The everyday records of a well-run business
AI companies want to learn how real work gets done. Detailed, organized operating records from established companies command the highest prices.
Manufacturing
The most sought-after category today. Mercor lists $100,000 to $1.5 million for a manufacturing company's records. Value rises with years of history and records that link cause to outcome.
- Work orders, routings and travelers
- QA, inspection and nonconformance logs
- Spec sheets, drawings and change orders
- Maintenance and downtime records
Logistics and distribution
Buyers want to see how freight actually moves and how problems get solved, which is exactly what dispatch and exception records capture.
- Dispatch and load planning logs
- Manifests and bills of lading
- Claims, exceptions and resolution notes
- Route histories and carrier communications
Software and IT services
Support and operations histories teach AI systems how real problems are diagnosed and fixed. Security work is in particular demand; Mercor lists up to $750,000 for cybersecurity firms.
- Support tickets with their resolutions
- Runbooks and incident reports
- Project histories and code review notes
- Security assessments and remediation records
Construction and trades
Job files show how projects are estimated, scheduled and corrected in the field, knowledge that is hard to find anywhere else.
- Estimates, bids and change orders
- Daily logs and punch lists
- Inspection and safety reports
- Submittals and RFIs
Professional services
Firms that have documented how they work, from proposals to delivery, hold exactly the expert process knowledge AI developers are paying for.
- Procedures, playbooks and checklists
- Proposals, scopes and statements of work
- Project files and deliverables
- Internal knowledge bases

Buyers' interests change quickly, and new categories open every month. If your company keeps detailed records of skilled work, there is a good chance someone wants them.
