AI does the heavy lifting, people stay in charge
Use AI to interpret permitted inputs, suggest structured mappings and generate candidate outputs for the three stated task modules. Use deterministic code for arithmetic, schema validation, hard constraints and reproducible tests. Review source-linked explanations and uncertainty before accepting results. One fixed schema and licensed source set; final data quality and rights checks remain human. A model suggestion is never a verified fact, professional decision or authorization to act.
What your team sees
Primary screens: Source intake and rights, Editable preparation preview, Dataset release and delivery. Use a searchable library of sources and runs, a large central table for records and fields, and a right-hand panel for schema rules, source guidance and comments. Let users compare raw and cleaned versions side by side. Display draft, changes requested and approved states. Provide a client preview link with comments anchored to the relevant record or field. Make the task-specific outcome reviewer-approved clean structured datasets with per-field trust scores visible beside its evidence, review state and value baseline.
Accounts and administration
Project ownership, source versions, client comments, approval states, usage allowances, revision limits, download history and a rights record for supplied material. Add organization access boundaries, named reviewers, usage caps, data retention controls, export logs and explicit approval for external actions.
Integrations and data access
Customer-owned source repositories, authorized APIs and permitted public sources. Cloud storage, ML frameworks and data warehouses. Start with file exchange and validate destination specifications before promising direct pipeline integration. Start with authorized file exchange. Validate current provider access, usage rights and schema behavior before promising a connector.
How we build it
We build with our own AI software development factory, so most implementations take days to a few weeks of creation time, not months. You see working software at every step, and exact timing depends on availability.

Why we start with an MVP
An MVP, or minimum viable product, is the smallest version that your users can actually work with. It is not a cheap version of the full solution. It is a test, built to answer the questions that decide whether the rest is worth building.
- Pick the riskiest assumption. Here: will data and ML engineers preparing raw sources for model training and LLM workflows use it to solve "raw sources arrive unclean, unstructured and untrusted, so teams rebuild cleaning, extraction and validation steps for every model run"?
- Build only what tests it. One team, one use case, a few core modules. People do the rest by hand for now.
- Run a paid pilot. Agree quality and outcome thresholds before the pilot using this measure: Accepted dataset records per preparation hour and downstream model errors traced to data defects.
- Measure, then decide. Track accepted dataset records per preparation hour and downstream model errors traced to data defects; accepted-output rate; material error rate; reviewer correction time; actual repeat purchase. Then expand, change course or stop, with evidence instead of opinions.
MVP scope for this solution. Pilot scope: One fixed schema and licensed source set; final data quality and rights checks remain human. Implement one approved input format, a bounded representative case set and the first two task modules: ingest licensed raw sources and record usage rights; clean and normalize raw records against declared schema rules. Support the third module with operator review: generate synthetic records for underrepresented cases. Include source references, corrections, basic organization access, approval states, export and value measurement. Use managed operator assistance for unresolved exceptions. The cost estimate covers this narrow prototype, not unrestricted multi-tenant scale, complex production integrations, specialist certification or physical operations.
After the MVP. Once paid pilots prove usefulness, automate repeatable reviewed steps and add one verified source integration. Expand supported inputs and case volume only after new evaluation cases pass. Build reusable customer configurations and recurring value reports around reviewer-approved clean structured datasets with per-field trust scores. Retain the explicit scope boundary: One fixed schema and licensed source set; final data quality and rights checks remain human.
What the build depends on. Source upload and preview, asynchronous processing jobs, editable version history, reviewer access and tested export formats. High-fidelity preparation requires specialist data QA. Obtain representative authorized cases, baseline measurements, qualified reviewers and a buyer-side decision owner. Specific limitation: One fixed schema and licensed source set; final data quality and rights checks remain human.

