Start with the records your business already keeps.

Your records capture how your team works, solves problems and makes decisions. Buyers license this material to help train and test AI systems on real business tasks.

  • 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.

Protecting your business information.

Start with a description of your records. If a buyer later requests samples, exports or system access, we help you understand what is requested, its intended use and the handling arrangements before you decide what to share.

Selected records
Your business and the buyer agree which records are included and any exclusions, such as particular customers, projects or categories of information. The buyer confirms whether that selection meets its requirements.
Preparation managed by the data partner
The data partner manages preparation of the agreed records, including the required removal or masking of identifying information. It explains what will be removed, changed or excluded. Your team helps locate the records, explain their contents and arrange agreed access or exports.
Use and access
Before sharing, we help you clarify who can access the original records, what they can do with them and how the prepared material will be used. Permission to assess a sample is distinct from permission to use records for AI development.

A fictional HVAC service note

Customer
Sam Taylor, 42 Example Road
Technician
Robin Lee

The shaded rows highlight names and an address that need attention during 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.

The problem, the technician’s reasoning and the result show how the work was done. These details can remain useful when identifying information is removed.

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.

Support from your first enquiry to your decision.

  1. Tell us about your business

    Tell us what your business does, the kinds of records you keep and how far back they go. We review your enquiry and follow up by email.

  2. Explore suitable buyers

    We use buyers’ requirements to identify opportunities for your records and explain each buyer’s application process. You choose which opportunities to explore.

  3. Work through the assessments

    Each buyer runs its own assessment. You complete any applications or interviews that require your direct participation. We help you prepare the requested information, clarify questions and follow up.

  4. Compare offers and choose

    We help you compare any offers you receive, including payments, licensing terms, the records requested and the work involved. You decide which opportunity, if any, to pursue. If you proceed, we stay involved to help clarify outstanding questions and follow up on the next steps.

Frequently asked questions

Could our business be suitable?

Buyers look for records that document how a business operates, solves problems and makes decisions. We consider the kinds of records you retain, how far back they go and which buyers are looking for that material.

Some programmes also have requirements for company size, industry or location. We check those requirements against your business to identify suitable options. You do not need to organise your records into a dataset before enquiring.

How much could our records earn?

Buyers consider the amount and detail of the records, the work and decisions they document, demand for that material and the rights being licensed. The buyer assesses the records before making an offer.

We help you compare the payment offered alongside the records requested, payment conditions and licensing restrictions.

What does participation cost?

Businesses do not pay Stomps for this support. The programmes we work with have no participation fee, and the data partner covers preparation costs.

What does licensing involve, and how could our records be used?

Licensing gives a buyer agreed rights to use specified records in return for payment. Buyers use business records to train and test AI systems on real tasks, including understanding workflows, investigating problems and making decisions.

The licence sets out the permitted uses.

Can we explore more than one buyer?

Yes. We help you explore suitable opportunities with different buyers and compare any offers you receive.

If an application or agreement includes exclusivity, we help you identify that restriction before you decide whether to accept it.

Would we keep ownership of our data?

Yes. Your business retains ownership of its data. Licensing gives a buyer agreed rights to use specified records.

The agreement sets out whether you can license the same material to other buyers, including any exclusivity restrictions and how long they apply. We help you identify and compare these conditions when considering offers.

Who could receive our records, and where could they be processed?

Data buyers supply licensed material to AI labs. Some buyers do not disclose the names of individual labs, and processing may take place outside Canada.

We help you clarify the buyer’s downstream sharing arrangements and processing locations before you agree to share records.

How much work would our team need to do?

Your team provides information about the business, answers questions about the records and identifies the material being considered. Some buyers require an authorised representative to complete an application or interview. If you proceed, your team may also need to clarify permissions and arrange access or exports.

We help you prepare for these requests. The data partner manages technical preparation.

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

Assessment, preparation and payment are separate stages. We help you establish the buyer’s expected assessment timeline and, when an offer is available, the payment schedule and conditions.

Some buyers pay after prepared records have been delivered or accepted. We help you understand what must happen before payment becomes due.

What if we decide not to proceed?

An enquiry does not commit you to a deal, and you can decline an offer that does not work for your business.

If you have already accepted confidentiality, sample-review or exclusivity terms, those commitments may continue to apply.

Select all that apply. “Not sure” is fine.

An estimate of the records you still have is enough.

Describe the kinds of records only. Please do not include confidential details or personal information about customers, employees or other people.
