Data fit
For your existing records, start with category fit: Mercor lists Slack, Gmail, Salesforce, GitHub, Notion, contracts, clinical notes and QA logs; 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.
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.
