Arkandis / approach
Private data, cleared for training.
We cover five modalities — audio, egocentric video, code, company operations, and medical — each cleared through the same process: sourced directly from the owner or manufactured to your spec, with a provenance record attached to every item. Samples available before you commit, delivered on strict SLAs. Want to see what’s actually available? Request the inventory and we’ll share samples and data cards.
01Process
Three stages, one accountable path.
Sourced from the owner, or manufactured to spec.
Every dataset enters through the company that generated it, holds title to it, and can warrant both — or, when it doesn’t exist yet, we capture it to your spec from scratch. No brokers, no unknown-origin inventory. We verify rights, consent, third-party IP, and jurisdiction before anything moves; what can’t be cleared is cut, not caveated.
- Owner-sourced or built to spec
- Title, consent & IP verified
- Reviewed against GDPR, CCPA, GLBA
- Failed records cut, not caveated
Prepared, and proven against your spec.
Personal details stripped, duplicates removed, benchmarks kept out, with a provenance manifest on every record. We sample the set against your spec and let you test it before you commit to the full corpus.
- De-identified, second-team verified
- Deduplicated against public crawls
- Screened for eval contamination
- Sample & test before you commit
Licensed and delivered under SLA.
Licenses are structured around how the data will actually be used — training, fine-tuning, derivative models — with negotiated warranties and indemnities your counsel can sign. Delivered in the formats training teams use, in the shortest time possible, under strict SLA control.
- Exclusive & non-exclusive structures
- Negotiated warranties & indemnities
- JSONL, Parquet, WebDataset
- Delivered under strict SLA
02Standards
Consent-first
We don’t scrape, and we don’t buy from aggregators. Every dataset enters through an owner who participates knowingly.
Documented provenance
Every dataset records where it came from, who consented, and under what terms — auditable throughout the license.
Privacy engineering
De-identification happens before transfer and is verified independently of the team that did the work.
Secure custody
Custody terms are written into every license: access-controlled handling from intake to delivery, encrypted transfer, and deletion at expiry.
03Data owners
Your data is worth more than you think.
Value built from years of collecting, organizing, and maintaining it. You keep full ownership; we only license the AI training rights, not the underlying IP. Our team handles negotiation, privacy protections, and de-identification, so it takes minimal effort on your end.
- You earn on data you already own
- You retain full IP — we license AI training rights only
- Privacy protections handled by our team, start to finish
04Questions
The questions that come up first.
Do you buy data outright, or license it?
We license it or manufacture it to spec. All data is licensed exclusively for AI training, whether sourced from the owner or built new to your requirements.
How long does licensing take?
For off-the-shelf data, the whole licensing process takes a couple of days. For anything built to spec, timelines depend on the complexity and scale of the data — we’ll give you a firm estimate once we scope the request.
Everything else is easier to answer on a call.
