Weigh a revenue-share offer for your records against a fixed price on its split, its exclusive window and what has sold, not on the promise of many sales

By 2 Nov 2026 Turing's Project Lazarus replaced its single payout with a revenue share: it prepares a company's record at its own cost, licenses it non-exclusively to labs and pays the company on every sale, arguing that a fixed-price buyer pays once and keeps reselling. The split of each sale is set in the agreement and not published, preparation costs are recovered from sales, and Turing alone sells the record for the first 90 days, after which the company can renew or opt out; if nothing sells it owes nothing. Turing also stopped quoting a figure before a sample, saying four public calculators priced one made-up company anywhere from about $200K to $800K. No seller has confirmed a Lazarus sale or payment.
