Short answer
A operational dataset is valuable when it is scarce, large, specialized, high-quality, historically deep and available to license with documented rights — and when it matches what AI developers are building now.
Value drivers#
Scarcity, depth, expertise, structure, rights and demand.
What lowers value#
Unclear rights, heavy personal data, inconsistency.
- 01Your work records
