A decision worth understanding

Start with the records.
Understand the deal.

Your business may hold years of decisions, exceptions, and completed work. A buyer may value that history. The price depends on what remains useful, which rights you can grant, and what the agreement requires.

This guide explains the opportunity and gives you a way to investigate it. It does not estimate your payout or promise an offer.

  2. Which records might be useful
  3. Who buys data and how it is used
  4. How price, rights, and work fit together
