Data fit
For ServiceNow resolution histories, Hookshot names a current fastest focus. Centific lists CRM, contracts, projects, email, finance, healthcare operations, HR, ITSM and warehouses. Broader categories do not establish current buyer demand.

Data fit
For your existing records, start with category fit: Centific lists CRM, contracts, projects, email, finance, healthcare operations, HR, ITSM and warehouses; Hookshot Data / Protege AI lists ServiceNow ITSM resolutions (current fastest focus), SOPs, CRM, incidents, engineering reviews, finance and wikis. Ask each which subset has active demand before preparing exports.
Payment trigger
Centific: Most partnerships reach first accepted contribution in 6–10 weeks; payment on acceptance. Acceptance estimate is not a payout SLA. Hookshot Data / Protege AI: Payment timing not established; ask the provider. These clocks measure different stages, not equivalent payout deadlines; ask for a written acceptance-to-payment interval.
Shared diligence, not shared guarantees.
Both routes need lawful rights to the material. Removing names does not remove confidentiality obligations or re-identification risk. Require sample approval, buyer-use restrictions, precise payment triggers and downstream retention/deletion terms.
Seller-outcome evidence
Centific: No independently audited operating-business payout established in this research. Provider cases and partnership confirmations do not establish a typical seller outcome.
