Set aside after reading
We read 1 named document that turned out not to be what this board asks about; why is given below. It counts toward the reading, not the answers.
- BizBuyData by Mode: home: BizBuyData's home page names its referral fee only as a headline; its terms (the greater of $50,000 or 6%, and 6% outside the US) are read on its own referral page, bizbuydata.com/50k
Method
Each programme's own company referral and data partnership pages of AI data buyers were read through estate-fetch and stored whole (sha256 on every row).
For every page, five questions were answered from its own words: whether its own page publishes a fee, the fee, in its words, any other rate it publishes, when the fee is paid, who may introduce a company.
Every stated answer carries the sentence it rests on, checked against the stored text; 'not stated' means the page read does not address the question.
A programme with several pages reads 'varies' where they disagree.
5 programmes, 5 pages.
The 6 pages we read
