How it works.

Four steps from first estimate to payment. Nothing leaves your systems until you’ve signed off on the scope.

  1. 1

    Get started

    See what your data could be worth in two minutes, then answer four short steps about your systems.

    Run the estimate
  2. 2

    Review

    We check your answers and tell you whether your data fits and which route suits your company’s size, usually within a few working days.

  3. 3

    Discovery

    If there’s a fit, we ask a few follow-up questions and book a call about your data, your privacy needs and what you want to license.

  4. 4

    Agreement and payment

    You approve the terms in writing. The data is de-identified, a lab licenses it, and you’re paid in as little as 7 days.

02

Work systems

Select every system that holds useful work history.

Choose all that apply

Multiple selections are fine

Do you qualify?

These are the buyer requirements AI labs check before they license a company’s data. The more of them you meet, the stronger your estimate holds up in review.

Size and history

At least 25 employees. For US companies that means W-2 employees; contractors don’t count. 25–50 employees: direct route. 50–100+ employees: 6/8 Labs review. Several years of records help establish a useful history.

Direct or reviewed

Documented workflows

Support resolutions, project threads, SOPs, decision records and investigation histories.

Problem → decision → outcome

Volume and structure

Enough history that the cleaned dataset is still substantial. Sparse CRM fields, marketing content on its own and thin logs usually fall short.

Depth over size

English, in countable systems

Mostly English-language records in exportable tools such as Slack, Teams, email, Zendesk, Salesforce or Notion.

Exportable tools

Clean rights

The company must own or control the right to license these records. Contracts or third-party rights can limit use.

Yours to license

De-identifiable

Identifiers must be removable without breaking the record sequence. Patient, clinical and genomic data often cannot meet this requirement.

Records of how work gets done.

What we do
What we look for

Companies with continuous, well-recorded business data and documented ways of working.

What you earn

If an AI lab buys your listing, payment is due within 60 days. Some deals pay in as little as 7.

Four questions to answer before a valuation.

A clear inventory and a careful read of the terms make the process easier to assess.

01

Which systems hold the records, how far back they go and how much can be exported?

02

How complete is the history, and does it capture the steps and decisions behind the outcome?

03

Did a change in messaging tools leave gaps in the team’s conversation history?

04

What does the licence allow, and who is responsible for handling and deleting the data?

We work through these questions with you before a listing reaches AI labs.

The value is in how the work got done.

AI labs look for the request, the steps, key decisions, checks and result. You may find that history in the tools your teams already use.

Messages

Team chat and email where work gets coordinated, including the decisions and the reasoning behind them.

Slack, Teams, Gmail, Outlook

Documents

Procedures, playbooks, knowledge bases, contracts and reports: how the company says the work should be done.

Google Drive, SharePoint, Notion, DocuSign

Records and raw data

Pipelines, deal histories, invoices, ledgers and orders from the systems that run the business.

Salesforce, HubSpot, QuickBooks, Xero

Tasks

Work captured end to end: the brief, the back-and-forth and the finished result.

Zendesk, Jira, Asana, ServiceNow

Codebases

Repositories with their history: the commits, reviews and issues that explain why the code is the way it is.

GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket

Expert judgment and feedback

Records of how teams weigh information, make decisions and assess AI output in their work.

Across every system
What buyers want most

Problem decision outcome.

Labs look for records that connect a problem, a decision and its outcome.

Names and other identifying details are removed or redacted before a buyer sees the data, under the terms agreed with the company.

  • Lab and process procedures and protocols
  • Project histories showing how experiments were designed, run, failed and iterated
  • Deviation and quality investigations, including corrective actions
  • Tech transfer packages and manufacturing process documentation
  • Decision threads in Slack, email or Teams on experiment design, resourcing or process changes, after strong de-identification
  • Knowledge bases, checklists and handover documents used by scientific and operations teams

Start with a data inventory.

List the systems, date ranges and record counts before a valuation. Buyers need those details to assess a dataset.

01

Every workspace

Every system that holds business records: team chat, email, CRM, support and documents.

02

Years available

How far back each system can export. That’s often shorter than the company’s history.

03

Total quantity

TBs, messages, tickets or deals. Whatever unit fits the system.

04

Ready for review

A clear inventory helps us decide what to review next.

Know what it’s worth before you list.

An estimate can help set expectations. A buyer’s offer depends on review of the records and the licence terms.

Some labs

Some estimates focus on headcount and storage volume.

How we value it

We also consider record quality, workflow detail and continuity.

What review considers
  • Volume and record quality
  • Workflow detail and expertise captured
  • How complete and continuous the history is
Why continuity matters

A company may have older records even after changing systems. The timeline below shows how a tool change can break conversation history.

Illustrative example. A change in messaging tools can leave gaps in the conversation history, even when other records cover the full ten years.

From inventory to de-identified.

The period between extraction and de-identification needs clear safeguards. Put the handling, timeline and responsibility in the agreement.

01

Inventory

Your systems, years and volume, listed before the first call.

02

Agreement

Price, exclusivity, acceptance, payout and scope of use, agreed and signed.

03

Extraction

Raw files leave your systems. Exposure starts here.

04

De-identification

We ask for it within 14 days, scaled to data size, done by an independent third-party firm.

Before

Person A approved the revised delivery plan for Company B. Send the signed copy to person@example.com and refund the card on file.

