How it works

Two ways to buy. One standard of evidence.

Whether you license packaged data or commission a new program, the documentation standard is identical: rights reviewed before activation, quality verified against written criteria, and delivery with traceable provenance.

License packaged data

For verified datasets that can be sampled, diligenced, and licensed.

  1. Step 1

    Discover

    Search the catalog and review dataset specifications in the open.

  2. Step 2

    Evaluate

    Request an evaluation pack with a representative sample and full documentation.

  3. Step 3

    Diligence

    Review rights, provenance, privacy and quality evidence with your counsel.

  4. Step 4

    License

    Agree permitted uses, exclusivity grade and commercial terms.

  5. Step 5

    Deliver

    Receive secure delivery with versioned manifests and checksums.

Commission new data

For buyer-specific programs produced to a defined geography, modality, environment, task, volume, rights standard, annotation requirement, and delivery schedule.

  1. Step 1

    Specify

    Your requirement becomes a structured brief: task, geography, participants, capture spec, quality standard, rights grade, delivery.

  2. Step 2

    Clear

    Consent mechanism, counterpart and bystander rights, and local data-protection law are reviewed before any collection begins.

  3. Step 3

    Activate

    The program deploys through the selected network: tasks distributed, participants opt in, equipment dispatched.

  4. Step 4

    Verify

    Two-stage quality process against acceptance criteria agreed in writing; submitted and accepted reported separately.

  5. Step 5

    Deliver

    Accepted units with manifest, consent attestation and rejection analysis.
