What AI buyers want from a biotech lab

Mercor's listing asks for the experiment records, lab notebooks and trial data you own. Prism lists scientific reasoning as one of its most urgent needs. Notebooks show how scientists design, run and interpret experiments, including the ones that failed.

What makes it worth more

  • Complete notebooks. Hypothesis, method, results and interpretation.
  • Failed experiments. They're rare in published papers.
  • Long research programs on the same targets.

What to check first

Data from human trials comes with consent and ethics rules, and partners or sponsors may own part of your research. Unpublished work may also be your core IP. Get legal and scientific leadership sign-off first.
