Turn the data your business already holds into a commercial asset.

Use the data you already have to create new commercial opportunities — revenue streams, products, and recurring services.

Citric Sheep helps assess the data asset, shape the first credible data product hypothesis, test buyer demand, and build only when the commercial case is clear.

Where we start

Rights & Asset Pre-Read

US$9,500 fixed · 1 week

Assess one non-personal B2B dataset before paying for buyer validation or a product build.

  • An asset review covering provenance, rights, quality, coverage, and refresh requirements
  • Initial buyer and product hypotheses, with the gaps that need testing
  • A written recommendation on whether the dataset is ready for buyer validation

The fee is fully credited toward the US$65,000 validation sprint if you proceed. You can stop after the pre-read and keep its findings.

Good fit

For companies with valuable data that has not become a product yet.

This fits companies that control non-personal B2B data, research, or operational records with potential buyers. We establish rights and readiness before testing demand or scoping a product.

  • Research, testing, market intelligence, and specialist firms sitting on structured records buyers already value
  • Operational platforms with proprietary activity, transaction, pricing, logistics, or utilisation data
  • Companies with unique regional, sector, technical, or workflow datasets that are difficult for others to recreate
  • Leadership teams that suspect the data has commercial value but need evidence before funding a build

When it matters

The data has value, but the product is still unclear.

The first useful project usually starts where the company can see commercial potential, but still needs evidence before funding a platform, API, portal, or recurring service.

You have proprietary data, but no dedicated team to commercialise it

Customers repeatedly ask for information that still gets delivered as reports, spreadsheets, or consulting work

The data might support a recurring product, but the buyer, package, and pricing are still unclear

You need a disciplined way to test demand before building a portal, API, or data service

What we build

A commercial verdict before a heavy build.

The first useful output is a clear answer on whether the data can become a product, who would buy it, what the package should be, and what needs to be true before building.

  • A data asset audit covering uniqueness, coverage, freshness, quality, rights, and current commercial use
  • Buyer hypotheses, sample outputs, pricing options, and documented outreach to 25–40 named buyers during validation
  • A build/no-build recommendation before a portal, API, report product, or data service is scoped
  • A path to a buyer-ready product where market signal, data rights, and product shape are strong enough
01

Data asset audit

We review uniqueness, quality, freshness, coverage, rights, privacy constraints, and where the data is already used commercially.

02

Buyer and product hypotheses

We define likely buyer segments, use cases, sample outputs, product forms, delivery model, and commercial framing.

03

Demand validation

In the paid validation sprint, we contact named buyers with samples and pricing, log the evidence, and deliver a BUILD, WATCH, or STOP verdict.

04

Buyer-ready build path

If signal is strong, we scope the portal, API, reporting product, intelligence layer, or recurring data service around the validated package.

If you proceed

Test buyer demand before funding a build.

The First-Buyer Verdict is a six-week validation sprint priced at US$65,000, including the credited pre-read fee: US$55,500 remains after the pre-read. We prepare samples and pricing, contact 25–40 named buyers, and deliver a written BUILD, WATCH, or STOP verdict. Each phase is paid for its work, regardless of the verdict.

Acceptance and guarantees

  • A documented buyer thread includes a named organisation, a relevant contact, tailored materials, at least two follow-ups, and a logged outcome. Buyer replies, sales, and a date for first revenue are not guaranteed.
  • If we deliver fewer than 25 documented threads, you choose free continuation capped at 10 person-days or a pro-rata fee reduction or refund capped at US$9,000. The final 20% is due at verdict handover.
  • A BUILD verdict requires at least three documented buyer commitments against criteria agreed before outreach. WATCH requires dated re-engagement evidence; inconclusive results mean STOP. A STOP verdict includes US$15,000 credit toward a CS engagement of at least US$20,000 within 12 months.
