Because we want to continue to run a respectable business, and staying in business depends on our clients trusting us, we have no incentive to pursue a data-based revenue model. We are a service provider, like an accountancy or a law firm, not a software or data company.
To do what you propose would involve trading our large, primary revenue stream for an untested one-shot reporting product that would be extremely unpopular with everybody and put us out of business overnight. It makes little sense to me. You draw analogies to public markets, but there's a reason private companies are called private companies.
In addition to our standard engagement terms that forbid such use of client data, we are happy to sign customer NDAs and regularly do so. We have never earned a cent from client data and have no intention of doing anything of the sort.
Happy to discuss over the phone if you have any further suggestions on this front.
