Selection & fit
Presenting company records to an AI buyer — Sell Data to AI Lab
ANSWER IN BRIEF
Present a bounded collection through its potential task, available context and known limits. Use a qualified review to refine the opportunity before comparing commercial terms.
Select a concrete workflow
Choose a process whose records have a recognizable structure, such as a request, action and documented outcome. Explain what the company knows about that process and where context is missing. This is more useful than presenting an undifferentiated archive whose only stated advantage is the number of files.
Describe possible use without claiming results
Explain how the records might support a task, then ask the prospective recipient to confirm the relevant requirements. Separate candidate use from measured performance. A collection may be worth evaluating without evidence that it improves a particular model, and the seller should preserve that distinction in its description.
Prepare evidence for the next question
Use an inventory and provenance note before a raw-data sample. If a sample is appropriate, agree what it will establish and how it will be handled. Document whether examples are representative, curated or selected to explore a difficult case so the recipient can interpret the result.
Move from fit to terms
After technical feedback, define the eligible collection, preparation work and requested rights. Ask for the counterparty and conditions behind any commercial indication. DataVal can support discovery through an independent estimate and connections, but a task-fit discussion does not itself create a buyer offer or permission for every AI use.
Questions & answers
Should we call all our records AI-ready?
Describe the actual structure, checks and limitations instead. Readiness depends on a defined use and recipient requirements.
