Why AI buyers want licensed, consented data
AI buyers want licensed data because it comes with clear rights and provenance, and because analysts report demand moving toward consented, domain-specific datasets.

What this means for partners
If you know a company with 50+ full-time employees at peak and years of operational records, you can introduce it to SourceX. If a deal closes and SourceX collects its fee, you can earn 25% of that fee, up to $100,000 per company. Nothing is guaranteed; every deal depends on assessment and buyer selection.
