Data room stages
How a data room works in a licensing deal
No buyer pays six figures blind, but you don't want to hand over your archive to find out if they're interested.
What goes in
- An anonymised profile: size, years, systems, volumes.
- Small, de-identified samples, watermarked.
- Your de-identification method and test results.
What stays out
- Full exports.
- Anything not yet tested.
- Live access to your systems, ever.
Key takeaways
- Show enough to price, not enough to copy.
- NDAs and watermarks deter misuse.
- Samples should be de-identified and tested too.
