What if I'm not sure how much data my company actually has?

Most owners aren't, going in. That's what the first call is for -- we ask about the systems you use and roughly how long you've used them, and get to a rough estimate together. You don't need an exact figure to start the conversation.

Does my industry have to match the list exactly?

It's a real guide, not a strict filter -- the underlying question is whether your business generates the kind of operational record (communications, transactions, day-to-day decisions) that these industries typically produce. If you're unsure, the short call answers it faster than guessing.

What if my company has fewer than 20 employees?

The 20-or-more figure reflects roughly how much operating history and data volume tends to exist at that size, not a hard cutoff. If you have an unusually data-rich operation at a smaller headcount, it's still worth a conversation.

Why is software specifically excluded?

AI labs already have extensive software and code data. What's scarce, and what makes this category valuable, is a record of how a non-software business actually operates day to day -- the communications, decisions, and operating records that don't exist anywhere on the open web.

What about healthcare or legal businesses?

Those two aren't included yet. The compliance work around protected health information and privileged communications isn't finished on our end, so we're not taking on either vertical right now. That could change -- reach out and we'll tell you honestly where things stand.

What if I don't qualify today?

Then we'll tell you that directly on the call, not string you along. Criteria like company age and data volume change -- there's no penalty in checking back later if your business grows into it.

Data licensing eligibility

Does your business qualify to license its data to AI labs?

Not every business is a fit, and there is no upside in finding that out after a long conversation. Here is the real gating criteria, so you can check in two minutes before anything else.

The real criteria

What we actually check for, not a wishlist.

Your company has roughly 20 or more employees.
You have on the order of 200GB or more of internal data across Slack or Teams, email, your CRM, shared drives, and operating records like orders or dispatch logs.
The business itself has been operating for 3 years or more.
You are in manufacturing, freight or 3PL, accounting, finance, insurance, distribution, construction, professional services, or retail.
You are not a software company. AI labs already have plenty of software; what is scarce is a record of how a real operating business runs.

If most of that fits

Three steps before anything is shared.

Tell us where you land
A short call on headcount, roughly how much data you have, and what industry you're in. Nothing technical required, and no data changes hands yet.
We check it against live buyer interest
We compare what you described to what the AI labs and model developers we work with are actually looking for right now, before anyone prepares anything.
If it's a fit, you see the full offer
We walk you through exactly how a deal works: the snapshot, the de-identified sample, the bid, and the approval step, before anything moves.

This category is real

Two closed deals, so you are not taking our word for it.

Two real, closed deals

Both brokered independently, not by Nova Solutions. Shown here because proof this specific is rare, and these are real.
