What makes a record valuable

Depth of history

30%

Years of records and how many people contributed to them. Ten years of a twenty-person team beats a single big project.

Reasoning captured

30%

Change orders, review threads, protocol revisions, failed experiments and stop or continue decisions. The thinking between files is what models cannot get elsewhere.

Domain scarcity

20%

Specialized fields with little public data, such as tooling, assay development or materials characterization, command a premium.

Completeness and rights

20%

An unbroken record you clearly own is worth more. Closed firms often qualify for higher offers for this reason.

Measurement

Use PostHog to measure page visits, how people move through our business and expert applications, errors, and page speed. PostHog sets a cookie with a random visitor ID. No form answers, contact details, advertising, or session replay.

Advertising

Allow Meta Pixel and LinkedIn Insight Tag to measure visits and funnel actions, connect them to ads, and help personalize ads on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. These providers receive page URLs, browser information, and event details. When you submit a business or expert application, our server also sends LinkedIn a one-way SHA-256 hash of your email address, the submission time and reference, and LinkedIn’s click ID if you came from a LinkedIn ad, so LinkedIn can match the submission to an ad. We do not send your name, phone number, or other form answers. We also save how you reached us (campaign link, ad network, referring site, landing page) with your application.
