dominant 'regulatory', sector mobility, 2 specific types
How sharply the data targets a specific, hard-to-substitute domain or task. Niche, well-defined data scores higher than generic. - Dataset Rarity70
proprietary domain data
How scarce and proprietary the data is. Unique domain data scores high; openly available data lowers it. - Dataset Volume46
2 evidence hits
Apparent scale of the data, inferred from the number of evidence hits and any explicit volume mentions. - Dataset Freshness46
periodic
How current the data stays — real-time/streaming scores highest, periodic dumps lower. - Training Value74
fit for Regulatory RAG
How useful the data is for the target AI use-case — its fit for model training or fine-tuning. - Buyer Demand85
AI buyer demand is very high, driven by the need for automation and efficiency in the global trade management software market, which is expanding at a significant 12.0% CAGR.
How strongly AI builders and companies are likely to want this data, based on market signals. - Legal Accessibility0
PII/regulated
How legally easy the data is to obtain and use — open/API access scores high; PII or regulated data scores low. - Acquisition Feasibility0
medium difficulty, independent
How realistic it is to actually obtain the data, given access difficulty and the holder's corporate structure. - Evidence Strength50
2 evidence types, 2 hits
How solid the proof is that the company holds this data — diversity of evidence types and number of hits. - Right to License36
ownership=mixed, licensing=rights_unclear
Whether the company can legally license the data out — based on ownership and licensing complexity. - Corporate Independence90
independent
Whether the holder can decide alone — an independent company scores higher than a subsidiary of a large group. - Data Orientation39

How actively the company invests in data, measured by its data-appetite signals (hires, products, APIs…). - Dormant Data Surplus92
surplus=high — proprietary data beyond what's already monetised
Volume and value of proprietary data this company holds BEYOND what it already monetises — the dormant surplus we can unlock. A company can sell some insights AND still sit on a far larger dormant asset. - ICP Audit100
