SELLER PROTECTION CHECKLIST

Four Expensive Mistakes First-Time Data Sellers Make

Enterprises and creators routinely leave 50%+ of archive value on the table by rushing into their first inbound AI lab email without competitive benchmarking.

Signing perpetual exclusivity on Deal #1 instead of a 24-month non-exclusive license that can be sold 3–4 times.
Sending a 100-hour 'test folder' over Google Drive or open S3 without canary watermarking or a no-training NDA.
Granting broad 'sublicensable' rights that quietly allow the buyer to resell your archive to other labs.
Failing to separate historical archive licensing from higher-margin ongoing annual refresh feeds.
