Stomps Request a data assessment

Turn your company's operational data into new revenue.

The work orders, project records and internal documents your company already keeps capture years of practical expertise. Stomps helps you explore whether those records could be licensed for AI development, starting with a preliminary review and, where there is a potential fit, an introduction to a data partner.

Free initial assessment. No files or system access required.

Start with the records your business already keeps.

From documented processes to completed work, your records show how your business operates. Examples include:

  • Project and service histories

    Work orders and project files connecting requests or problems with expert notes, revisions and final results.

  • Procedures and internal knowledge

    Documented workflows, operating procedures, playbooks, training guides and knowledge bases used by your team.

  • Technical documentation

    Specifications, drawings, product documentation and technical references that explain how your products or services work.

  • Business communications

    Support tickets, customer exchanges, internal discussions and handover notes that document questions, responses and resolutions.

  • Operations and quality records

    Dispatch records, delivery exceptions, inspection reports and quality checks, including revised plans and follow-up results.

  • Sales and purchasing records

    Proposals, quote revisions, sales opportunity notes and purchasing histories that capture requirements, discussions and agreed terms.

These records may already be in your business systems, project folders, knowledge bases, shared drives or email.

We welcome enquiries from businesses across industries, including those with other kinds of operational records.

Request a data assessment

Protecting your business information.

The initial review starts with a description of your records. Any later request for samples or data involves a separate discussion about permissions, sensitive information and handling.

Selected records
A licensing opportunity concerns an agreed set of records. The discussion identifies what could be included, what needs to be excluded and whether those boundaries meet the partner’s requirements.
Preparation managed by the data partner
The data partner manages the detailed review and any required de-identification or redaction. Your team helps identify relevant records, confirm permissions and arrange agreed access or exports. The partner explains the preparation process and what support it needs from your business.
Use and access
Before sharing samples or records, the arrangement needs to specify who can access them, what they can be used for and how they will be handled.

A fictional HVAC service note

Customer
Sam Taylor, 42 Example Road
Technician
Robin Lee

Shaded rows hold direct identifiers, addressed in preparation.

Reported problem
Furnace stopped before the building reached the set temperature.
Checks and finding
Technician checked thermostat settings and airflow; found a severely clogged filter and an overheating shutdown.
Decision
Restore airflow and retest before considering replacement of control components.
Result
Heating reached the set temperature; follow-up confirmed the shutdown had not recurred.

This fictional example shows the removal of direct identifiers while preserving the problem, the technician’s reasoning and the result.

Removing names and addresses alone does not make a record anonymous. Actual records also need review for other identifying details, confidential information and permission to use them.

From an initial conversation to a potential licensing agreement.

Start with a description of your business and the records it keeps. Stomps conducts the preliminary review and seeks an appropriate introduction. An interested data partner leads the detailed assessment and any licensing offer.

Initial review and introduction with Stomps

  1. Tell us about your business

    Complete the form with a description of your business, the kinds of records you retain and how far back they go. We review your enquiry and follow up by email. No files, exports or system access are needed.

  2. Discuss your records with us

    We clarify the records you hold, their approximate volume and history, and any known ownership or permission restrictions. We explain whether the opportunity appears worth taking forward and what still needs clarifying.

  3. Agree to a partner introduction

    If there is a potential fit, we discuss a prospective data partner with you and agree what introductory information to share. The partner decides whether to take the opportunity forward.

Detailed assessment and offer with a data partner

  1. Complete the partner’s review

    An interested partner leads its own assessment of your records and their commercial potential. It explains the further information, samples or checks it requires, including the proposed use and handling of anything requested.

  2. Review an offer and decide

    If the partner makes an offer, you review the records covered, permitted uses, compensation and participation requirements. You decide whether to proceed. Preparation, delivery and payment follow the agreed terms.

After the introduction, the partner leads its assessment and contracting process. Stomps remains available for questions about the introduction.

Frequently asked questions

Does Stomps buy our data or work directly with AI labs?

Stomps does not buy your data. We help businesses explore licensing opportunities through data partners that serve AI developers.

Our role is to review the opportunity at an initial stage and seek an appropriate introduction. An interested partner conducts its own assessment and explains any proposed licensing arrangement, including who would enter the agreement and pay your business.

How much could our records earn?

An offer depends on the records, the expertise they capture, demand for that material and the rights included in the licence. The interested partner assesses their commercial value and decides whether to make an offer.

Stomps’ initial review does not set a price. Published programme figures provide context, but they do not predict what your business will receive.