After de-identification

Person 14 approved the revised delivery plan for Company 08. Send the signed copy to person14@example.com and refund payment detail removed.

Illustrative example. The names are replaced and payment details removed; the approval and next steps remain visible. How de-identification works

Ask for a Certificate of Deletion after the raw files are transformed, and set the timing in the agreement.

Typical terms come from referral programs published by AI-data brokers and buyers in November 2026, shown without names. The bars apply each rate to what the company is paid; for 6/8 Labs that is our minimum: referrers are capped at $100K per company, and 50/50 partners, who also help close the deal, have no cap and can earn more from half our margin. Examples only, not offers.

Know the terms before you sign.

Check what the agreement allows, how long the licence lasts, and who is responsible for handling and deleting the files.

Yes. Labs license records such as email, chat, documents, CRM history and support tickets for AI development.

  • The agreement defines permitted uses and term.
  • Your company keeps ownership; identifying details are removed under terms you approve.

Value depends on years of continuous history, record quality and the decisions captured.

See the full company data pricing guide.

Company records capture decisions and outcomes that public websites rarely show.

On October 9, 2026, one AI data company announced a $1 billion commitment to acquire and license enterprise operational data.

It covers the next 12 months; this is planned spend, not money already spent.

A broker connects companies with buyers and helps prepare a system inventory, valuation and contract review.

Refer through 6/8 Labs to earn 8.5% of deal value or 12% of what the company is paid, whichever is higher, up to $100K per company. The fee is paid on top of the company’s proceeds.

No. A data licence grants defined uses of the data. You give up no equity and take on no debt, and you keep ownership of the underlying records.

Exclusivity sets how long a buyer has sole use of the data. Check the trade-offs before agreeing:

  • How long the exclusive period lasts.
  • What the buyer can do during that period.
  • How exclusivity affects the price and your ability to license elsewhere.

A 30-day review lets the buyer confirm the files match the agreed inventory. Define review criteria and any right to cancel in the contract.

For deals through our vetting, payout is due within 60 days after purchase; some deals pay in as little as 7 days.

Other deals follow their own contract. Confirm the payment date and conditions before signing.

Check what the buyer may do with the data, for how long, and whether it may be shared further. The agreement should define each permitted use.

Whether sublicensing is allowed, and to whom, depends on the agreement. Name permitted recipients and set limits on further sharing if needed.

Put these details in the agreement:

  • Who handles raw files and when de-identification is complete.
  • Who is responsible at each stage.
  • How and when deletion is documented.

The cap, and what it covers. Check both before you sign.

Payment depends on the company’s referral route:

  • 50 to 100+ employees: 8.5% of deal value or 12% of what the company is paid, whichever is higher, up to $100K per company. Paid on top of the company’s proceeds within 30 days after 6/8 Labs receives payment. A $300,000 deal pays at least $25,500.
  • 25 to 50 employees: partner rewards up to $50K as the company reaches revenue milestones.

On our deals, identifying information is removed before any lab uses the data. Access is limited to the few people working on your deal, your data is processed on its own and never mixed with other companies’ data, and it’s kept only for the period the agreement sets. You can review a representative sample before it’s used, and deletion requests are honored under the agreement’s terms.

Before signing, confirm:

  • Which files are included and who can access them.
  • Security and de-identification requirements.
  • When originals must be deleted and how use is limited.
  • Whether you can review a sample before the data is used.

The company does. A licence grants agreed uses for an agreed period; ownership of the underlying data stays with you.

Payment set by the value of the data, and you keep ownership. Qualified partnerships commonly start at $100K+, large-scale or ongoing data across several teams reaches $500K+, and highly unique operational data can pass $1M.

Each deal is valued on its own: dataset size and volume, how complex the workflows are, data quality, the domain expertise captured and how unique the knowledge is.

It’s processed only for the agreed use. Identifying details are removed, and some datasets are rewritten with consistent synthetic identities that keep the workflow intact. It’s kept for the agreed retention period, you can review a representative sample before it’s used, and it’s deleted on request or at the end of the engagement under the agreed terms.

Companies with 25 to 50 employees use the direct route: a short AI interview to check fit, then partnership discussions, the agreement and onboarding. Companies with 50 to 100+ go through 6/8 Labs’ review. Next steps depend on fit.

Yes. Use the partner link for companies with 25 to 50 employees:

  • Get your link from the Partner tab in the referral portal.
  • Send it before the company applies; earlier applications can’t be credited later.
  • Rewards can reach $50K as the company meets revenue milestones.

We accept referrals worldwide. Current demand is strongest in the US, UK and Canada, with records mainly in English. Your team should also be able to work with us in English through onboarding.

The licence should state whether a buyer may use records to reproduce your products, customer relationships or operations.

Large archives, multiple brands or ongoing data supply may suit a custom deal. Terms depend on the buyer.

Tell us what you have at dhindsamax@gmail.com.

Key referral terms:

  • Protected for 13 months after registration.
  • Once a data check starts, protection lasts for the life of the deal.
  • Commission is 8.5% of the deal or 12% of what the company is paid, whichever is higher, up to $100K per company, paid within 30 days after 6/8 Labs receives payment.

Labs look for records that connect a problem, a decision and an outcome. Examples include:

  • Support tickets with full resolutions.
  • Project and experiment histories.
  • Procedures, investigations and corrective actions.
  • Decision threads in email or chat.

Identifying details are removed or redacted under agreed terms.
