Buyers of company records talk of refreshes and ongoing partnerships, but none publishes a refresh price: fix it in the first agreement
Only Centific names a cadence: most of its partners move to a quarterly refresh after the first accepted contribution. Mode's calculator shows a line for a possible refresh over the next 24 months, marked indicative; AfterQuery's process ends with payment and an ongoing partnership; Nyne says only that its partnership leaves chances for new opportunities; Mercor's healthcare data partnerships team supports renewals. Turing rules it out: one payment, no retainer, no recurring commitment. None of them publishes what a refresh or a renewal pays.

“Paid on acceptance rather than submission. Most partners then move to a quarterly refresh, which is where a one-time sale becomes a recurring line.”