Pricing to test
Test a USD 300-1,500 fixed pilot for one defined source package. Offer a monthly preparation allowance after repeat demand. Quote complex multi-source or specialist extraction separately. These are test prices, not market benchmarks. Package the initial sale as one bounded reviewer-approved clean structured dataset with per-field trust scores. Recurring fees must specify volume, review depth and integration support. For exchanges, test a disclosed coordination or successful-service fee rather than holding customer funds. Reprice only after measuring real delivery labor; platform-build cost is separate from a commercial pilot fee.
Message to test
Reduce repeated data-preparation work while keeping source rights and review visible. Demonstrate a concrete reviewer-approved clean structured dataset with per-field trust scores using the buyer's approved example and show the baseline, corrections and actual delivery effort.
Where to find buyers
Data and ML engineer professional communities; specialist data consultants serving this buyer; permissioned partner introductions; practical demonstrations at relevant data or ML practitioner events.
Lead magnet
A reviewed sample reviewer-approved clean structured dataset with per-field trust scores from a small authorized input set, with a transparent calculation of accepted dataset records per preparation hour and downstream model errors traced to data defects and no promised savings.
The first 30 days
- Week 1: interview five data and ML engineers preparing raw sources for model training and LLM workflows and inspect a recent example of raw sources arriving unclean, unstructured and untrusted, so teams rebuild cleaning, extraction and validation steps for every model run.
- Week 2: prepare a consented or synthetic demonstration of the three task modules.
- Week 3: seek one bounded paid pilot with agreed baseline and acceptance criteria.
- Week 4: measure accepted dataset records per preparation hour and downstream model errors traced to data defects, reviewer effort and repeat-purchase interest. This is a demand-validation plan, not a thirty-day full-product delivery promise.
Paid pilot
Agree quality and outcome thresholds before the pilot using this measure: Accepted dataset records per preparation hour and downstream model errors traced to data defects. Continue only if the buyer accepts the actual output, the intended job outcome improves without unacceptable errors, and measured delivery cost fits willingness to pay. Revise or stop if access is unavailable, qualified review cannot be provided, or apparent savings disappear after corrections and support. Use held-out cases when comparing model quality; use a properly reviewed comparison design before making causal claims. Record missing cases and negative results alongside successful outputs.
Success metrics
Accepted dataset records per preparation hour and downstream model errors traced to data defects; accepted-output rate; material error rate; reviewer correction time; actual repeat purchase.
Retention and expansion
Repeat the workflow when the buyer again needs reviewer-approved clean structured datasets with per-field trust scores. Retain permissioned settings and reviewed examples, report realized value honestly, and sell increased volume or adjacent approved workflows only after contribution margin and quality remain acceptable.
Why clients would pick it
A reusable library of approved schemas, source rules and review examples, together with reliable delivery for a narrow data niche. Build a permissioned library of representative task cases, reviewer corrections and verified operating constraints for data and ML engineers preparing raw sources for model training and LLM workflows. Repeatable delivery and useful integrations matter more than access to a base model.
Alternatives and positioning
DataFuel.dev, Geekflare Scraping API v2 and Web Search Agents by Nimble, plus internal scripts and generic ETL tools. Compare this product with the buyer's present method on accepted dataset records per preparation hour and downstream model errors traced to data defects. Offer a bounded paid workflow instead of claiming broad autonomous expertise. Market uniqueness and competitor coverage are not verified.
Main delivery costs
Extraction attempts, model context, storage, reviewer hours, client revision rounds and licensed source access. Additional initial validation requires representative authorized sample preparation, buyer interviews, buyer-side evaluation and bounded validation of reviewer-approved clean structured datasets with per-field trust scores. Track cost per accepted output, including correction work, unsuccessful cases and support.
Safeguards
Preserve source attribution, usage permissions and data protection. Named owners approve schema changes, dataset releases and downstream use. One fixed schema and licensed source set; final data quality and rights checks remain human. Keep all consequential actions under authorized human control and do not fabricate missing inputs, permissions, professional judgments or market evidence.
