Data valuation
How much is your company's data worth?
Five questions give you an estimated range for licensing your records to AI labs. No access to your systems, and we confirm the number on a call.

What drives value
Six things that move the number
01
What the records show
Decisions and their outcomes are worth more than static lists. An invoice that was paid late and chased twice says more than an invoice.
02
Which systems
Lab notebooks, process data, claims files and contracts start higher in our model than a CRM, because labs find them harder to get.
03
Years of history
Longer histories show change over time. Our model gives more weight to each added year, with diminishing returns.
04
How many people create records
Bigger teams produce more records, so the estimate rises with team size, and so do monthly refresh batches.
05
Your rights
Data you can't clearly license is worth little to a lab. The estimate drops by 30% when you're not sure and by 70% when customer contracts restrict it.
06
Exclusivity and refresh
Exclusive licenses cost buyers more, and a refresh term adds a payment for every new month of records.
Public price signals
What buyers have paid in public deals
These are the clearest published numbers. Most company data deals are private, so use them as a sign of demand rather than a price for your records.
