About these estimates
Every dollar figure on this site is an illustrative estimate, not an offer, appraisal or guarantee. Ranges come from publicly reported licensing deals, published per-record and per-hour benchmarks and our own valuation model. The real value of any dataset depends on its uniqueness, quality, legal rights, de-identification requirements and current buyer demand, and some datasets have no buyer at all. A written valuation from Knowledge Fuel after NDA and sample review replaces anything shown here.
The assumptions behind every number
- We start from a base range for your company size. A company with 25 to 99 employees starts around $20K to $150K; one with 500 to 1,999 employees starts around $150K to $1.2M.
- Years of records scale that range. Under 3 years roughly halves it; 10 years adds about a quarter; 15 or more years adds about half. Value flattens after 20 years.
- Industry demand adjusts by up to 30 percent. Healthcare, legal and financial services carry a premium because public data in those fields is thin. Retail and real estate sit slightly below average.
- Data types matter. Expert annotations, call recordings and imagery are in the highest demand; transactional and CRM records are more common and valued lower. Each additional type adds about 12 percent, up to 60 percent.
- Clean, labeled data is worth about a third more than typical data. Raw exports are worth about a quarter less, because the buyer or we must do the cleaning.
- Unclear rights cut the estimate in half until a rights review clears them. Datasets with some third-party content lose about 20 percent.
- Exclusive deals price higher (about 1.7 times) but close the door to other buyers. Non-exclusive licensing is the default because it can produce repeat revenue.
- If you enter a volume for your main data type, we compute a second estimate from per-unit benchmarks (for example $2 to $15 per hour of call audio, $0.05 to $0.50 per support ticket) and blend it with the size-based estimate.
- Everything is floored at $5K and capped at $25M, and the high end is always at least 2.5 times the low end, because real valuations have wide ranges until a sample has been reviewed.
