- Notes
- Mercor says it licenses the data and pays the company. Payment is by wire upon delivery of the anonymized dataset to the buyer, typically within 2-4 weeks of the signed agreement. Compensation depends on data volume, the tools connected and data depth. Mercor states extraction and anonymization are automated and that no AI lab buyer sees raw data. Target industries listed: legal, healthcare, finance and insurance, professional services, manufacturing, retail and e-commerce, real estate, logistics. Its separate expert referral page (mercor.com/referrals) covers people referred for paid work, not companies.