Can a business in our industry take part?

We welcome enquiries from established businesses across industries. Relevant material may include project histories, service records, technical documentation, internal knowledge, business communications and other records of how work gets done.

Suitability depends on what you retain, whether it can be licensed and how it matches a prospective partner’s requirements. Requirements can differ between opportunities.

What will the initial assessment tell us?

The assessment helps establish whether your records appear worth discussing with a prospective data partner. We consider your description of the material, its history and volume, and any known restrictions.

You receive an initial view of whether to take the opportunity forward and what information still needs clarifying. The partner makes its own qualification and commercial decisions.

What does participation cost?

There is no fee to participate in the programmes we work with. Stomps’ initial assessment is free, and the data partner covers data preparation costs.

We confirm these arrangements with you as discussions progress.

How could our records be used for AI?

Records of completed work can capture how people investigate problems, make decisions and reach outcomes. Depending on the opportunity, licensed material could be used to train AI systems or evaluate how they perform on relevant tasks.

The partner explains the intended use. The licence defines the uses you agree to; permission to review a sample should be addressed separately from permission to use records for AI development.

Would we need to upload files or connect our systems?

Neither is needed for Stomps’ initial assessment. Start with a description of your business and records.

An interested partner may later request selected samples, exports or access to particular systems. That request needs to explain the material required, who will receive it and the permitted use and handling. You can review the request before deciding whether to provide it.

Do we have to share all our records?

A licensing opportunity can focus on selected records rather than everything your business holds.

You and the prospective partner discuss the proposed scope and any exclusions, such as particular clients, projects, folders or categories of information. The partner then determines whether the remaining material meets its needs.

Who prepares the data and handles sensitive information?

The data partner manages the technical preparation of the agreed records. This includes identifying sensitive information and carrying out the de-identification, redaction or exclusions required for the proposed use.

Your team may need to help locate records, clarify their contents and arrange agreed access or exports. The partner explains these requirements before that work begins.

What if the records include customer, employee or client information?

Mention this during the initial discussion without sending the information itself.

These records need closer review to establish what can be included, what must be excluded and what permissions or restrictions apply. Holding a record does not, by itself, establish that it can be licensed for another purpose. Removing identifying details also does not resolve every confidentiality or contractual restriction.

Would we keep ownership of our data?

A licensing arrangement sets out rights to use specified records. The proposal should make clear which rights your business retains and which rights it grants.

Review ownership, your ability to keep using the records, the licence duration and any exclusivity restrictions. Keeping ownership does not automatically mean you can license the same material to another party during the agreement.

Who would see our records, and would we know which AI labs use them?

For an introduction, Stomps agrees with you on the introductory information to share with the prospective partner.

Access to later samples and licensed records is addressed in the relevant arrangements. Whether individual AI labs are identified depends on the partner and its terms. The partner needs to explain who may receive or access the material and the permitted uses before you decide to proceed.

How much work would our team need to do?

Your initial involvement is to describe the records and help clarify what your business holds.

If a partner takes the opportunity forward, your team may need to identify suitable material, check relevant permissions, answer questions or arrange exports. The partner manages technical preparation and explains the input and support it needs from your team so you can assess the commitment.

How long does the process take, and when would we be paid?

Timing depends on the partner’s review, the records involved and the work needed to reach an agreement. Stomps does not set the partner’s assessment or payment schedule.

Any offer should identify who pays your business, how compensation is calculated and what triggers payment. Depending on the arrangement, payment may depend on signing, preparation, delivery, acceptance or other agreed conditions.

What if we decide not to proceed or the offer does not work for us?

Requesting an assessment does not commit you to a licensing agreement. You decide whether an offer works for your business.

If discussions do not lead to an agreement, we can discuss whether another prospective partner may be a fit. Another introduction depends on partner interest and any commitments already made. Any confidentiality, sample-review or other agreements already signed continue to apply according to their terms.

Do you work only with Canadian businesses?

Our initial focus is Canadian businesses. We also welcome enquiries from businesses in the United States and Nigeria.

Whether an opportunity can proceed depends on the prospective partner’s geographic requirements, the records involved and demand for that material.

Would our records stay in Canada?

Stomps is based in Canada, but a prospective data partner may process records in other countries. Storage locations, access locations and any cross-border handling need to be clear in the proposed arrangement.

Information submitted through this website is handled separately from any future licensing arrangement. Our enquiry privacy notice explains the services used for website enquiries, including processing outside Canada.
