Protect the value of licensed data with evidence.
Use RetailHawk to run repeatable sampling and observation programmes against the licence terms you choose to test, preserving reviewed evidence and exceptions for your own commercial, legal or finance teams.
Put the terms you want to test into a published questionnaire.
RetailHawk does not contain a contract or licence register. The assurance pattern uses programme targets and questionnaires to structure the checks you choose to run.
Define scope
Translate permitted purpose, channels, dates or suppression requirements into your assessment questions.
Sample
Assign authorised testers to run the agreed observation or test scenarios.
Evidence
Capture supported screenshots, images or PDF documents alongside structured answers.
Use seeded observations as one evidence source.
A controlled Data Trace programme can provide additional observations about a seeded copy. It still does not establish liability or calculate commercial exposure.
Trace evidence
Link back to the reviewed observation and seed/copy reference configured for the programme.
Public-output checks
Use authorised testers to record relevant public outputs where that forms part of your review.
Independent review
Have a separate reviewer compare the observation with the assessment questions before release.
A bounded exceptions view, not an audit opinion.
A synthetic licensing programme can test whether observed use matches the terms selected for review, producing released exceptions with supporting evidence for a renewal or commercial discussion.
1. Configure
Define the licensee/recipient targets and published questions for the cycle.
2. Observe
Run the agreed sampling or seeded scenarios and capture evidence.
3. Review
Release only reviewed exceptions to the authorised audience.
Keep the conclusion with the accountable team.
RetailHawk does not calculate royalties, provide a financial audit opinion, operate a contract register or determine liability. It structures the evidence your teams can use in those conversations.
No royalty engine
Any royalty calculation remains outside RetailHawk.
No contract-management claim
Licence terms are assessment inputs, not a dedicated legal register.
UK hosting
Built and hosted in the UK.
Connect permitted use to evidence and review.
RetailHawk supports the monitoring and evidence workflow; it does not perform a statutory audit or automatically establish contractual liability.
