Selling Insights
Spartera lets you turn your database into a revenue stream. If you have data and analytical expertise, you can package it as an asset, publish it to the marketplace, and earn 80% of every execution — without moving your raw data anywhere.
The Seller Proposition
- 80% revenue share — you keep $0.80 of every $1.00 executed
- You control what's shared — for calculations, SQL runs inside your database and only results are returned; for data feeds, you publish only the fields you choose
- One toggle to publish — no marketplace approval process, no waiting
- Monthly automated payouts — earnings deposited directly to your bank account

Listing Optimization
The highest-performing marketplace assets share these traits:
Specific names — "30-Day Customer Churn Rate" converts 3x better than "Churn Metric"
Detailed descriptions — explain what it returns, what data it uses, how fresh the data is, and what business decision it enables
Accurate tags — buyers discover assets through search; use vertical tags (fintech, retail, healthcare), function tags (churn, forecasting, risk), and frequency tags (daily, real-time)
Sub-500ms execution — slow assets get poor ratings; optimize your SQL
What Sells Well
Based on marketplace demand signals:
- Metrics with clear business decision value (churn risk, revenue forecast, lead score)
- Assets with fresh, proprietary data not available elsewhere
- Industry-specific calculations that require domain expertise to build
- Assets that return a single, actionable number (easiest for buyers to consume)
Growing Your Revenue
Monitor Performance
Dashboard → Assets → Analytics
Key metrics: views, executions, conversion rate (target >5%), repeat buyers.
Low views → improve name, tags, and category placement
Low conversion → improve description or reduce price
Low repeat buyers → improve data freshness or add output fields
Build a Portfolio
Top sellers offer multiple complementary assets — a buyer who purchases your churn rate asset may also want your revenue forecast and customer segmentation assets.

Seller Policies
- You are responsible for the accuracy of your asset's output
- Breaking changes to output schema require a major version bump with advance notice to buyers
- Assets that consistently error or underperform may be removed from the marketplace
- Spartera retains 20% of each transaction as the platform fee
AI Training Rights on Your Content
Buyer licenses include AI and machine-learning training rights by default —
a buyer may use what they purchase to train or fine-tune models. You can
exclude specific products from that grant, and the exclusion is displayed on
the listing and presented to the buyer at purchase.
Withdrawing the grant takes effect prospectively on thirty (30) days' notice
and does not affect licenses already granted on prior purchases. See the
Platform Partner Agreement.
