What is on offer across the market, read every day.
Brokers and marketplaces each publish the data they have for sale in their own catalogue. We read them every morning and put every lot side by side: what kind of data, which industry, how many years, which systems, and whether the rights are settled. It is the supply your data competes with when it goes to a buyer.
Where company records are scarce
A buyer who wants a company's records from one industry chooses among the lots on offer from it. Where there are few, the archive that arrives has few alternatives beside it, and that is the strongest position a holder can be in. Where there are many, the lot with settled rights, a longer history and records linked across more systems is the one that gets bought.
The counts are of companies' own records brokered for sale, by the industry their catalogue gives. What each kind of company holds, in its own terms, is on what labs buy.

What sets a lot apart
Of the brokered lots, this share say the owner holds the rights with nothing left to confirm; 62% still have conditions or consent to confirm. A buyer prices the work it would take to clear them. A holder who arrives with the rights already settled stands apart from most of the market. What settling them takes.
Of the brokered lots are ready now; the rest need weeks of export, are on request, or are still to be collected. Knowing exactly what your exports hold, before a buyer asks, shortens the sale. Measure yours on your own computer.
Is the middle span of the companies' records on offer, from 4 families of records in the middle (conversations, documents, tickets, finance and so on). More years and more systems that refer to each other are what buyers pay more for. Why linkage matters.
Every lot
As each catalogue describes it, in this site's terms, with the catalogue's own words a click away. We do not hold, sell or vouch for these lots; each catalogue's page is the place to ask about one.
511 lots, longest history first. Each links to its catalogue's own page.
New and gone
A lot that leaves its catalogue was sold, withdrawn or relisted. Read daily, the departures are the nearest public sign of what this market is actually buying, and the arrivals show who is bringing what to it.
How it is read
Every morning the index reads each catalogue whole: 3 so far. Each catalogue's own labels are kept beside ours, and ours map them to the same kinds of data, industries and families of records the valuation uses, so a holder's data and the lots around it are measured alike. A lot missing from a reading is marked gone only when the rest of that catalogue was read; a catalogue that cannot be read keeps its lots as they were.

No holder is named here: catalogues describe their lots without the holder's name, and the index keeps it that way. Every daily reading is its own record.
