AI data sourcing

Specialist data, sourced from the businesses that hold it.

For AI teams that need proprietary, hard-to-obtain business data, Haselpin investigates the requirement, identifies potential data owners and coordinates a path to licensing.

For AI teams

Data that isn't on the open web.

Much of the knowledge that would make a model genuinely useful in a specialist domain sits inside businesses: in job records, inspection reports, technical files, support histories and the judgement of experienced staff. It isn't published, scraped or sold through conventional data marketplaces.

Haselpin works from your requirement outwards. We identify the kinds of organisations most likely to hold the data, approach them, and help establish whether, and on what terms, it could be licensed for your intended use.

Who we work with

Built around the buyer's requirement.

  • AI labs and foundation-model developersSpecialist domain coverage for pre-training, post-training and evaluation that general web data can't provide.
  • Training-data vendorsAdditional sources for client programmes where proprietary, real-world material is required.
  • Vertical AI companiesIndustry-specific records and examples to fine-tune and evaluate models for a particular sector or workflow.

What we can help source

Specialist business data, in many forms.

  • Structured business recordsOperational, transactional and maintenance records held in business systems.
  • Technical documentsSpecifications, manuals, reports, drawings and procedures.
  • Operational workflowsSequences of real decisions and actions, such as tickets, job flows and approvals.
  • Images and videoInspection, product, site or process imagery captured in the course of work.
  • Expert-generated examplesAnnotations, judgements and worked examples from domain specialists.
  • Evaluation datasetsHeld-out, domain-specific material for measuring model performance.

What to expect

Clear about what is, and isn't, known.

Haselpin doesn't operate a ready-made catalogue. Each engagement starts with a requirement and an investigation. Availability depends on finding organisations that hold suitable data, have the authority to license it and are willing to do so on workable terms.

We'll tell you early if a route looks unlikely, and we won't describe data as available until that has been confirmed with the organisation that holds it.
