How is a company's data valued?
Data valuation weighs buyer demand, volume, history, quality, exclusivity potential and rights clarity. A SourceX assessment gives a company a grounded picture of what its data could be worth.
The valuation factors
- Demand. How many buyers currently need this kind of data.
- Volume and history. How much data, over how long.
- Quality. Real, complete, well-structured records.
- Exclusivity potential. Whether the data is unique.
- Rights clarity. Clean authority and provenance.
Why guesses fail
Reported deals span from thousands to hundreds of millions of dollars (Reuters). Without market knowledge, companies routinely undervalue — or overvalue — their data.
The assessment
SourceX's assessment evaluates a company's data against current buyer demand — at no upfront cost to the company.
What this means for partners
"Find out what your data is worth" is the strongest introduction line there is. If a deal closes and SourceX collects its fee, you earn 25% of that fee, up to $100,000 per company.
