AI Data Partnerships

Australia’s first AI data partnerships agency, helping businesses get paid to license selected, anonymised business records for AI training.

Business records that could be licensed

Your business may already hold material that AI developers are looking to license. The starting point is the work your team does and the records it keeps.

Operational business records

The day-to-day work held across your systems

Work emails, internal messages, reports and project documents may be suitable. These can sit in Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Slack or the software your business uses to manage its work.

Specialist projects and technical records

Detailed work within a particular field

Engineering designs, technical reports, private codebases and related project histories can suit specialist requirements. Revisions, test results and completed work can help show how a project developed.

Start with an overview

A rough outline of your systems and the history you still hold is enough for the first conversation. You won’t need to send files or provide system access.

Discuss data licensing
Records of a problem, professional decisions and a result connect in one work history.

What you would be licensing

A data licence gives an agreed recipient permission to use specified records for a defined purpose, such as training or testing AI models.

You keep your original records. The agreement sets out what can be used, who can use it and the payment offered, alongside any exclusivity or ongoing rights.

An engineering project, for example, might include the original brief, design revisions and final report. Those related files could form one proposed record set.

Who does what

We prepare the opportunity and coordinate the introduction. The selected specialist partner takes you through its assessment and licensing process.

SOL’s role

We turn your initial overview into a useful partner conversation and stay involved as it progresses.

Discuss data licensing
  • Understand what you hold

    • Prepare a brief covering your business, systems and available record history.

  • Find a suitable partner

    • Consider your records against current partner requirements and the available licensing routes.

  • Arrange the introduction

    • With your approval, connect you with the relevant partner and bring your questions into the discussion.

  • Keep the conversation moving

    • Help coordinate follow-up and attend the partner discussion where useful.

The licensing partner’s role

The partner explains its requirements, proposed offer and the work needed to complete a licence.

Discuss data licensing
  • Confirm the fit

    • Assess the proposed records against the buyer’s requirements.

  • Set out the offer

    • Explain the requested material, permitted uses, payment and any conditions.

  • Agree the preparation

    • Establish who handles extraction, anonymisation, review and transfer, with responsibilities recorded in writing.

Your business makes the decision

An owner or authorised colleague leads the discussion. Your IT team can join where access, security or preparation needs a closer look.

Our Process

We go in-depth to understand your goals

// STEP 01

Talk through what you hold

We ask about your business, team, systems and how far the available digital records go. Approximate answers are fine.

// STEP 02

Meet the relevant partner

With your agreement, we arrange a conversation with the partner suited to the opportunity. They explain what they are looking for and answer your initial questions.

// STEP 03

Review the request and terms

The partner confirms what it needs before making an offer. Depending on the opportunity, this may involve an inventory, an approved sample or a technical discussion.

// STEP 04

Prepare the agreed records

If you proceed, the agreed preparation, review and transfer steps follow. The written agreement determines when payment is due.

Selected records move through removal or replacement of identifying details and review of the prepared copy.

Anonymisation and confidential information

Preparation starts by identifying material that must stay out. Client restrictions, legally privileged material and records your business cannot authorise need separate consideration.

For the agreed material, preparation removes or replaces identifying details, such as names, email addresses and employee or customer identifiers. Related records may use consistent replacement labels so conversations or projects still make sense.

Before any transfer, your business and the partner agree who can access the originals and how the prepared records will be checked.

  1. Our indicative guide is AUD $100,000 to $2 million for suitable licensing opportunities. This is an estimate, not a quote. Actual offers depend on the records, available rights and current buyer demand.

An Australian business connects with a specialist licensing partner through SOL, which coordinates the introduction and follow-up.

An Australian contact throughout the discussion

Our work with business systems helps us ask useful questions about your email, shared drives and other software.

Some partners buy a licence themselves. Others need to secure an AI buyer before a deal can complete. We consider that difference alongside the records each partner wants.

Your priorities stay in the brief, including payment timing and the preparation your team can manage. We bring that context into the introduction and follow-up.
