AI Data Asset Advisory
Your operating history is now an asset. Know what it's worth before you sign.
AI developers have started licensing real business records to train the next generation of AI agents, and established companies are getting offers. DigitalOS helps you understand what your data is worth, what must stay protected, and whether licensing it, or putting it to work inside your own business, is the smarter move.
Owner-side and buyer-neutral. We never take custody of your data.
Why now
A new market is pricing the way your company works.
AI agents are being trained to do real business work: answer customers, manage projects, close out tickets, reconcile accounts. To learn that, they need more than manuals. They need the record of how experienced teams actually handle it, from the first request to the final outcome.
That record lives inside your systems. Years of projects, cases, decisions and results. And AI developers have begun paying established companies for the right to use it.
The opportunity is real. So are the questions. Who owns that information? What did you promise your customers and your team? What happens to it once it leaves your hands? A fast yes can leave money on the table, or create problems that outlast the check.
Already have an offer?
Got an offer for your company's data? Don't answer it yet.
If someone has already reached out asking to license your records, you are not alone, and you are not obligated to move on their timeline. Before you reply, you should be able to answer five questions with confidence:
- Do we actually own, or have the right to license, everything they're asking for?
- What did we promise our customers and employees about how their information is used?
- Can the buyer resell or share our data with other AI companies?
- What happens if we change our mind, or the relationship ends?
- Is this the best offer available, or simply the first one?
If any of those gave you pause, start with a confidential conversation.
What you get
Clarity first. Then a decision that's yours.
Whether you license, wait, or keep it all in-house, you walk away knowing exactly where you stand.
A clear value picture
An informed estimate of what your operational data could be worth in today's market, and what drives that number up or down.
A rights and risk map
What you can license, what you can't, and what should never leave the building, so nothing is shared by accident.
An independent recommendation
License now, wait, or keep it internal. In writing, with the reasoning behind it.
A buyer-neutral comparison
If you decide to proceed, terms from qualified buyers side by side, so you negotiate from strength.
An AI roadmap for your own business
The same data that interests AI developers can power AI inside your company. You'll see where it creates the most value for your team.
Who it's for, and what stays protected
Built for established companies with years of hard-won know-how.
This advisory is a strong fit if your company:
- Has been operating for several years, with a team of roughly 30 or more
- Runs on systems of record: CRM, ticketing, scheduling, project or field-service platforms
- Has documented processes, playbooks or a deep history of client work
- Wants to understand the opportunity before committing to anything
What stays protected, always:
- Your customers. Their information and the promises you made to them.
- Your team. Personal communications and employee records stay off the table by default.
- Your edge. Trade secrets and the know-how that sets you apart.
- Your commitments. Contracts, NDAs and partner agreements are respected before anything is shared.
Industries we're focused on: home services · staffing and recruitment · customer support and outsourcing · managed IT services · accounting and bookkeeping · marketing and consulting firms.
In healthcare, legal and other highly regulated fields, we focus on protecting your data and putting it to work internally.
Questions owners ask us
Are AI companies really paying businesses for their data?
Yes. Several AI developers now run formal programs that license operational records from established companies to train and test AI agents. The market is new and moving quickly, which is exactly why it pays to get independent advice before you commit.
What kind of company data are they interested in?
Records that show how work actually gets done: procedures and playbooks, project and case histories, support tickets, sales activity, quality reviews and the outcomes tied to them. Connected, well-documented workflows tend to matter more than sheer volume.
How much is my company's data worth?
It depends on what you have, how complete it is, what you have the right to license and current buyer demand. Anyone quoting a firm number before reviewing those factors is guessing. We give you an informed, estimated range and explain what moves it.
Do I give up ownership of my data?
Licensing typically grants a buyer the right to use your data, not ownership of it. But terms vary widely, including resale rights, how long the license lasts and what happens when it ends. Those details deserve careful review with your attorney.
Is it legal to license our business data?
Often, but not automatically. Customer contracts, privacy commitments, employee information and industry rules all shape what you can share. We help surface those issues early; your own counsel makes the final call. DigitalOS is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.
Will DigitalOS see or store our data?
No. Our evaluation starts with how your business and systems are organized. We never take custody of your records.
Do you get paid by AI companies?
Some buyers compensate advisers for introductions. If that could apply to your situation, we disclose it in writing before any introduction is made, and nothing moves forward without your approval.
What if licensing isn't right for us?
That's a good outcome too. You'll leave with a clear picture of your data, what it's worth and where AI can create value inside your own company.
Know what your operating history is worth, before someone else names the price.
