Data Providers
Your Research. Our Platform. Shared Revenue.
Are You a Research Organization with Valuable Data?
If you produce independent corporate sustainability data — through company interviews, surveys, or direct engagement — you already have something institutional investors need. What you may not have is a commercial platform to reach them.
That is what As You Know provides. By joining the AYK Data Partner Program, you activate your data commercially without building a sales team, a licensing platform, or an API. We handle all of that. You focus on the research.
What Partners Get
Technical Integration
We normalize, QA, and maintain your dataset on the AYK platform — built around your specific data structure and methodology.
Your Own Profile Page
You get a dedicated, branded page on asyouknow.com — visible to our full institutional client base.
Platform Backend
We build and host the infrastructure that makes your data discoverable, licensable, and API-accessible to buyers.
Joint Sales & Outreach
AYK handles all client acquisition, contract negotiation, and account management. You receive a share of every deal we close using your data.
Revenue Share — 50/50
Licensing revenue from AYK-secured clients is split equally. Your share within the provider pool is weighted by your dataset score: coverage, KPIs, update frequency, and research methodology.
Quarterly Reporting
Transparent, auditable revenue reports every quarter — Q1 through Q4. Payment within 30 days of your invoice on net-30 terms.
Transparent by Design
AYK takes 50% of gross licensing fees to cover platform operations, sales, and maintenance. The remaining 50% is distributed to data providers proportionally, based on a scoring framework that rewards quality.
If a licensee purchases access to a specific dataset only, 100% of the provider share goes to that dataset's provider. Quarterly reports are issued within 30 days of each quarter end. Payment follows within 30 days of your invoice.
What We Look For
Original research — not resold or scraped from third-party aggregators
Coverage of at least 100 publicly traded companies
Clear, documented methodology
Regular updates — annual minimum, quarterly preferred
Alignment with corporate sustainability and accountability themes
AI-scraped data without human quality assurance is not accepted
