Data opportunities

AI has read the public web. It has never seen your quote history.

Your quotes, investigations, and inspection records capture years of expert decisions. Epistemic Labs turns that history into documented datasets and brokers licenses to AI labs and model companies. You keep ownership.

  • About 5 minutes
  • Metadata only
  • No system access
Example: A CRM opportunity, an ERP quote, and an email negotiation become one sales record: the customer request, the salesperson's decision, and whether the deal was won.

01What AI companies buy

Inputs, decisions, and what happened next.

Expert decisions linked to real outcomes give AI teams examples to train on and cases to test against. Quotes won or lost, repairs that held, and investigations that resolved a problem capture how work gets done.

Post-training
Worked examples of experts handling real cases, so a model learns how the job is actually done.
Evaluation
Real cases with known results, so a lab can test whether a model would have decided well.
Reinforcement learning
Recorded outcomes for designing and testing rewards for model decisions.
Agent environments
The systems, steps, and states of real workflows, so an agent can practice the work itself.

A CRM export does not establish value by its row count.

The useful structure is the chain inside it: a customer inquiry, the salesperson's response, the follow-ups, and whether the customer bought and stayed. The same shape hides in support desks, ERPs, inspection apps, and claims systems.

  • CRM

    1. Customer inquiry
    2. Salesperson response
    3. Follow-ups

    Outcome: Purchase or not, then retention

  • Support platform

    1. Support request
    2. Investigation
    3. Resolution

    Outcome: Customer outcome

  • ERP and email

    1. Quote
    2. Negotiation

    Outcome: Purchase or loss

  • Field inspection app

    1. Photo
    2. Technician classification

    Outcome: Repair outcome

  • Claims system

    1. Claim
    2. Adjuster review
    3. Decision

    Outcome: Dispute outcome

Linked outcomes can make decisions useful for AI.

02The distinction that matters

Lots of data is not the same as a dataset AI can learn from.

Record volume compared with potentially useful decision chains
Lots of dataA dataset AI can learn from
Millions of rowsExpert decisions linked to what happened next
Exports and table dumpsComplete chains, from request to resolution
Logs with no outcome attachedCorrections, overrides, and second opinions on record
Data anyone could generate in a weekRare edge cases, failures, and disputes
A recent snapshotYears of linked decisions and outcomes

Record volume alone does not establish value. The task is to find these links and test their usefulness to a buyer.

03Where it lives

Start with the systems you use.

Quotes, claims files, and dispatch logs can hold decisions and outcomes that are hard to reproduce. We look for those links, not volume alone.

04How it works

From operating records to a licensed dataset.

We assess the records, build a documented package, and approach AI teams with a relevant technical need. You approve each buyer and the terms.

How it works
  1. 01

    Identify

    Find records of expert decisions and their outcomes.

  2. 02

    Evaluate

    Assess quality, scarcity, scale, and fit for AI tasks.

  3. 03

    Prepare

    Define the extract, document its fields, and prepare a sample under NDA.

  4. 04

    Match

    Approach AI labs, model companies, and enterprise AI teams with a real need.

  5. 05

    Negotiate

    License fee, permitted uses, exclusivity, and term, negotiated with your approval.

  6. 06

    Close

    Sign the license and deliver the agreed dataset.

How we are paid
A brokerage fee, earned only when a transaction closes and agreed with you in writing before any buyer outreach.
What you approve
The buyer, the dataset, and the license terms: permitted uses, exclusivity, updates, and duration.

05Preliminary valuation

What is your data worth?

Describe your systems and the decisions they record. In about five minutes, see your data opportunity score, a preliminary value range where supported, and the factors behind the result.

What we ask about

  • Which systems hold the records
  • How many years of history you have
  • Whether decisions and outcomes were recorded
  • What you know about rights and personal information
Value my data

Preliminary estimate, not an offer. Methodology

Strong signals

  • Expert pricing decisions linked to won or lost outcomes
  • Seven years of continuous history
  • Little comparable data in public

To evaluate

  • Outcome coverage in older quote records
  • Consistency of product and substitution codes

For AI buyers

Hard-to-find data, sourced on demand.

Describe the decisions, outcomes, or workflows your models need. We find businesses whose records match the task and help define the dataset, documentation, and license.

Questions

Plain answers.

Anything else, ask us directly. Conversations are confidential. Talk to us.

What kinds of data do AI companies license?

Quotes linked to purchases, tickets linked to resolutions, inspections linked to repairs, and claims linked to decisions. Expert reasoning, corrections, tool actions, and outcome history give AI teams examples for training and evaluation.

Do you buy our data?

We act as a broker and advisor. Buyers license the dataset directly from you on terms you approve.

How do you get paid?

We earn a brokerage fee only when a transaction closes. The fee is agreed with you in writing before we approach any buyer. The preliminary assessment is free.

What do we have to share, and when?

Start with dataset descriptions: the systems you use, the history you hold, and the decisions and outcomes recorded. After a mutual NDA, we review schemas and a sample through an agreed diligence channel, then prepare documentation for buyers you approve.

How long does it take?

The preliminary assessment takes about five minutes. The next stages are dataset preparation, buyer review, and negotiation. We agree the steps and schedule with you after reviewing the dataset.

Will we have to grant exclusivity?

You choose the terms. Licenses can be non-exclusive, exclusive for a field or a period, or limited to uses such as evaluation. We help you weigh pricing, duration, and future licensing options.

Do we need to prepare the dataset ourselves?

We help define the extract, connect decisions to outcomes, document the fields, and prepare a sample. Your engineer or analyst works with us on the source systems and approves the package.
