What is an accounting firm's data worth to AI buyers?

Short answer: No buyer publishes an accounting-specific price. Mode's FAQ bands by full-time US staff are $200K-$500K (20-49), $400K-$900K (50-149) and $800K+ (150+); firms under 20 are quoted individually. Scope limits from § 7216 can shrink what's licensable, so treat bands as a ceiling, not a promise.
