Company data market research
We keep sourced datasets on public prices for company data. Each study has a method, a version, a citation, and a CSV of the same rows as the table. Every figure links to a primary source. Our payout tiers are not in these tables.
Studies
Each study comes with a CSV you can download.
The price index lists public dollar amounts for company operational records and, in a second table, public amounts for publisher and media licenses. Each row names the party, the unit, the month, and the document that states the figure.
If you are deciding whether to license your own records, read how to sell company data to AI companies before you treat a public figure as your payout.
A second study compares how long vendors keep data after you cancel.
Price index
Public, sourced prices for company records and for publisher data licenses, in separate tables.
Tool stacks by size
Applicant tool names by headcount band, cells under 10 omitted.
Deletion windows
Compared vendor deletion windows after cancellation, from the same checked records as the system pages.
How each study is built
Primary sources only
Every number in a dataset is the number on the source the table links.
The source is a company announcement, a securities filing, or a court filing. When the company's own page does not give the figure, the row names the outlet that does and links that article. A tracker that aggregates deals can help you find a document. It is not the source of the figure.
The date on each row is the day that document was current. If the document and a later recap disagree, the document is the one in the table. The sentence in the table follows that document.
What is not a market price
Our payout table is not a market price, and it is not a row in these datasets.
The tiers are a program price for a company that asks about its own records, and they stay on the estimate page. The data partner is not named in these tables. Every row links to its primary source. An amount with no dollar figure means the source gave none.
A court bid stays a bid until an order says the sale closed. A publisher's multi-year total stays in the publisher table. Neither one is a typical price for one company's chat or email.
Versions and citations
Every study shows a version and a citation string so a quoted number can be tied to a dated table.
A patch fixes a citation or a typo that does not change a cell. A minor version adds or removes a row. A major version changes a column or the rule for what a row is. The changelog on the study says what changed. The CSV link on the study is the current table.
If you quote a figure, use the citation on that study and keep the source link beside the number. The license on the study covers our compilation. It does not cover the articles, filings, or vendor pages the rows point to.
Other data
A company that wants a figure for its own records should use the estimate. The estimate applies our payout tiers. It is a different question from the public deals in the price index. What is shared names which records a license can include and which details never leave the company.
Use the estimate and what is shared when the question is your own records. Use a study when you want the sourced comparison. The price index does not say what your company will be paid. The estimate does not list other companies' deals.
The free tools include a records inventory you can fill in before you ask about a license.
The guides collect how-tos for licensing records and for closing a company.
News and analysis explains individual deals from the filings.
Vendor-by-vendor deletion rules live in the systems directory.
Final-pay and wind-down rules by state are in the state wind-down dataset.

Questions about this research
Which company data datasets can I download?
You can download the company data price index. Each study is a sourced table with a method, a version, a citation, and a CSV of the same rows as the table. Every row links to its primary source. The price index keeps company records and publisher licenses in separate tables.
Can I download the research tables as CSV?
Yes. Each study links a CSV with the same columns as its table. The file is UTF-8, it starts with a header row, and it uses CRLF line endings. It is a download of the table, not a separate article. The study states the license and the citation to use if you quote a figure. Quote the source URL beside any number you repeat.
How often is the company data research updated?
A study changes when a source changes a figure or a new primary source supports a row. Each study shows a version and a changelog, and it is not a live feed. New filings are added on a quarterly cadence. A citation includes the version so a quoted number stays tied to a dated table.
Are Vetrix's payout tiers part of the research datasets?
No. Those tiers are our own program, and they are on the estimate page. Putting them in a market table would mix a price list with observed deals. Use the estimate for a figure about your own company. The index does not name our data partner. A public deal and a program price answer different questions.
