Which businesses are a fit for a SourceX introduction

Good candidates are established operating businesses with original, well-documented workflows, a decision maker who can authorize a licensing discussion, and the rights to license that material. Requirements vary by buyer program, so treat this as screening guidance rather than a guarantee of eligibility.

A useful initial screening profile

  • Operating maturity. Many buyer programs look for companies with roughly 20 or more full-time employees and several years in operation. Some programs set higher thresholds, and smaller specialists can still be considered.
  • Original documentation. SOPs, internal knowledge bases, project histories, QA records, support workflows and similar material the company created itself.
  • Rights to license. The company owns the material, or can license it without breaching client confidentiality, employee privacy or third-party contracts.
  • An authorized sponsor. An owner, executive or someone they designate who can approve a discussion.
  • Relevance to buyer demand. The material has to match a real program. SourceX checks this during review.

Usually not a fit

  • Personal consumer data, scraped data or data the company does not control.
  • Material that belongs to the company's clients rather than the company.
  • Businesses that only want to sell a one-off file with no documentation or context.
  • Introductions made without the decision maker's knowledge.

Program-specific requirements

Buyer programs differ in company size, operating history, geography, language and data category. SourceX applies the criteria of the specific program, not one universal minimum. A company that does not fit one program may fit another later.
