Data licensing, in plain English.

29 terms you will hear when you license business records.

A

Anonymisation: Data that can no longer be linked to a person by any reasonable means. Removing names alone does not achieve it.
Ask: The price a seller may set for a listing. It is optional, and buyers see it on the card.

Bid window: The time a listing takes bids: 14 days from listing. The seller may extend it once.

Card: The de-identified summary of a listing that buyers see. The seller reads and approves it before it shows.

Data licence: Written permission for a buyer to use an agreed copy of your records for agreed purposes. You keep ownership of the original records.
Dataset: A defined set of records prepared for a task, with a description of what it contains and what was left out.
De-identification: Removing or replacing details that identify people or companies, such as names, emails, and account numbers.
De-identified: Names, addresses, and one-of-a-kind figures are removed from what buyers see. Removing names does not make records anonymous.
Deal partner: The partner a business named as the one who brought it to Korra. Paid a share of Korra’s fee when its deal closes.

Evaluation: A test that checks how well an AI system does a task, using examples with a known good result. Also called an eval.
Exclusive licence: You agree not to license the same records to anyone else, for a set time or a set use.

Listing: One coherent package of records a seller offers on the Korra marketplace, described in the seller's own words.

Manifest: A summary of a dataset for buyers: sources, dates, record counts, fields, and exclusions. It describes the data without sharing it.

Net 30: Payment is due 30 days after the agreed trigger, such as delivery or invoice. The trigger is set in the written terms.
Non-exclusive licence: You may license the same records to more than one buyer. Each agreement says what that buyer may do.

Partner line: The three partners above a deal partner, each one the person whose partner link the one below signed up through. Paid a smaller share by level.
Partner points: The credit a partner receives the day Korra is paid its fee, one point to the dollar, cashed out within seven days.
Partner pool: A share of every fee Korra receives, split among every partner who closed a deal in the last 12 months.
Permitted use: The specific things a buyer may do with the records, such as training or testing an AI system. Anything else needs new permission.
Practice environment: A simulated workplace where an AI agent tries tasks and gets scored. Realistic records help it look like real work.
Pseudonymisation: Replacing identifiers with labels while a separate key could link them back. It reduces risk but is not full anonymity.

Record: One item of work history, such as an email thread, a support ticket, a deal note, or a document.
Replacement label: A stand-in such as Person 17 or Company 04, used the same way every time so the work still makes sense.

Sample review: A buyer checks a small, agreed set of prepared records before a full agreement. The terms of the sample are agreed first.
Sealed bid: An offer for a listing that only the seller sees. Each buyer sees only their own bids. A bid is an offer, not a contract.
Seller link: A partner’s link for a business they have spoken with. It lives three days; the business’s click names the partner.
Source inventory: A short list of where your records live, how far back they go, who owns them, and any limits on sharing.

Terms sheet: A summary of an accepted bid. It names the seller and the buyer to each other for the first time. It is not a contract.
Training data: Examples an AI system learns from. Complete examples of real work teach more than isolated messages.
