Records from closing companies

SimpleClosure's Asset Hub takes the workspace data of companies that are shutting down, naming communications, documents, designs, tickets and workflows. Appen says a wind-down follows a faster path and can often license its complete operational history, and License My Company Data names operating and closing businesses alike.

The figures buyers publish

micro1 says payments typically range from $150K to over $2M, for established companies with 30 or more full-time staff, and Polyshares that its deals typically land between $100K and $2M paid to the company. These are the buyers' own published ranges, not a price for any one archive.

The records they name

Grepped asks for messages, docs, tickets, code and records from a team's tools, aitrainer.work's guide lists SOPs, playbooks and knowledge bases, and Centific wants records showing how employees make decisions and handle exceptions.
