72-HOUR BUYER INTAKE IS OPEN · Start a $500 feasibility sprint →

Buyer-led · rights-cleared · evaluation first

The workflows your model can’t scrape.

We turn real operational workflows into private, evaluable datasets—without asking suppliers to dump raw systems into a form.

01 Written buyer specification 02 Rights and provenance gate 03 Redacted sample evaluation 04 Controlled delivery + receipt

One marketplace. Two starting points.

What happens before any data moves

Scope before inventory

We do not collect speculative dumps. A written capability gap and dataset specification lead the process.

Rights before samples

Supplier authority, allowed uses, exclusions, retention, deletion, and revocation are made explicit before evaluation.

Receipts before claims

Sample evaluation, delivery acceptance, payment, and deletion are recorded as evidence—not inferred from a meeting.

Questions before the call

What counts as private workflow data?

Sequences that preserve how work gets done: the initial case, approved inputs, decisions, actions, outputs, and observable outcome. Examples include support resolution, field-service diagnostics, claims handling, procurement, compliance review, and finance operations.

Do you already hold raw company datasets?

No. Trace Supply is buyer-led: we define demand, qualify suppliers, verify authority, and evaluate a redacted sample before controlled extraction. This site stores qualification metadata only.

What does the $500 sprint buy?

A 72-hour feasibility package: specification, likely sources, rights path, sample schema, supplier route, budget range, key blockers, and a go/no-go recommendation. The fee is credited if the work advances into a first data transaction.

Is the supplier estimate a purchase offer?

No. It is an indicative range based on company metadata. A real offer depends on buyer fit, source volume, quality, rights, exclusions, and sample evaluation.

No raw dataset upload. Qualification metadata only. A financial commitment—not a reply or call—is the operating definition of a first deal.
