SnowRock helps company owners explore licensing their business data and helps AI teams find companies with the records they need.
For company owners
Start with what your company creates: project files, support conversations, software histories, inspection results or service records. SnowRock discusses the records and seeks potential buyers whose requirements may fit.
You choose whether to proceed. Before an introduction, agree what company details can be shared. Before a sample, agree the intended use, access and exclusions.
How company introductions workFor data buyers
Name the task, industry, source systems, fields and permissions you need. Include Michigan when the region matters, then state how your team will judge a sample.
A commissioned search can include company research, qualification questions and progress reports under an agreed scope. Each company decides whether to discuss a license.
What a sourcing assignment includesPlanning a Michigan search
Public statistics can help a buyer choose an industry and region. The records needed to train or test a model usually require a separate conversation with the company that holds them.
Michigan’s 2026 manufacturing report counts 582,700 manufacturing workers in 2025. Automotive accounts for 28.1% of that employment. The report also separates metals and machinery activity, helping buyers define a more specific company search.
Those are workforce counts, not a count of datasets or willing sellers. A buyer testing inspection decisions needs different records from one testing machine repair. Name the process, then ask whether inspection results connect to the applicable specification, production run and service history.
Fictional manufacturing example
This proposed brief asks for records that let a model explain an inspection result using production and service history. All identifiers below are invented. This is an example of a request, not a dataset offered by SnowRock or a confirmed buyer assignment.
Inspection INS-104
Lot LOT-042 · specification REV-C
Measurement, unit, tolerance, result and inspection time. Keep the specification version used for the decision.
Run RUN-218
Lot LOT-042 · machine EQUIP-07
Operation, recorded settings, material batch and production time. Preserve the link to the inspected lot.
Work order WO-031
Machine EQUIP-07 · completed before RUN-218
Reported fault, diagnosis, repair, parts and completion time. Show when the machine returned to service.
Keep the inspector’s decision to accept, reject or rework the lot, reviewer note and approval time with INS-104. Give the model only records available when the inspector made the decision. Keep later repairs and outcomes separate for review; a matching lot or machine ID alone does not explain a defect’s cause.
The buyer should check that each ID leads to the matching record, dates stay in order, units are defined and the specification version sets the measurements and tolerances. Its reviewer can then test the model’s answer against the recorded result and decide whether to accept, revise or stop.
Before records move
Develop your requirements
These pages show fictional field-level examples and explain how records connect. Use them to describe what exists or what your team needs.
Connect an issue with code changes, reviews, tests and the accepted outcome.
Connect source documents, adjustments, reviewer notes and the approved period.
Keep a customer request, replies, relevant policy and resolution together.
No. SnowRock is based in Traverse City, Michigan, and serves U.S. companies and data buyers. A buyer can specify a region when location is relevant to its task. A search can also cover several states or the country.
A description of the business, record types, systems, date range and how related records connect. Identify who can approve a license. Leave customer names, raw records and confidential files out of the first inquiry.
There is no upfront SnowRock fee for a company introduction. The buyer pays SnowRock’s agreed introduction fee, disclosed before the deal. A commissioned search or additional paid work requires a separate written agreement stating the scope, fee and payment trigger. The buyer’s data-license payment to the owner is separate.
The owner and buyer agree and sign the license, including permitted uses, preparation, delivery and payment. The owner approves what can be shared and transfers records directly to the buyer. SnowRock coordinates introductions and discussions. Extraction, cleanup, labeling or technical delivery by SnowRock is included only if separately agreed.
Start with a description
A short description is enough for the first conversation. Keep confidential files out of the inquiry.
