Step by step

Three steps, all of them on your terms

It starts with a short estimate. After that comes a 15-minute call, a de-identified copy you approve, and a license handled by License Your Data.

Start my estimate

Where it begins: your estimate

You tell the estimate your headcount, your years in business and the type of company you run. As you reply, your range shifts. Headcount sets the starting band, time in business adjusts it, and your industry has no effect on it.

Send your details and a License Your Data specialist, our licensing partner, calls within minutes to arrange a 15-minute call at a convenient time. Your range is an indicative estimate based on your answers, and it is not an offer or guarantee.

The three steps

  1. 01

    A short 15-minute call

    You and a specialist talk through the systems your team uses, how far back your records go and anything you already know should stay out.

  2. 02

    A copy with identifiers removed

    License Your Data builds a copy in which names and identifiers become placeholders. Nothing is sent until you approve a sample.

  3. 03

    The copy is licensed

    The approved copy is licensed to buyers through License Your Data. Your originals never leave your systems.

Step one in detail: the call

The call is deliberately quick. Its only job is to check whether your records fit, not to pitch you. Typical questions include:

  • Which tools does your team work in every day?
  • Roughly how many years of history do those tools hold?
  • Do you want any clients, matters or folders excluded from the outset?
  • Who else at the company should be part of the decision?

Everything starts under NDA. If it is not a fit, you hear that plainly on the call.

A closer look at the copy

Nothing original leaves its place. Only the systems you agree to are copied for License Your Data, and at no stage is a password asked for or shared. Within it, people, client and company names are replaced with placeholders, and so are identifiers such as addresses and account numbers.

A sample of the finished copy comes to you before anything leaves. Whatever is not right is either fixed or dropped. You are free to exclude any system, folder, client or matter.

Step three in detail: the license

After your approval, buyers license the de-identified copy via License Your Data. Each license applies to the agreed copy and the agreed uses only. Your staff carry on in their own systems just as they did, at no cost to you.

What is shared and what is not

What goes out, with your approval

  • De-identified copies of only the agreed systems and date ranges
  • The shape of the work: requests, steps, decisions, handoffs and follow ups
  • Placeholders where names and identifiers used to be

What never goes out

  • The original files and systems themselves
  • Passwords, logins or keys
  • Client, patient or taxpayer data held by regulated businesses
  • Card numbers and bank account information
  • Whatever system, folder, client or matter you rule out

Step one is three questions.
