2026-11-10 - primary-source re-check of the last 7 unverified entries
- Mode (BizBuyData): range confirmed on its own homepage ($100K-$5M); fit floors CORRECTED to 6+ legal / 10+ accounting, finance & medical / 30+ other (secondary summaries had 15+ / 50+); secondary-only '3+ years / 5+ systems' line removed - Mode publishes no numeric years floor.
- Labelbox (Prism): CORRECTED from 'not published' - Prism's own homepage and FAQ publish smaller datasets starting around $50K and enterprise partnerships reaching $1M+, upfront fee plus revenue share, exclusive by default.
- Replay (Sunset): reframed - Replay is the licensing programme (Sunsets HQ Corp), Sunset its wind-down service; range replaced with Replay's own published headcount tiers: $10K-$100K (20-50 employees), $100K-$1M (50-250), $1M+ (250+).
- Nyne: floors and data confirmed verbatim on nyne.ai (20+ U.S. W-2, 3+ years); its 'commonly $100K or more' figure stays attributed to compilations quoting Nyne's programme pages.
- CorpusMarket: confirmed on its own guide (indicative bands $200K-$500K / $400K-$900K / $800K+, labelled indicative).
- Grepped and Protege: confirmed on their own sites that neither publishes a payout range or fit floor today; Grepped's earlier homepage figure was removed in late Oct 2026 and is no longer quoted. No entry in the database remains 'unverified'.
