I suppose you could say “help find habitable star systems” in the same way you could find livable apartments by making a list of all of the apartment complexes that are currently ablaze.
So basically they are charging universities for access to the data? I wonder what happens when e.g. a collaboration of people in different institutes wants access to that data, and some people are in universities with access to it while others are not. Or what happens to the reproducibility of whatever science is produced. This business model does not exactly scream “open science”.
