Operating companies
License your historical data while business continues as usual. Nothing changes in your systems. Create a new revenue line from an archive you already own.
Your company’s historyis an asset. License it.
Every company produces something no AI lab can fake: the record of real work. Scrimdata licenses that history, anonymizes it beyond recognition, and turns it into training environments for frontier AI. You keep your data. You get paid.
Operating, pivoting, or winding down.
Wind-downs
Closing up? Your operational history may be the most liquid asset you have left.
Exits and pivots
License legacy systems and archives from an acquisition or pivot. Recover value from data that was headed for deletion.
Ownership
A license, not a sale.
Partners keep full ownership of their data. Scrimdata receives a written, scoped license to use an anonymized derivative for AI training. You retain every right to use or license the originals. Nothing is deleted, and nothing is exclusive unless you choose it.
You own the data before, during, and after.
We license an anonymized derivative for uses defined in the contract.
Non-exclusive by default. Exclusivity is your choice.
What anonymization looks like
See it for yourself.
Three systems, one illustrative story: a disputed invoice moving between Slack, email, and a CRM. The company is unrecognizable. The work is identical.
Before: illustrative source data
SLACK #ar-collections Jamie: Meridian Glass Co. is disputing invoice INV-4471 ($18,400, due Mar 14). Dana Okafor says the PO number does not match. EMAIL From: d.okafor@meridianglass.com “We can pay $12,000 now and the remainder after our audit closes April 30.” CRM Meridian Glass Co. | Dana Okafor | Open balance: $18,400
After: what a lab receives
SLACK #ar-collections Rowan: Halberd Ceramics Ltd. is disputing invoice INV-9203 ($21,700, due Apr 02). Priya Vance says the PO number does not match. EMAIL From: p.vance@halberdceramics.com “We can pay $14,100 now and the remainder after our audit closes May 19.” CRM Halberd Ceramics Ltd. | Priya Vance | Open balance: $21,700
Every identifier is substituted: people, companies, email addresses, invoice numbers, amounts, and dates.
Substitution stays consistent across systems, so the same customer remains the same substitute everywhere.
Internal logic survives. Amounts, dates, and escalation paths still relate correctly.
The work stays intact. The negotiation and decisions train the model. Identity is gone.
Illustrative example only. No partner data is shown.
Security
Your security team will have questions. Good.
Scoped access
You define which systems and data types are in scope before anything moves.
Credential isolation
Access credentials are scoped per extraction session and isolated from the rest of the infrastructure.
Secure extraction
Content is extracted by automated systems, encrypted in transit and at rest, with an audit trail of access.
Anonymization first
Personal and business identifiers are masked before a dataset is validated for delivery.
Region-locked EU and US processing
No manual review of partner content
No lab access to raw data
Access logged and auditable
How it works.
Estimate
Answer inventory questions. No files change hands.
Scope under NDA
Review the tool stack and structural metadata, never content.
Contract
Agree license scope, permitted use, retention, deletion, and price.
Secure transfer
Run automated, encrypted, region-locked extraction.
Anonymize and validate
Transform the data, validate the output, and complete delivery.
Questions, answered.
Will our data really be anonymous?
Every identifier is substituted consistently across systems, and each dataset is validated before delivery. What survives is how the company worked, never who it was.
Do we lose the right to use our own data?
No. This is a license, not a sale. You keep ownership and every right you have today. The anonymized derivative is licensed for uses defined in the contract.
Do we have to share data to get a price?
No. Estimates use an inventory of tool types, team size, and years of history. Data transfers only after both sides sign.
How is the data handled?
Access is scoped, credentials are isolated by session, extraction is encrypted, access is logged, and raw data is not exposed to labs.
What kind of data are you looking for?
Connected operational history across email, chat, project trackers, documents, wikis, CRM, and code. Interconnection matters more than volume.
How much can we earn?
It depends on breadth, depth, and interconnection. Contact us to discuss the scope and valuation process.
