Company records. Evaluated.
The Gray Systems acquires company archives that meet its standard. Submit what you hold. We tell you whether it qualifies. If it does, you receive a written validation offer. If it does not, or if you decline, the process ends.

Stop before you cancel the software. We run the exports for you, seal the archive in a Cloudflare vault, and give you a custody receipt. Then you cancel.
Still Operating
Give us the older years already in cold storage. Keep the active years, the current team and current clients.
Trustees and Wind-Down Advisors
We take custody with court approval, preserve the full record, and issue a written validation offer if the archive passes evaluation.
To be evaluated, an archive needs:
- Three or more years of operation.
- 25 or more people working in the systems.
- Business email, chat, tickets, CRM, accounting or private code.
- Someone with the legal right to sign.
- Raw, untouched exports.
Meeting the baseline gets the archive evaluated. It does not guarantee an offer.
Evaluate.
Tell us the systems, years and headcount. We review the inventory, confirm who has the right to sign, and tell you plainly whether the archive qualifies.
Preserve.
We run the exports through a temporary access seat you can switch off anytime. We never ask for passwords. HR, payroll and legal files are sealed on arrival, and every file is fingerprinted.
Decide.
If the archive qualifies, you receive a written validation offer. Accept and you're paid. Walk away and you keep the preserved archive and its receipt. No invoice.
Every name, email and client identifier is removed before any record is used. It's written into every contract, and you sign off on a cleaned sample first.
We never name the companies we evaluate or pay.
Every file is fingerprinted with our open-source verifier.
We've seen The Gray.
We've worked every side of the data business. We watched company records traded with employee names still inside them, and founders cornered on the worst day of their lives. So we built a hard floor: personal files sealed on day one, every file fingerprinted, nothing moves until you sign.
