Your data could be worth $100K to $5M

No. You retain ownership of your original records. The opportunity is to license an agreed copy for a defined period and purpose, not to sell your company or hand over ownership of its data. You review and approve the scope, permitted uses and commercial terms before signing.

Labs are interested in operational trajectory data: the sequence of steps people take across software systems to get work done. Think of a support request moving from an email to a ticket, through an approval, and finally to a resolution. The value is in the workflow, decisions and outcome, not the real identity of the people or company involved.

No. DataSupply does not receive, store or transfer your underlying operational records. We work with metadata, meaning information about your data, such as the systems you use, the record types available and the period they cover. We use that information to prepare your data manifest and help labs assess fit and potential value. The data itself goes directly from your company to the lab you choose, under the signed agreement.

A manifest is a structured description of the records your company could make available. It describes sources, record types, history, approximate volume and how those records connect into workflows, without including the underlying records themselves. It helps prospective labs understand the opportunity and prepare an offer. Completing a manifest is not permission to access or train on your data.

Identifying details are de-identified before model training through redaction, transformation or a combination of both. Redaction removes a detail. Transformation replaces it with a fictional value while preserving the useful workflow. For example, “Anna emailed Bob about Acme Corp” could become “John emailed Sam about ABC Company.” Real names, company names, email addresses and phone numbers are not intended to appear in the training copy. The signed agreement must specify the safeguards, responsibilities and checks for your records.

Either approach can be used, depending on the agreed process. A real email or phone number may be redacted, or replaced with a made-up value that preserves the structure of the record. The example above shows transformation: Jordan Lee becomes Sam Whitman, with a fictional email address and phone number. The workflow, issue and resolution remain useful without retaining the original contact details.

For a 90-day license, the signed agreement must define when the period starts, how the lab may use the supplied copy and when that copy must be destroyed. Labs may no longer need the source records after completing the agreed training, but deletion is a contractual obligation to confirm, not an automatic technical guarantee. Your original records stay yours. Deleting the supplied copy does not erase learning from a model already trained on it; review those continuing-use terms before signing.

No. This is a private licensing arrangement with the lab you approve, not a public release of your records. The signed agreement should define confidentiality, permitted access and use, and any restrictions on onward sharing. Review those protections with your own legal counsel before agreeing to a deal.

Absolutely. You choose the systems, date ranges, record types and workflows you are willing to include. You can exclude records or categories that should not be part of the opportunity. Nothing is supplied until you approve the scope and sign the relevant agreement. Preparing a manifest does not grant a lab access to your systems.

No changes to your day-to-day operations are needed to explore the opportunity. The starting point is the operating history your team has already built in its existing software. Your team may need to help describe the available records and, if you accept a deal, coordinate the agreed preparation and direct transfer to the lab. DataSupply prepares the manifest only; the data itself never passes through DataSupply.

Nothing up front. DataSupply charges a success fee only when a deal closes and after you get paid. The applicable agreement sets out the fee and payment terms before you commit. Exploring fit or preparing company information does not guarantee an offer, a completed deal or payment.

A typical end-to-end process takes around 4 to 6 weeks. Once a suitable manifest is complete, the target is to receive offers within 7 days. The actual timeline depends on buyer interest, the completeness of the manifest, your review and negotiation, and the agreed preparation requirements. Offers, timing, deal completion and payment are not guaranteed.

The starting profile is a company with at least 35 local desk-based employees, at least 3 years of operating history and records across 5 or more data sources. Teams working across several software tools each day can have valuable connected workflows, not just isolated documents. These criteria are a starting point for review, not a guarantee of eligibility or payment. Each lab decides whether the available records meet its current needs.
