Business records.
A licence-ready asset.

Data readiness means turning eligible records into a usable, documented asset: checked rights and provenance, privacy safeguards, cleaned and structured content, quality checks and defined permitted uses. A raw export is not a licence-ready package. Readiness supports licensing discussions; it does not guarantee demand or revenue.

No. Exports may contain personal information, duplicates, inconsistent formats, confidential material or records with restricted rights. They are source material. Preparation turns eligible content into a defined, checked and documented dataset.

The agreed scope defines the prepared dataset and format, its structure and field descriptions, source and preparation history, quality findings, exclusions and limitations, and proposed permitted uses and licence terms. Deliverables are agreed for your dataset before work begins.

No. We select eligible records and exclude material that cannot be lawfully prepared or licensed, is too sensitive, or does not meet the agreed quality requirements. The scope and exclusions are documented rather than assuming every record has commercial value.

We check the lawful basis for processing, confidentiality and third-party restrictions before preparation. Personal and sensitive material is removed from the proposed asset, and re-identification risks are assessed. Removing names alone is not enough. Only properly anonymised data falls outside GDPR; processing before that point still needs a lawful basis.

Provenance records where the data came from and how it was prepared. Permitted uses explain what you are entitled to license, subject to ownership, contracts and third-party restrictions. Both help a buyer understand what it can rely on and what it may do.

No. It means the agreed preparation work is complete and the package can support licensing discussions within its documented limits. Buyer demand and signed commercial terms are still required. There is no guaranteed buyer, sale or monthly revenue.

Yes. Preparation is a standalone service. You retain your original records and can use the prepared package independently within its documented rights. Commercialisation is not included or compulsory.

Only data we have prepared and packaged ourselves is eligible for our licensing and distribution service. We need to know its contents, quality, provenance and permitted uses before representing it to buyers. An externally prepared package cannot go straight into that service; we must first complete our own preparation.

Commercialisation is optional and agreed separately. We take the prepared dataset to market, identify potential licensees and manage the process for a proposed commission of 20% to 30% of licensing revenue. The rate, its basis and payment timing are agreed in writing before work starts.

The Data Asset Assessment is a one-off $5,000 engagement. Data packaging is project-based from $15,000 and priced from what the assessment finds. Maintenance and refreshes are optional and priced separately; licensing and distribution is a separate commission-based service.

Anonymisation and cleaning typically take one to three weeks, with assessment, rights checks, packaging and approvals scoped around your dataset. The typical preparation plus optional buyer process is about 60 days overall, not a promise of a completed licence.

Use the contact form to tell us which systems and records you hold. No exports, uploads or live-system access are needed for the initial enquiry. We agree the scope, deliverables and fee before work starts, then handle the work offline with our partners.
