Before you apply

1. Check you meet Scrimdata's published rules: no minimum published; accepts operating, closing companies.
2. List your systems, years of history and who can export each one. The data inventory worksheet helps.
3. Confirm the records are yours to license and note what must stay out (HR, legal, customer data held under contract, regulated data).
4. Decide in advance whether you would accept an exclusive license, and for how long.

Scrimdata's process

1. Answer inventory questions for an estimate (no files shared)
2. Scoping under NDA using tool list and structural metadata only
3. Contract covering scope, permitted use, retention, deletion and price
4. Automated, encrypted, region-locked transfer
5. Anonymize, validate and deliver

How it pays

unknown: structured as a written, scoped license (not a sale); price is agreed in the contract, and the page does not say upfront or revenue share.

Questions to ask before you sign

• Who signs the agreement with us, and in which state is that company registered?
• When exactly are we paid, and what has to happen first?
• Is the license exclusive? For how long, and for which uses?
• Who de-identifies the records, where, and can we review a sample of the result?
• What happens to the copy when the license ends?
