Map the minimum connector permissions needed for the proposed records. Confirm delivery and acceptance milestones, current security controls and when access will be revoked before connecting a production tool.
Program overview
Mercor is an AI data company best known for its expert network. Its data program connects to more than 100 workplace tools, de-identifies data automatically and asks the seller to approve before anything moves.
Mercor says it prices on volume, the tools connected and depth of history, and issues payment on delivery of the anonymized dataset, described as typically two to four weeks after signing depending on processing.
In April 2026 Mercor confirmed it was affected by a supply-chain attack involving the open-source LiteLLM library. WIRED reported that Meta paused its work with Mercor, and the Wall Street Journal reported at least seven class actions, which Mercor says it strongly disputes. That does not rule Mercor out as a buyer, but security questions should be a standard part of any negotiation with it.

Before requesting a company-data offer
