QualifyDataQualifyDataYes — AI companies pay MSPs and IT services firms to license their operational records for AI training. The richest part of the archive is the ticket history: years of real problems, worked and resolved, in your PSA. Identifiers are removed before any AI developer sees a line of it.
An MSP runs on records. Every ticket opened, every alert answered, every project delivered left a trail in your systems — and that trail is what AI developers need to learn how real IT work gets done. They license a cleaned, de-identified copy of those records. You keep your originals, you keep using them, and nothing about your day-to-day operations changes.
QualifyData is a broker. There is no need to submit to one buyer direct and take the one number they offer. We put your archive in front of 15 AI companies, let them bid, and submit the best offer to you, in writing. You go through the process one time.
Five minutes. See if your archive qualifies.No cost. No commitment. No logins, no records handed over — just a few questions about your archive's size.
The records that show how the work actually got done — built up over years, across the ordinary systems an IT services firm runs on:
More sources and more years make a stronger archive, and five or more software systems is a strong one. You pick which systems and which years go — nothing leaves until you sign a license that lists exactly what goes.
Years of tickets with resolutions, across several systems — PSA, documentation, email, chat, accounting. A steady desk team working in them daily. Records your firm controls and can export. A closed or sold MSP measured at its peak counts the same way.
A ticket history purged or left behind in an old PSA. One system with a short history. Records you no longer control or cannot get to. A history under three years. The check sorts this out in five minutes, at no cost.
No — and it is worth saying plainly. What gets licensed is operational records: the history of the work. Passwords, credentials, keys and network access are not records, and they are never part of a license. Nobody gets a login to anything, at any step — the intake call covers counts and sizes only, and your own team makes the export.
What happens to the client details inside the records is a defined process:
Your client agreements and your own counsel have the final say for your firm. This page explains the process; it is not legal advice, and your attorney can review every document before you sign anything.
Five minutes. See if your archive qualifies.The general bar is 20 or more people working at desks, alongside 3 or more years of records and several business systems. Firms are in the US, Canada, the UK or Australia. An archive running on five or more systems is a strong one, and most established MSPs clear it.
"Desk staff" means the people whose work runs through the systems all day — technicians working tickets, dispatchers, service coordinators, account managers, your back office. Field-only work that never touches the PSA builds less archive. The AI companies make the final call on fit, starting with the five-minute check.
It can still qualify — a closed firm is measured as it was at its peak, in its final stretch of real operation: the desk staff it had, the years of records it built, the systems it ran on. If your PSA history and business records are sitting in retained systems, in storage, or with a records custodian, they are an asset you may be paying to keep alive. A license can collect that value before accounts lapse or records reach the end of their retention period.
If the firm was sold, the question is who holds the rights to the records now — the seller, the buyer, or an estate or trustee. Storage is not the same as ownership, and your attorney confirms who can sign before anything moves. Our closed-companies page covers the rest of the picture.
Five minutes. See if your archive qualifies.Mostly, the small and the thin. An MSP is usually not a fit if it has fewer than about 20 people working at desks, fewer than 3 years of records, a ticket history that was deleted or left behind in a system you no longer control, or records held in a single system with little history. Records you cannot access, or no longer have the right to license, cannot go either. If that is your firm, the five-minute check will tell you quickly, at no cost.
You never hand over a login, and you see every number in writing before you commit to anything.
We walk through your systems and answer your questions — including the client-privacy ones. No data, no logins, no commitment.
A client services agreement lets us represent you. It doesn't commit you to a deal, and your attorney is welcome on a call first.
60 to 90 minutes, system by system: how far back, how much. Counts and sizes only — no records, and nobody gets a login.
That list — no actual records in it — goes out through our broker network to 15 AI companies. They bid, and we submit the best one to you, in writing.
You sign directly with the AI company behind that offer, your attorney reviewing first. The license lists exactly which systems and years are in it.
Your team exports copies, with help at every step — typically 5 to 10 business days. Then a buyer review of about 30 days.
The AI company pays you the license fee directly.
From signing to money in the bank is typically 90 to 120 days. Timelines are typical, not promised — and no offer is guaranteed.
Published deals, and buyer ranges shown at the sizes we qualify — examples of what archives have sold for, not a promise of what yours is worth. Your number only exists as a written offer after the intake call.
Yes. AI companies train their systems on how real businesses operate, and an MSP's records — years of tickets and how they were resolved, process documentation, client communication — are exactly that kind of history. You license a cleaned, de-identified copy for a set term; your originals stay yours and your firm keeps running as it does today.
No. Passwords, credentials, keys and network access are not operational records, and they are never part of a license. Nobody gets a login to anything at any step — the intake call covers counts and sizes only, and your own team makes the export.
They are removed before any AI developer sees the data. The cleaning process replaces names, emails and phone numbers with labels like "Person 01," generalizes dates, and leaves card and bank numbers out entirely. Only the buyer's cleaning process sees the raw copy, it is deleted on the schedule in your license, and you can ask to see a cleaned sample first. You also pick which systems and years go in the first place.
Yes — always. What gets licensed is a copy: you keep your originals, keep using them, and your daily operations don't change. You also pick which systems and which years go; the rest never leaves.
It depends on three things: how many desk staff worked in the systems, how many years of records you hold, and how many sources the work ran through. Case studies from AI labs run from $150K to $550K, and higher for large archives. Your number only exists as a written offer after the intake call — the estimator gives you the rough range first.
Often, yes. A closed firm is sized at its peak — the desk staff it had and the years of records it built. If the firm was sold, who can sign depends on who holds the rights to the records; your attorney confirms that before anything moves. Either way, the starting point is the same five-minute check.
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. Your business never pays anything.
