Data Value Scorecard.
Eight questions on the drivers buyers price. The result shows where your asset is strong and what would discount it. It does not produce a dollar figure.

The interactive questionnaire above captures eight key drivers that AI buyers consider when pricing a data license. Your responses generate a numeric score for each driver and an overall rating. Use the guidance below to interpret the results, understand the drivers, and decide on the next steps.
Understanding Your Score.
-
Overall rating – A composite number from 0 to 100.
- 80 + indicates strong pricing power.
- 60‑79 suggests solid value with room for improvement.
- Below 60 flags potential pricing challenges.
-
Driver scores – Each driver is shown on a 0‑10 scale.
- Higher numbers mean the attribute is well‑positioned.
- Lower numbers identify gaps you can address.
-
Scenario ranges – The tool also presents a low‑, mid‑, and high‑range estimate based on your scores.
- Treat these as a testing band, not a guaranteed price.
- Use them to frame discussions with prospective buyers.
If any driver falls below 5, prioritize that area before approaching buyers. A balanced profile across all drivers typically yields the most credible scenarios.
What Each Driver Represents.
| Driver | What it means | Typical actions |
|---|---|---|
| Rights | Legal authority to sell, redistribute, or modify the data. | Review contracts. Secure clear licensing language. |
| Uniqueness | How rare or proprietary the data set is. | Highlight exclusive collection methods. |
| Domain depth | Breadth and granularity of coverage within a specific field. | Document taxonomy and metadata richness. |
| Language coverage | Number of languages represented and quality of translation. | Add multilingual layers where feasible. |
| Quality | Accuracy, cleanliness, and consistency of records. | Run validation scripts. Publish quality metrics. |
| Scale | Volume of records, features, or time span. | Provide clear size metrics. |
| Refresh | Frequency of updates and timeliness. | Establish a regular update schedule. |
| Exclusivity | Whether the buyer will receive sole access. | Offer tiered licensing (exclusive vs. non‑exclusive). |
Read each driver’s score as a checklist. If the score is low, ask: What evidence can I add? What process can I improve? Addressing these points raises both individual driver scores and the overall rating.
Next Steps.
- Document gaps. Create a short action plan for any driver under 5. Include measurable milestones and owners.
- Run a pilot scenario. Use the mid‑range estimate to draft a term sheet. Compare it against competitor offers if available.

A clear scorecard gives you a factual foundation for conversations with AI buyers. It does not replace a formal appraisal, but it frames expectations and highlights where you can add value. When you are ready for a deeper analysis, submit a brief and let us help you test the ranges with real buyers.
