reply within two business days with a short call to confirm the entity and walk through the standard. Nothing you enter here is shared with a seller until a manifest matches and you have accepted the five terms.

Record types you are short on

By submitting you agree to our privacy policy. We will contact you about this inquiry only.

We hunt. You get paid.

Seven questions. A one-page manifest. A first offer from vetted buyers in 24 to 48 hours.

Measured from a complete data manifest. A first offer is a process target, not a guarantee; buyers decide eligibility, price, and terms.
