Gridfile

The archive you stopped opening
is worth something now.

AI teams need to see how real work is done, and it is not on the internet. It is in your tickets, files and correspondence. Gridfile licenses that record from the people and companies who own it, takes the personal data out first, and pays for it.

Why anyone would pay for it

The records you kept to run the business are the part of the world AI models have never been shown.

How the work got done

Models have read the public internet. They have never seen the inside of a claims queue, a dispatch desk or a matter file. Your archive has.

The cases that did not fit

The value is in the exceptions: the escalation, the override, the thread that settled it. Nobody can write that from scratch, so it has to come from work that happened.

Years of it, in one place

One organisation seen across several systems and several years is rare. A buyer cannot commission it. Someone has to have done the work first.

What you might already have

Anything where judgement got written down while the work was being done. If you are unsure, describe it and we will tell you.

WHAT LEAVES, AND WHAT DOES NOT

You license the shape of the work. The people in it stay private.

What a buyer gets

  • The steps, decisions and exceptions in how a piece of work was done
  • The text of documents and correspondence, with personal data replaced
  • How it connects: which request led to which reply, review or decision

What never leaves

  • Names, emails, phone numbers, account and health details of anyone in it
  • Passwords, keys and credentials
  • Source code
  • Anything your contracts do not let you license
How we handle an archive while we hold it

How it works from your side

Four steps, and you can stop after any of them. Nothing is licensed until you sign.

removed triggerstepstepdecideresolvedexception licensed
01

Tell us what you have

Which systems, which years, roughly how much. Then a small sample, under an NDA if you want one. No agreement is needed to start.

02

Personal data comes out first

Names, contact details, account and health information are removed before a person reads anything. You get the log of what was taken out.

03

We rebuild it and a buyer looks

We find the workflows inside the sample and show them to the teams who need them. The price comes from what they say, not from a guess.

04

You set the terms and get paid

A fixed price, a share of what the licence earns, or both. Scope, exclusivity and how long it runs are yours to decide.

IF THE COMPANY HAS CLOSED

The last asset is usually the archive. It gets deleted with the last invoice.

When a company winds down, the workspace, the ticket system and the shared drive are switched off as the subscriptions lapse. Founders, administrators and acquirers can license that record instead, and the proceeds go wherever the rest of the estate goes.

We work to the wind-down timeline, and we can take a snapshot before the accounts close so nothing has to be decided in a hurry.

What owners ask first

If yours is not here, ask it. A question costs nothing.

Will anyone see my customers' or my staff's personal data?

No. Personal data is removed before a person reads the archive, and replaced with consistent placeholders so the workflow still makes sense. The log of what was removed comes back to you.

Do I lose the data?

No. A licence is permission to use a copy for a stated purpose. You keep your own records, and the agreement says what the copy may be used for and when it ends.

What does it cost me?

Nothing. We do the inventory, the removal and the review. If a buyer does not want what you have, you have spent an afternoon describing it.

Who ends up using it?

Teams building AI models that do real work in your field. We do not name buyers without their agreement, and the licence can exclude uses or buyers you object to.

What if my contracts restrict what I can share?

Counsel reads the customer contracts, employment agreements and assignments. Anything encumbered is carved out rather than quietly included.

Do you buy source code?

Not at the moment. We are looking for the record of work: tickets, files, correspondence, decisions and the reasoning behind them.

Tell us what you have.

A company archive, a closed company's records, or the documents from your own career.
