What Mode does

Mode said it licenses operational data for AI training. It buys data itself as well as licensing it on.

Mode said the same workflow review also produces AI-readiness and efficiency reports for the company.

Why workflow data matters

Workflow data shows how people coordinate across systems over time — the sequence of emails, chats, tickets, documents and approvals behind real work.

What Mode looks for

  • 3+ years of records.
  • Digitally active staff, current and peak.
  • 5+ systems: email, chat, CRM, documents, finance, projects and industry tools.
  • Data volume.
  • Single datasets or one-system exports don't qualify (Mode affiliate FAQ, October 2026).
Read more: digitally active staff
  • Mode said digitally active staff are people who routinely create and use system records.
  • Employees and contractors can count. Full-time is preferred, and large part-time teams are judged case by case.
  • In field-heavy sectors, count only the back-office and operations users.

Pricing factors Mode named

  1. Current and peak staff
  2. Years of records
  3. Number and complexity of sources
  4. Data volume

More raw volume doesn't make up for fewer distinct users.

How a Mode deal runs

  1. Step 1

    Week 1

    30-minute call, then a non-binding letter of intent with a mutual NDA.

  2. Step 2

    Weeks 1–2

    Short intake form, indicative range, then a fixed offer in the data licence agreement.

  3. Step 3

    After signing

    Your team uploads copies of the agreed systems within 10 days.

  4. Step 4

    Review

    Mode reviews and de-identifies; you can audit a sample.

Mode said it may revisit your data about 12 months later for a follow-on licence.

Exclusive licence

  • Mode licenses to its AI customer on an exclusive basis.
  • The company agrees not to sell or license the same data for external AI training for 24 months.
  • The AI customer is bound by confidentiality and barred from trying to identify anyone.
  • Choosing Mode means the same data can't go to micro1 for AI training for 24 months, so pick one partner per dataset.

Review exclusivity terms and compare partners before you sign.

Licence terms described by Mode

Mode's written agreement, not this guide, sets the terms for licensing your company's records.

Mode terms source guide

Records excluded or de-identified

  • Health records, payment card data and children's data are excluded.
  • Sensitive material is removed and personal data transformed before the AI customer sees it; the company can audit a sample.
  • Mode describes third-party de-identification covering 40+ identifier types (names, addresses, emails, logos and more).
  • Audio and video are redacted and transcribed; the training product is text.

Record scope matters as well as company size

What should we prepare before applying?
A useful first step is simply listing which systems hold how many years of records, and who owns them.
Can medical practices include patient information?
Medical: business records only, no patient information.
What about client confidentiality or privilege?
That needs your own counsel. Both partners de-identify and you agree the scope, but privileged material should stay out unless your lawyers clear it.
