Eligibility
| Program | Published minimum | A 100-person company |
|---|---|---|

Mode also requires a company in the US, Canada, the UK or Australia, 3+ years of records, 5+ systems, and an industry other than staffing, insurance or title/escrow.
Published price band
Mode's affiliate FAQ gives indicative offers by full-time US staff: 20 to 49 = $200K to $500K, 50 to 149 = $400K to $900K, 150+ = $800K+, with eligible companies under 20 quoted individually. Mode calls these 'indicative ranges, not offers' (Mode affiliate FAQ).
Mode names four drivers: how many people work in the company's systems (today and at its peak), years of records, number of connected systems, and volume. Records that show outcomes, such as deals won or lost and jobs completed, raise the number (Mode affiliate FAQ).
Timeline
Mode's FAQ describes a 30-minute call, a non-binding letter of intent with a mutual NDA, an intake form and indicative range, a fixed offer in the license agreement, upload of the agreed systems within 10 days of signing, de-identification with a sample audit, and payment within 30 days of acceptance. It says most companies go from first call to payment in about 2 to 3 months (Mode affiliate FAQ).
