Personnel files.

Does this still interest buyers?

Buyers say they want the records of how work moves through a business (Mode affiliate FAQ). How much a narrowed scope is worth is something only the buyer can say after review.

This is general information, not legal advice. Talk to your own attorney or compliance advisor before you share or license any records.

Frequently asked questions

Is a firm-only scope worth much?

No public price exists for a legal-only scope. Ask for a written, non-binding range before you do any work.

Can I share a sample to get a price?

Mode says it doesn't ask for raw data before a license agreement is signed.
