What is public
Nothing on price. Mercor's data page describes partnerships without a range, a size minimum or a payment timeline. Every other named buyer publishes at least a floor. Treat Mercor as a buyer you talk to after you know what the others would pay.
The Spirit bid
In Spirit Airlines' bankruptcy, Google bid $10 million and won the auction for about 100 million emails and 500 million Teams messages, a $12.5 million competing bid was filed afterwards, and Mercor was the $7.5 million backup bidder. The court hearing on the sale is set for Nov. 6, 2026 (Travel Weekly). What the Spirit auction tells owners. A closed airline with nobody left to negotiate drew three eight-figure bids. A running company has every lever Spirit did not.

Who should talk to Mercor
Larger companies with records at a scale that justify a conversation without a published floor, and companies already in talks with other buyers who want a competing number. For a 40-person firm, the buyers with published ranges and timelines are the better first call.
