The industries where records are worth money are the ones where the work itself ran through systems for years — email, chat, a CRM, tickets, documents, accounting. The more sources the work ran through, and the deeper the years, the richer the archive. These are the industries where that profile runs deepest.

Industries

Every industry below has its own page, written for the owners in it: what their archive holds, what buyers pay for, and how the privacy side is handled. If your industry is not on its own page yet, it may still be covered by the general fit — that list is further down, and it links to the guide.

One thing applies to every industry on this page: a company that has already closed is measured the same way as one still running, except at its peak — the desk staff it had in its final stretch, the years of records it built, the systems it ran on. If your company is closed, the closed-companies page is the right companion to whichever industry page fits you.

Software & SaaS

A software company runs on written work: team chat, a CRM, support tickets, product and process documentation, layered over years. It is the heaviest archive profile there is — many sources, and all of them dense.

Dental Practices

A practice's archive is its operating history: scheduling, billing and claims, treatment planning, and front-desk communication. Patient information comes out through a certified privacy process before any developer sees a line, and practices can fit at 10 or more desk staff.

Escrow & Title

Every transaction an escrow or title firm closes leaves a deep written file — searches, documents, and correspondence with every party to the deal. Years of those closed files, kept long after closing, are exactly the kind of archive buyers pay for.

Insurance Agencies

Few businesses document their work as completely as an agency does: a management system, policy files, claims correspondence and email, all tied to the same clients, year after year. That completeness is what an archive is worth money for.

Mortgage & Lending

Every loan an office processes leaves an application file and a conditions trail, on top of years of borrower and partner correspondence. A lending office's archive is deep by the nature of the work itself.

IT Services & MSPs

An MSP's ticket history is years of real problems, worked and resolved, inside the PSA — plus email, chat, documentation and project records around it. Ticket-dense archives are among the richest that buyers see.

Call Centers

A call floor is almost pure desk work. Every seat spends the day inside a CRM, a dialer and a QA system, and years of that work is recorded as a matter of routine.

Read the Call Centers page →

Law Firms

A firm's archive is its matters: years of correspondence, drafts and redlines, research, billing records and intake workflow. Confidentiality comes first — the firm lists what is in, its own ethics counsel makes the calls, and nothing moves without that.

Read the Law Firms page →

Accounting & Tax

An accounting firm's value sits in its workflow: engagement records, client correspondence, document history and practice-management data across years of busy seasons. Tax information carries consent rules, and the firm's own counsel decides what may be licensed.

Medical Practices

A practice's archive is scheduling, billing workflow, referrals and front-desk communication across years of patients. Patient privacy is handled by a certified de-identification process under a privacy partner — and the practice's own compliance counsel makes the final call.

Real Estate Brokerages

A brokerage runs on its CRM: years of lead and client history, transaction files and listing workflow. The page answers the question every broker asks first — whose data it is, the brokerage's or the agents'.

Read the Real Estate Brokerages page →

Financial Advisors

A wealth firm's CRM holds years of client relationships, planning workflow and correspondence. Compliance decides what may be licensed — no regulation is interpreted on the page, and if counsel says no, that ends it.

HVAC & Home Services

The honest page: the archive lives in the office, not the trucks — dispatch history, work orders, service records and customer communication. Most single shops are under the desk-staff bar, and the page says so; multi-location operators are the fit.

Property Management

A management company is process end to end: platform history, tenant and owner communication, work orders, leasing workflow. Door count is not the measure — desk staff is — and the page explains why.

Read the Property Management page →

Nonprofits

Mission organizations run on program records, grant files, donor and volunteer correspondence and service workflows. Beneficiary records can stay out entirely; the board sees the offer in writing and decides whether a license fits the mission.

Read the Nonprofits page →

Architecture & Engineering

An A&E firm's archive is its projects: years of correspondence, revision workflows, proposals and project records. Confidential project material is the firm's call, with its own counsel — the firm lists what is in, and only that goes.

Care Facilities & Senior Care

The archive sits in the office: admissions, billing, scheduling and family communication across locations. Resident information goes through the certified privacy process, or stays out entirely — the operator decides.

Read the Care Facilities page →

Freight & Logistics Brokers

A brokerage's TMS holds years of loads — lanes, quotes, carrier and shipper communication, dispatch records. Drivers are not the archive; the office is, and the page is plain about that line.

E-commerce Operations

Support tickets, returns workflows, supplier correspondence and process docs — an operating team's whole history. Solo sellers are told plainly they are not a fit; real operating teams are.

Franchisor Head Office

For the main company only: operations manuals and their revisions, franchisee communication, training records, support history. Individual franchise locations are not a fit — the page says so in its first lines.

Also covered by the general fit

These industries fit the same general shape — desk work, years of records, ordinary business systems — even though they do not have their own page yet. Each name below takes you to the guide, which walks through who qualifies and who does not, in full: the years, the desk staff, the systems, and the fields that can qualify smaller.

Some of the fields on that list can qualify smaller than the general shape. Healthcare and dental, law, accounting and tax, and finance can fit at 10 or more desk staff, because the records in those fields are dense — a small firm's archive carries more written work per person than a larger company in a thinner field. The guide sets out the full standard, including the five-or-more-systems mark of a strong archive.

A franchisor's head office belongs in this conversation too, on its own operational records — the manuals, the franchisee communication, the support history. An individual franchise location does not, and the note below explains why.

What is not covered

Some industries are not a fit for this program at all, and it is better to say so plainly: staffing firms, defense work, cannabis, and individual franchise locations are not fits. The same goes for any company — in any industry — with fewer than about 20 people working at desks, fewer than 3 years of records, or work that left almost nothing in writing. If that is your situation, the honest answer is that there is nothing here to license, and we would rather tell you that on this page than on a call.

Five minutes. See if your archive qualifies.

No cost. No commitment. No logins, no records handed over — just a few questions about the size of your archive.

Questions owners ask

My industry is not listed here. Can my archive still qualify?

Quite possibly. The industries above are where archives are richest, not a boundary. The fit is about the shape of the work: a company running for 3 or more years, with 20 or more people working at desks, and records spread across ordinary systems — email, documents, chat, a CRM, accounting, HR. If that sounds like your company, the five-minute check is the place to start.

What makes one industry's archive worth more than another's?

How many different sources the work ran through, and what kind of data they hold. A business that ran on email alone leaves a thinner archive than one that ran on email, chat, a CRM, support tickets and accounting for ten years. Desk staff and years of records set the scale; the sources set the depth.

Do smaller professional firms qualify?

In some fields, yes. Healthcare and dental, law, accounting and tax, and finance can fit at 10 or more desk staff, because the records in those fields are dense. The general shape for other industries is 20 or more people working at desks and 3 or more years of records.

My company in one of these industries already closed. Does that change anything?

It changes how the archive is measured, not whether it counts. A closed company is measured as it was at its peak — the desk staff it had, the years of records it built, the systems it ran on. The closed-companies page covers how that works, and the one deadline that matters.

Which industries are not a fit?

Staffing firms, defense work, cannabis, and individual franchise locations are not a fit for this program. Neither are companies with fewer than about 20 people working at desks, fewer than 3 years of records, or work that left almost nothing in writing. The AI companies make the final call on fit.

The disclosure, in plain sight

We never touch or access your data. Not during the intake, not during the export, not ever. Your records go straight from your systems to the AI company you sign with — we are never in that chain.

And your business never pays anything.
