How listing works

For owners: from an application to a listed deal sheet, a licence and a payout.

Updated 15 Oct 2026

Listing takes nine steps and one decision. Nothing identifiable leaves your systems before you sign off on a de-identified sample, and you're paid on each licence.

A rights problem doesn't end the deal. It loops back to review once the notices or contracts are fixed.

The steps

  1. Apply. Use the owner form or the value estimator. Say what you hold, roughly how much, and which rights you hold.
  2. Rights review. Quarry checks who owns the recordings or studies, your customer notices and consent terms, your contracts with your own clients, and any approvals a hospital needs.
  3. Rights clear? If something is missing (a notice, a clause, an approval), we tell you what would fix it and review again.
  4. At-source de-identification. Quarry's pipeline runs inside your environment. See Installing the at-source agent.
  5. Sign-off. You review and approve a de-identified sample before anything is exported.
  6. Listed. The dataset gets a deal sheet. Your organisation is described by type (for example "Tier-1 healthcare BPO") and is named to a buyer only after an NDA.
  7. NDA sample. A lab evaluates a sample under the sample NDA.
  8. Licence. You set the terms: exclusive or not, permitted use, territory, term, and buyers you exclude.
  9. Delivery and payout. The lab receives the data with a manifest, and you're paid your revenue share on the schedule in your supplier agreement.
