What could a machine shop license?

A quote records the expected machining time. The job traveler records what actually happened. An inspection report shows whether the finished part met spec. Linked by job number, the records can show where an estimate was right or wrong.

Questions business owners ask

Can a small business qualify? What makes one dataset more valuable than another? How is sensitive information handled? What rights and terms should we review?

Have a dataset in mind?

See what the current opportunity looks for, how the company application works, and what happens after you register. Start with a description of one workflow and keep sensitive files in-house while you review permissions.
