SourceX Offers No-Upload Data Licensing Assessment for AI Training

SourceX, a Los Angeles-based company founded by CEO Noah Loul, is offering a new way for businesses to discover whether their internal records are valuable for AI training without risking sensitive data. The company's business data licensing assessment starts with a no-commitment fit check that requires only answers to a few questions—no file uploads or data exports. This addresses a common concern among leaders of established companies who are curious about the potential value of their support histories, CRM records, and engineering tickets but are hesitant to share sensitive material just to get an answer. As Loul explains, "Nobody should have to hand over their data just to learn whether it's worth something. Answer a few questions and we'll give you a straight answer on fit. If it's a yes, you stay in control of every step that follows. If it's a no, you've lost nothing."

The fit check evaluates the shape of the business rather than its contents, looking for companies that had at least 50 full-time employees at peak (excluding contractors), with a strong preference for knowledge-work companies. Businesses that are operating, acquired, or wound-down can all qualify. Geography also matters: the United States is prioritized, followed by Canada and the European Union, with other markets eligible if at least 90% of the data is in English. If a fit is found, the process moves to scoping, where the company decides which systems, records, and date ranges to include—typically from support, CRM, document, and collaboration tools. A rights review then confirms ownership and licensing rights, including any contractual limits. Only after qualification does the company sign a Master Supplier Licensing Agreement and a short Dataset Deal Confirmation for each deal. Data is not delivered until both are signed and SourceX gives the go-ahead, and large datasets can remain in the supplier's storage or ship on encrypted drives. Data is de-identified through approved processing routes before use or sharing.

SourceX currently implements organization-level access controls, private storage with short-lived links, a full audit trail, and per-deal terms. SOC 2 Type II, ISO/IEC 27001, and ISO/IEC 27701 certifications are in progress but not yet issued. Technology and business leaders can start the assessment at sourcex.si. SourceX Inc. licenses business data directly from companies for AI training and evaluation and pays them for it. Companies sign with SourceX, not with an AI lab, and SourceX manages the agreement, data preparation, and payout. Founder and CEO Noah Loul previously founded B2B Rocket, which was acquired by Blackpearl Group in 2025.
