What licensing questions should a buyer raise before starting a pilot?

**How is the material licensed?** Licence terms are agreed per engagement. Raise the questions that matter to you early, so they shape the scope.

**What should I ask about the licence?**

- Permitted uses: training, fine-tuning, evaluation, internal research, or some mix. - Whether the licence covers models trained on the material and their outputs. - Whether the data may be shared with contractors, or published in part, such as in a benchmark. - How long you may keep it, and what happens at the end of a term. - Whether updates and regenerated versions are included.

**Is the data real?** No. It is generated, synthetic material informed by direct observation of how businesses operate. It does not contain real business records.

**Does generated data remove privacy or compliance obligations?** No. A licence does not make your own privacy, legal or regulatory review unnecessary. Generated output can still resemble real patterns, so inspect grounding and disclosure risk on a sample and decide what your own policies require.

**Can I publish results that use it?** That depends on the terms agreed. If you plan to publish a benchmark or a paper, say so at the start.

**Are prices or turnaround times stated here?** None are stated in this content. They are set in discussion for your scope.

**What is a sensible first step?** Ask whether a small sample can be provided for evaluation under agreed terms, run your checks on it, then decide on the next scope.
