Decant / Datasets to license

Datasets to acquire or license, by domain and coverage

Find a dataset to buy or license: domain, fields, coverage, history, refresh cadence and intended use, specified so a vendor can say whether it has it.

Write the specification

Specify

Fill in the data you need below and send it.

What it is for

Analysts and model builders often know exactly what data they need (permits by parcel, freight rates by lane, store-level foot traffic) but not who sells it, under what licence, or whether it exists at the coverage required. The licence matters as much as the fields: internal analysis, a commercial product and model training are priced and permitted differently. Set out the fields, coverage, history, refresh cadence and intended use so a data vendor can tell you whether it has it and on what licence.

Who uses it

Data scientists and analysts, quantitative researchers, product teams building on third-party data, AI developers seeking licensed training data, and procurement staff buying data.

What you get

A reference number, a specification of the data you need (domain, fields, coverage, history, refresh and use) vendors can answer, and a reply when we find a source.

Who runs it, and what it costs

Scope

Any coverage; the geography of the data is recorded as stated.

Datasets of personal information about individuals are recorded only as a stated need; nothing is collected or traded.
Licence terms are recorded as your requirement; nothing here interprets a licence.
