Data Advisory for operating businesses

Explore licensing revenue from the records your business already holds.

Distributors, carriers, manufacturers and field-service firms keep years of records showing how real work gets done. Some AI developers pay to license that kind of history. We help you find out whether yours qualifies, and we represent you through the process if you decide to go ahead.

  • You keep the business and the records
  • You approve what's included, or nothing happens
  • Specialists handle security, legal work and buyers

What buyers look for

A finished invoice shows the result. The history shows how your team got there.

The useful part is the full episode: the request, the work, the decisions along the way and how it ended. Here's what that looks like in three kinds of business.

Industrial distribution

An order exception, resolved

  1. RequestCustomer reports 40 units short on a pallet of fittings.
  2. WorkInside sales checks the pick ticket, carrier POD and bin count.
  3. DecisionShort-ship confirmed. Credit memo or reship? Customer picks reship.
  4. OutcomeReplacement ships next day. Credit note closed, root cause logged.

Logistics

A freight bill, explained

  1. RequestShipper disputes an invoice that came in $612 over quote.
  2. WorkBilling pulls the rate confirmation, BOL and reweigh certificate.
  3. DecisionReweigh stands, but the liftgate charge was never ordered.
  4. OutcomePartial credit issued with a written explanation to the shipper.

Field service

A fault, diagnosed and repaired

  1. RequestRooftop unit at a client site trips on high pressure.
  2. WorkTech records readings, replaces a fan motor. Fault returns.
  3. DecisionSecond visit traces it to a failing pressure switch.
  4. OutcomeSwitch replaced, unit runs clean, asset history updated.

Illustrative examples. Sector and file count alone don't establish value, and our partner confirms what its buyers need before anything is assessed.

What a license is

Permission to use a defined set of material, on terms you agree.

A license spells out the material included, what the buyer may use it for, for how long, and what they pay. Your company stays yours. So do the underlying records, and your systems keep running as they do today.

Whether it's worth doing depends on the terms, the preparation involved and anything you'd want left out. You see all of that before you decide.

How it works

It starts with a conversation about your business.

  1. 1

    Assessment conversation

    About 30 minutes. Your goals, your systems, how far back the history goes, who decides.

  2. 2

    Partner review

    We brief our fulfilment partner. They decide whether the records merit a detailed assessment.

  3. 3

    Scope and terms

    If it goes ahead, you see the proposed material, permitted use and commercial terms.

  4. 4

    Your decision

    You approve the scope and the transaction, or you walk away.
