How it works
Three steps after the form
It begins with the estimate form. Minutes later, License Your Data calls you to schedule a 15-minute call.
- 1
A 15-minute call
The call is under NDA and covers your systems and what you want kept out. No files change hands and no passwords.
- 2
De-identification
Names and identifiers are replaced in a copy made by License Your Data. You see and approve a sample before anything else.
- 3
Buyers take a license
AI labs license that approved copy. Your originals never leave your systems.
Who this is for
The timing
Most public text is already in today's models. Your email is not.
Current models were built on what anyone can read online, like sites, books and forums. That supply is now largely spent.
The public record says almost nothing about how a business actually operates. How a team builds an estimate for a client. The calls and emails when a delivery slips. How a support ticket moves from open to resolved.
You already have these records in email, file drives and your tools. To train and test models on real work, labs license these records. Established companies have years on file.
Answer three questions and see an indicative range.
Begin my estimateWhat counts
The records already in your systems
If your business runs on software, it has been writing down how work gets done for years. Records from these systems count.
Inboxes in Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace holding years of customer, vendor and team threads.
Documents and drives
Reports, templates, procedures and proposals stored in Dropbox, Google Drive or SharePoint.
Team chat
Slack or Teams conversations where the daily problems get solved.
CRM
Deal stages, call notes and account history in tools such as Salesforce or HubSpot.
Support tickets
Requests, replies and resolutions from your help desk or service inbox.
Project tools
Project boards and task updates from tools like Monday, Jira or Asana.
Finance and ERP
Orders, purchasing, inventory and invoice workflows from your ERP or accounting system.
Code
For teams that write software: repositories, pull requests and code review notes.
The estimate
How your range is worked out
Employee count decides where the range begins. Years in business move it: under 3 years lowers it, more than 10 years raises it. We ask your industry to match you, but it never moves the range.
See my own range| Employees | Indicative range |
|---|---|
| Under 20 | $100K to $250K |
| 20–49 | $100K to $500K |
| 50–99 | $250K to $900K |
| 100–249 | $500K to $2M |
| 250+ | $1M to $4M |

What you control, in four parts
Which tools
Email only, or email plus your CRM and drives. Your call.
Which years
Choose which date ranges are included and exclude the others.
Teams in scope
You pick which mailboxes and departments are included.
If it goes ahead
There is no obligation in an estimate, and you can stop at any point.
Data handling
What stays out
The license covers what you pick to share and nothing beyond it.
- Sensitive data comes out. It is excluded or de-identified before sharing.
- No client or patient records. In regulated businesses, you and your counsel set the scope.
- You hold the switch. No record is shared until the scope has your approval.
- Originals never leave. License Your Data prepares a de-identified copy, and no passwords are ever asked for.
We are a law, accounting or healthcare firm. Can we take part?
You and your counsel decide scope with us, and client or patient data stays out. We do not offer legal advice.
How is sensitive data handled?
Before anything is shared, it is excluded or de-identified.
Is there anything to upload?
No. It takes three questions plus your contact details. Not one record moves without an approved scope.
Does a smaller team still count?
The bar is 20 or more employees and 3 or more years in business. Request one regardless, and we will get in touch should a fit come up.
Do I have to share everything?
No. Every system and every date range needs your approval to be in scope.
Is there a charge for the estimate?
No. Requesting an estimate is free and creates no obligation.
What decides my range?
Your number of employees and your years in business set it. Your type of business guides matching only. Indicative estimate based on your answers. Not an offer or guarantee.
Who will call me?
A licensing partner specialist rings within minutes and sets up a 15-minute call about the systems you use.
