BUSINESS DATA / THE BROKER DECISION DESK

AI data brokers: choose, compare, prepare.

Evaluate an AI data broker, compare fee proposals, and qualify buyer interest with practical worksheets for business data owners.

An independent inquiry and referral project for business data owners. We help structure exploratory conversations; we do not publish a verified buyer roster.

Free inquiry. No dataset uploads. No guaranteed buyers or earnings.

What do you need to decide?

  1. Broker, marketplace, or direct outreach? Compare responsibility for finding prospects, qualification, and delivery.
  2. Which intermediary can explain a credible next step? Use the interview checklist before agreeing to a mandate.
  3. What would each fee proposal leave you? Compare the same sale and no-sale scenarios.
  4. Is a buyer inquiry ready for more work? Record the task, evaluator, and next decision.

How it works

  1. Describe one bounded dataset and its origin.
  2. Identify the buyer task, evidence gaps, and questions to resolve.
  3. Explore a possible introduction when interest and fit are confirmed.

We review descriptions and may follow up. Any introduction, evaluation, or commercial arrangement needs separate discussion. Submitting a form does not license your data.

Prepare your next conversation

AI data broker vs marketplace vs direct outreach

Compare who finds prospects, qualifies buyers, negotiates scope, and handles delivery across three ways to explore a business dataset sale.

What to send

A high-level description, approximate volume, provenance, and the questions you need to resolve. Keep raw records, confidential samples, and personal information out of the form.
