## Read and set aside

- [BizBuyData by Mode: home](https://data.mode.inc/): 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

## Methodology

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.
