Data valuation: how a company’s operating record is valued.

Short answer: a company’s operating record is valued mostly on years of operating history and how much of the real work shows in the files, then on the systems it spans, the kind of record, and clear ownership. Licenses typically run $100K to $2M. The buyer sets the price after reviewing a sample.

Try the data value calculator

The calculator gives a rough, indicative range. It is an estimate, not an offer.

Who sets the price of the record?

The buyer does. The buyer reads a sample of the record and prices it, usually within one to two weeks of a finished intake. Latopis does not price the record, and the company pays nothing to find out.

What drives the value of an operating record?

Years of operating history

The biggest driver. Years of history move the number more than raw file size, and licenses run higher for a long record. A short record may not fit a buyer yet.

How much of the real work shows in the files

Decisions, drawings, estimates and outcomes that are all in the record raise the value. Mostly routine admin files keep it lower.

How many systems hold the record

A record spread across several systems, such as email, chat, job software, CAD and the books, helps. See where the size of each system lives.

The kind of record

A mix of email, chat, files, jobs and books counts most. Job and project files, field photos, estimates, and drawings and CAD the company produced count next.

Rights and ownership

Only what the company owns can be licensed. Client-owned material comes out of scope, and unclear ownership holds the value down until you know what the company can license.

What range do licenses typically fall in?

Licenses typically land between $100K and $2M, and run higher for a long record. The buyer pays the company once the data is approved, shared, and anonymized, often net 30 to 60. Latopis is paid by the buyer only if a license closes.

How can a company make its record easier to value?

Give exact answers in the intake: which systems, how many years, and roughly how big each one is. Know what the company produced versus what a client or project owner still owns. Have the person who can sign involved early. Read how to license your operating record for the full prep.

How much is a company’s operating record typically worth?

Licenses typically land between $100K and $2M, and run higher for a long record.

Is the calculator an offer?

No. The data value calculator gives a rough, indicative range. Only a buyer who has reviewed a sample can make an offer.

Does raw data volume drive the value?

Less than you might think. Years of operating history and how much of the real work is visible in the files move the number more than raw volume.

What does a valuation cost the company?

Nothing. The buyer pays the company, and Latopis is paid by the buyer only if a license closes.
