Commercial Data Infrastructure for modern government missions
Grist Mill’s Commercial Data Infrastructure gives government organizations the vendor relationships, licensing frameworks, workflows, APIs, and business processes required to use commercial data at scale.
Commercial Data is Mission-Critical.
Putting It to Work Is Still Too Hard.
The data a mission needs almost always exists. The challenge is getting the right data into the government's hands in a form it can trust, use, and keep.
The Solution
Grist Mill fixes that.
Discover, acquire, and operationalize commercial data without rebuilding the underlying infrastructure every time platforms, integrators, or contracts change.
One standardized data sharing agreement replaces a patchwork of vendor terms and supports how government teams acquire, store, share, and use commercial data.
Vendors never learn which country, agency, or program is buying. Identities, interests, and query patterns stay protected.
Grist Mill strips friction from discovery, evaluation, customization, acquisition, delivery, and integration, putting data in your hands in seconds or hours instead of the traditional 12–18 months.
APIs and streaming deliver current data into live workflows, not stale periodic drops.
License data in perpetuity, put it on any system or network you own or manage, and keep every derivative product you create under Grist Mill’s standard terms.
Grist Mill delivers complete data solutions, fused and integrated into the platform or network already in use. Pay only for the data needed for the mission.
A competitive market of 375+ commercial data vendors lets teams choose on quality and fit for purpose, rather than relying on one vendor’s data lake.
Reach government customers through infrastructure that handles licensing, anonymity, acquisition, secure delivery, and transactions while protecting your existing business.
Build mission-specific capabilities on neutral Commercial Data Infrastructure that is already in place. Focus on mission implementation, analytics, and customer outcomes while Grist Mill maintains the Commercial Data Infrastructure beneath the work.
Connect directly to vetted vendors, standardized licensing, and acquisition workflows without building and maintaining the underlying Commercial Data Infrastructure yourself.
