Finding distinctive data in ordinary business work

Distinctiveness often comes from context: a rare decision, a difficult exception or a reliably measured result. It does not require an unusual software platform.

Look for scarce observations

Review where your team handles cases that generic instructions do not cover. Examples might include equipment failures, difficult support escalations or expert inspection judgments. These are hypothetical categories, not evidence of demand.

Connect expertise to outcomes

An expert answer is more interpretable when its inputs, reasoning context and subsequent outcome are available. Identify whether disagreement, corrections and failed attempts were retained. Explain how conclusions were validated.

Describe the gap it fills

Write a specific proposed use case and identify what a buyer would need to test it. Document coverage and selection bias. A distinctive collection may still be too narrow, restricted or expensive to prepare for the proposed purpose.

Practical guidance, not legal advice or a buyer specification. Examples are illustrative. Reviewed October 20, 2026.
