The records you already keep anyway.
Buyers aren't looking for anything special. Ten years of travelers, inspection reports and downtime logs from an ordinary job shop is exactly what they want. AI is moving off the screen and onto the shop floor, and almost none of that history is public.
Nothing touches the floor.
Exports come from systems you already run: ERP, MES, quality, maintenance. No installs, no downtime, nobody touches a machine.
Customer details come out first.
Customer names, part numbers and anything under NDA are removed or masked before anything moves. You approve exactly what goes.
Licensed, not sold.
You keep everything and keep using it. The buyer gets anonymized access on terms you sign.
Fast, and nothing up front.
A call the same day, usually a concrete offer within about 48 hours. No cost to explore.
Questions
The questions everyone asks.
Public internet text has been exhausted. What labs can't get anywhere else is a real company operating over years: the email threads, tickets, contracts and call logs that show how decisions actually get made. Ordinary work, done for a long time, is exactly the material they're licensing now.
