7. Which data types do you hold? (small bonus, check all)
8. Common deal killers (optional, 3 questions)

Data brokers commonly report that deals stall on these points. These are general market observations, not requirements set by any buyer or partner, and nothing here rejects your company. Your answers only change the fit label and guidance below your estimate, not the dollar range. Years of history comes from question 2.

Indicative estimate only. This is not a quote or binding offer. It uses our own conservative formula, and the range reflects typical variation in data volume. Final value depends on data sources, data size, data quality, access terms, anonymization and due diligence. Approval is not guaranteed and many datasets will not qualify.

How the estimate works

Headcount and years of records set a base value, because together they approximate how much operational history you hold. We then adjust for entities, English share, location, sensitive data and data types. USD figures convert at a fixed 1 USD = 1.37 CAD. Want the detail?

FAQ

How is the estimate calculated?

We start from a base value driven by headcount and years of records, then adjust for business entities, share of English data, location, sensitive data and the types of operational data you hold. The formula is our own and deliberately conservative.

Is this a quote or an offer?

No. It is an indicative estimate only. Actual value depends on data sources, volume, quality, access terms, anonymization and due diligence by the buyer.

Is my information stored?

No. The calculator runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you enter is sent or stored.

Can a company under 30 employees license data?

Sometimes. Smaller companies usually hold less data, so estimates are lower and approval is less likely, but specialized or long-running archives can still be valuable.

Does bilingual English and French data count?

Yes, but buyers currently pay most for English. Partly French datasets are estimated lower. Quebec companies should also review Law 25 anonymization rules.

Why does sensitive data not add more?

Regulated data such as health, financial or legal records can be valuable, but it needs stronger anonymization and review, which adds cost and time. We apply a moderate bump, not a large one.

What are the common deal killers for company data?

Data brokers commonly report that deals stall when a company holds under roughly 150 GB of data in total, has under about 3 years of retained history, has no internal communications that could be included, or cannot back up its numbers when they are verified. These are market observations, not requirements set by any buyer or partner. In this calculator they only lower the fit label and add guidance. They never reject you and do not change the dollar range.

Why do the deal-check answers not change my estimate?

The estimate is a rough range built from headcount, years of records and a few adjustments. The deal-check questions describe how likely a deal is to move forward, which depends on review. So they change the fit label and guidance only. Answer them honestly, and confirm your numbers from your systems before you rely on any figure.
