For your existing records, start with category fit: Centific lists CRM, contracts, projects, email, finance, healthcare operations, HR, ITSM and warehouses; SimpleClosure AssetHub lists Startup workspace/code assets: Slack, email, Drive, Notion, Figma and project context. Ask each which subset has active demand before preparing exports.
Centific: Most partnerships reach first accepted contribution in 6–10 weeks; payment on acceptance. Acceptance estimate is not a payout SLA. SimpleClosure AssetHub: Assessment often hours/days; not a payment deadline. These clocks measure different stages, not equivalent payout deadlines; ask for a written acceptance-to-payment interval.
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.
Centific: No independently audited operating-business payout established in this research. Provider cases and partnership confirmations do not establish a typical seller outcome.
