Licensing & delivery
Handing over the approved company dataset — Sell Our Data
ANSWER IN BRIEF
Transfer the exact version the company approved, with a manifest, interpretation notes and an agreed acceptance process. Keep delivery responsibility clear across internal teams.
Freeze the agreed scope
Identify the dataset version, record unit, included fields and periods covered. Check that these match the proposal and internal approval. If a buyer adds a new requirement during preparation, record the change and its effect on work, rights and cost rather than silently expanding the delivery.
Reconcile the final manifest
Compare final counts and files with the approved inventory. Explain exclusions, replacements and differences from the sample. Include field definitions, relationships and known limitations. A delivery manifest helps the commercial owner understand what the technical team is sending without requiring access to every underlying record.
Assign the handoff contacts
Name the person responsible for transfer, the person answering content questions and the person recording acceptance. Confirm the recipient and access period through the agreed channel. Keep evidence of what was transferred and when, while preserving the previous version if a correction is required.
Close the internal loop
Distinguish receipt from technical validation and commercial acceptance. Record outstanding questions, rework and payment conditions with owners and dates. If the arrangement includes future contributions, document the operating schedule and approval boundary. The company should know when this delivery is complete and what responsibilities continue afterward.
Questions & answers
Does successful upload mean the deal is accepted?
No. Receipt, technical checks and commercial acceptance are separate decisions under the agreed terms.
