Engineering and design firms
Engineering records show why a design changed
Design reviews, CAD, BOMs and test results. Client designs and controlled data are reviewed first.

Principles are covered in textbooks. The path a real team takes from requirement to released drawing, failed test and fixing review included, almost never is.
Beyond the change itself, your reviews, tests and revisions capture the reasoning that drove it.
Where the value usually sits
- CAD files and revisions. How parts and assemblies get modeled and toleranced.
- BOMs and calculation sheets. Sizing decisions and material choices.
- Test and simulation results. What the model said against what the test showed.
- Design review notes. Points of debate and how each was settled.
A common first question: client designs covered by NDA
Plenty of your work may be owned by clients or bound by an NDA. Your contracts decide whether any of it fits in scope, and reading them is for your counsel. Legal advice is outside what we do. Client-owned material is reviewed when the scope is set and can stay out.
Where your work involves aerospace or defense programs, export-controlled technical data is flagged and removed.
What you may exclude
- Client-owned designs. Left out by default, unless you and your counsel decide to include them.
- Export-controlled data. Marked and kept out.
- Product lines you treat as core. Exclude any project or time period.
How it runs
Complete the estimate form and, within minutes, a specialist from License Your Data rings to set a 15-minute call under NDA. License Your Data then prepares a de-identified copy of what you put in scope. You approve a sample, and only after that do buyers license the copy.
Owner FAQ
- Do we still own our IP?
- Yes. Your originals never leave your systems and remain yours. Buyers license only a de-identified copy.
- Does anyone get into our PDM vault?
- No. No passwords are asked for or shared.
- Is there anything to prepare?
- No prep at all. Just know which tools you work in and about since when, and expect no export requests.
- Is there a fee?
- No. You are not charged anything.
