What companies' data is worth to AI buyers, from our own valuations.
Our valuations of 93 companies' records have a middle of $76,000: $13,000 for companies of 1 to 9 people, $200,000 for companies of 200 people or more. AIData.Broker has valued the data of 184 companies since 16 Oct 2026. Here is what they hold, what our valuation put on it, and how many of them a buyer's referral programme took. Counted from our own records: no company is named, and a group of fewer than 10 companies is never shown.
AIData.Broker values a company's data free and introduces it to every buyer that takes it, at no cost to the company: the buyers pay us. Where it earns more, we run the sale ourselves, for a fee only out of a sale.

What companies hold
The kind of data each company valued first. Most hold the records of how the company ran; fewer hold code, finished training tasks or text.
| Kind of data | Companies | Share | A buyer's published rules take it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Company records | 97 | 53% | 98% |
| Codebases | 31 | 17% | 84% |
| Graded tasks and benchmarks | 15 | 8% | 93% |
| Text and archives | 12 | 7% | 83% |
| Audio and speech, Images, Simulated environments, Video and footage, Robot and physical-world data: each under 10 companies | 29 |
“A buyer's published rules take it” means at least one buyer's referral programme, as it publishes its rules today, takes a company like it. Whether that buyer has room and pays enough on it is decided company by company.
What our valuation put on it
The middle half of our valuations, for the kinds with enough companies to say. These are our estimates against the market's public prices, not offers or sales.
| Kind of data | Middle valuation | Middle half |
|---|---|---|
| Company records | $76,000 | $22,000 to $140,000 |
| Codebases | $17,000 | $4,100 to $57,000 |
| People at its largest | Middle valuation | Middle half |
|---|---|---|
| 1 to 9 people | $13,000 | $12,000 to $17,000 |
| 10 to 49 people | $41,000 | $27,000 to $120,000 |
| 50 to 199 people | $140,000 | $76,000 to $190,000 |
| 200 people or more | $200,000 | $130,000 to $370,000 |
Records are worth more the larger the company was: more people leave more email, tickets and documents, over more years. A small company's records are still valued: buyers price a company by its years and its people, and several publish no minimum size. How a company's data is valued.
Where their records live
The systems the companies holding records said they keep them in, as a share of the 89 that named one. A system's own terms decide what may be exported and licensed.

Who takes it
The first two rows count from 29 Oct 2026, when the result page began recording what it offered each company; the last two from 16 Oct 2026.
| Step | Companies |
|---|---|

A company with nothing a buyer takes today is told so, and can ask to hear from us when a buyer for its kind of data appears. The buyers that take companies, and what each pays, are on the buyer board.
Where they are, and whether they still trade
| Run from | Share |
|---|---|
| United States, United Kingdom or Canada | 61% |
| Elsewhere | 39% |
| The company today | Share |
|---|---|
| Operating | 85% |
| Closed | 7% |
| Winding down | 7% |
A company that is closing or has closed can still sell its records: someone still controls its accounts and exports. Selling a closing company's data.
How this is counted
One company is one address, else one browser on one day, else one company website, so several valuations by the same person count once, at their highest figure. Our own tests and our team are left out. The kind, size and status are the company's first answers.
A valuation is our estimate from the company's answers against the public prices on our price board, before any buyer has seen the data. “Taken by a buyer” means the buyer itself confirmed or registered the company after our introduction. Counted from 265 valuations to 11 Nov 2026.
