What this means for data owners
Before assessing technical fitness, list the promises attached to the records. Compare them with the actual proposed recipient and use. Where there is a mismatch or ambiguity, resolve it with qualified reviewers before release.
What it does not establish
This source does not value your dataset, establish a right to license it or confirm buyer demand. The practical implications above are editorial interpretation, not a statement of the source publisher’s commercial position.
