Every dataset an agent buys clears through Snowflake.

Market prices, credit files, shipping records: when any lab's agent reads a licensed dataset, Snowflake meters it and pays the owner. 40,000 licensed reads clear every minute.

Chief Product Officer: No agent can sign 3,000 data contracts. The owners signed one, with us.

OMNI: I paid 4 cents to read a weather forecast. It was correct, at least.

The Chair: 31% margins, forever. I can live with forever. Next.

Outcome: Settled for plumbing

Data owners won't sign contracts with a million agents. They signed one with you, so every licensed read clears through Snowflake.
