The practical distinction
Troveo is classified here as intermediary; micro1 is classified as direct licensing. These classifications describe the reviewed public program, not a promise about the counterparty or rights in a future agreement. Verify those details in the proposal.
| Field | Troveo | micro1 |
|---|---|---|
| Business model | Intermediary | Direct licensing |
| Records described | Chat and email histories; Documents and metadata; Project tickets and wikis; CRM and support records; Finance and business-platform records; Code repositories and warehouses | SOPs and playbooks; Internal knowledge bases; CRM records; Project histories; QA and process documentation; Business feedback on AI outputs |
| Eligibility | Companies with useful historical records across their systems. No binding minimum company size or age is stated in the reviewed public text. | Operationally mature companies with 30+ employees and established documentation. micro1 prioritizes US companies, then other Western markets, and primarily seeks English-language operations and documentation. |
| Payment | A share of revenue on each sale is described. The reviewed company-data page does not publish the exact split, payout timing or fee schedule. | Individually evaluated compensation based on quality, volume, complexity and uniqueness. The public program does not state a universal payment schedule or fixed revenue split. |

How to use this comparison
Send the same non-confidential scope to each provider if you choose to approach both. Compare guaranteed payment separately from contingent share, and use the same record dates, exclusions and permitted uses. Public program descriptions can change, and unpublished terms cannot be inferred from a competitor.
What this comparison cannot tell you
Neither a public range nor the breadth of a provider’s program establishes the value of your archive. Fit, authority, acceptance and negotiated terms require diligence. A larger advertised number would not by itself justify a broader license.
