Five plain-English guides to licensing company records to AI buyers: how a license works, what you have the right to license, the red flags to run against anyone who approaches you, how de-identification actually works, and what moves the number. Read them in order or jump to the one you need.
What a data license is and is not, who buys, what they pay for, how a deal moves from manifest to signature, and what you keep when it closes.
Access is not permission. The ownership, contract, personal-data, regulatory, and platform questions to settle before records go in a manifest.
Nine warning signs in a data-licensing approach, why each one matters, how we score against our own list, and what to do if you see one.
The three operations behind de-identification, a worked example, why consistency is the hard part, what the process cannot do, and what to put in the contract.
There is no price list. Six factors that move an offer, what does not move it much, and how to find out where your records land before anyone names a number.
Seven questions. No dataset. First offer in 24 to 48 hours of a complete manifest.
Measured from a complete data manifest. A first offer is a process target, not a guarantee; buyers decide eligibility, price, and terms.
