Data & preparation
Preparing an AI data assessment sample — AI Data Monetization
ANSWER IN BRIEF
Prepare the smallest approved sample that can answer the agreed AI use question. Explain its selection, structure and limits so feedback is meaningful.
Agree the task and review decision
Ask whether the recipient is evaluating relevance, context, annotation requirements or technical compatibility. Describe the expected output of the review and the next decision it supports. Do not treat a generic request for data as a complete sample specification. Name the intended recipient and clarify which actions are permitted during the review period.
Choose examples deliberately
Include the record categories, periods and exceptions relevant to the proposed use. State whether the sample is representative or a curated illustration. Keep linked inputs and outcomes together where the task requires them. A highly selected set of successful cases can be useful for demonstration, but its limits must remain visible when discussing the wider collection.
Review preparation and permissions
Have the appropriate company owners check confidentiality, third-party material and information about individuals. Identify transformations needed for sharing and whether they preserve task-relevant context. If labels are included, explain how they were produced. Removing names alone does not establish permission for a new use, and extensive redaction may change what the sample can demonstrate.
Package it for actionable feedback
Include a readme, field definitions, selection notes and known gaps. Ask the reviewer to respond against the agreed task rather than offering only a general impression. Record requests for additional evidence before expanding the sample. DataVal’s initial calculator does not require raw records; later sampling should support a qualified buyer or broker discussion with a specific purpose.
