Licensing & delivery
Delivering a versioned AI dataset — Sell Data to AI Lab
ANSWER IN BRIEF
Deliver the agreed records, example structure and documentation as a versioned package, with acceptance tied to the stated task and scope.
Reconcile the evaluated and delivered versions
Identify which sample informed the proposal and how the full package differs. Document new periods, revised labels, excluded records and preparation changes. A buyer’s response to one version should not be treated as acceptance of a materially different dataset without explaining those differences and any required additional review.
Document the example structure
Provide a schema and readme identifying inputs, context, outcomes and derived judgments. Include provenance and known limitations. Explain any partitions or grouping rules agreed for the intended use. Keep the package understandable without requiring the recipient to infer important relationships from file names or undocumented column conventions.
Check technical and content completeness
Reconcile counts, file versions and required fields with the manifest. Verify that linked records and supporting documentation are present. Where checksums are used, describe them as transfer integrity checks; they do not establish task suitability, correctness of every label or a right to use the records.
Record acceptance and future changes
Agree who reviews the package, which criteria determine acceptance and how issues are corrected. Preserve earlier versions and issue change notes for replacements. If ongoing delivery or labeling is included, define its scope and review process separately. A dataset handoff does not by itself demonstrate a model improvement or complete every commercial condition.
Questions & answers
Can corrected labels overwrite the delivered version?
Issue a new identified version and change note so the recipient can distinguish the correction from the original package.
