Potential partnership value$100K–$3MFor qualifying companies with mature, useful operational data.
Your operating history could become AI partnership revenue.
AI labs need examples of how real companies make decisions, use tools, review work, and reach outcomes. Established businesses can explore licensing permissioned SOPs, knowledge bases, CRM histories, project records, quality processes, and other operational data.

What AI labs are looking for
Your daily operations already contain training signal
The most useful data shows how professionals move from information to judgment, action, review, and a measurable result.
Decision-making patterns
How teams evaluate evidence, apply policy, handle exceptions, escalate risk, and decide whether work is complete.
AI performance feedback
Human review of AI-assisted work, including corrections, acceptance decisions, scoring rubrics, and reasons an output failed.
Who may qualify
Strong candidates have years of structured work—not just a large database.
The clearest fit is an established company that can identify a bounded, permissioned workflow with enough history and context to be useful for training or evaluating AI systems.

A straightforward path
How a company-data partnership typically works
The application is only a fit assessment. Confidential records should stay inside your company until the opportunity, scope, and protections are agreed.
Assessment
Share a non-confidential profile of the company, workflows, data types, scale, and ownership.
Evaluation
The partner reviews whether your organization and operational data match current lab demand.
Discovery
If there is potential fit, discuss use cases, data boundaries, privacy requirements, effort, and economics.
Partnership
Finalize the agreement, approved data requirements, security controls, onboarding, and payment structure.
Potential economics
Operational data can become enterprise-scale revenue
Compensation is usually shaped by dataset size, quality, uniqueness, workflow complexity, represented expertise, preparation effort, and current buyer relevance.
Qualified enterprise partnership
A mature, useful company dataset with clear rights and an active buyer use case.
Large-scale operating history
Substantial records spanning multiple teams, systems, or recurring participation.
Highly distinctive proprietary data
Rare operational knowledge with significant relevance to frontier AI development.

Get a partnership assessmentPrivacy and control first
Define the boundaries before any data moves
A serious partnership should adapt to your organization’s requirements and document what is included, what is excluded, how information is handled, and who can approve its use.
Approved scope
Named systems, record types, dates, fields, and explicit exclusions.
Security standards
Restricted access, isolated processing, confidentiality, devices, and incident controls.
Redaction rules
PII removal, anonymization, synthetic rewriting, testing, and exception handling.
Internal approvals
Legal, privacy, security, executive, customer, or employee permissions where needed.
Sample review
A representative prepared sample the company can inspect before approved use.
Retention and deletion
Agreed retention periods, end-of-engagement handling, and evidence of deletion.
Underlying data ownershipYour company retains ownership.
The agreement still needs to define the license, prepared datasets, derivatives, synthetic versions, trained-model effects, and termination.
Useful across industries
Operational data exists in every part of the business

Why labs are buying
Public webpages teach language. Operating histories teach work.
The valuable signal is not merely the document—it is the context around the task, the decision, the correction, and the outcome.
Demonstrations
How experienced professionals use tools and complete complex, multi-step work.
Evaluations
Realistic tasks, edge cases, rubrics, and expert judgments that measure whether an AI system works.
Feedback
Why an output was accepted, corrected, escalated, or rejected in a real operating environment.
Independent deal check
Make the final agreement as specific as the opportunity.
Before sharing raw records, confirm ownership, permitted uses, recipients, security, review rights, payment, retention, derivatives, and exit terms with qualified advisers.

Common questions
Business data, without the hand-waving
What kinds of companies are the strongest candidates?
The clearest public fit is an operationally mature company with 30 or more employees, established English-language documentation, and a substantial history of real workflows. Current demand is strongest in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada, although other regions may still be considered.
What company data may be valuable?
Potentially useful assets include SOPs, knowledge bases, CRM and project histories, workplace-system records, support and quality-assurance workflows, decision patterns, technical documentation, and human feedback on AI-assisted work. The strongest datasets capture how work is performed, reviewed, corrected, and completed.
How much can business data be worth?
Qualified partnerships may be worth $100,000 or more, with larger multi-team datasets potentially reaching $500,000 or more and unusually valuable proprietary operational data reaching $1 million or more. We use $100,000–$3 million as a broad potential range, not a quote. Actual compensation depends on data quality, volume, uniqueness, workflow complexity, rights, and current buyer demand.
How does the partnership process work?
The usual path is an initial company assessment, partner review, a discovery conversation about the data and privacy requirements, and then a negotiated agreement and onboarding if both sides approve the opportunity. Initial applications should contain qualification-level information rather than confidential raw records.
How should company data be protected?
A credible engagement should define the approved scope, security and confidentiality standards, anonymization or redaction rules, internal permissions, limited access, sample review, retention, and deletion before any transfer. These controls should be written into the final agreement.
Who keeps ownership of the underlying data?
micro1 publicly says participating companies retain ownership of their underlying data. The contract should still separate ownership from the license being granted and address prepared datasets, synthetic rewrites, derivatives, trained-model effects, retention, and deletion.
Can companies outside the United States participate?
Yes, but public program materials say current demand is strongest for companies in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada. English-language documentation and the ability to complete the partnership process in English are currently important fit signals.
Can a company legally license its business data?
Sometimes, but possession alone is not enough. Review customer and employee privacy, contracts, confidentiality, intellectual-property rights, regulated information, and the proposed AI uses with qualified legal and privacy advisers before any transfer.
