A newer record of the same thing replaced this one, so it is kept as history and no figure counts it: Data assets of a closed transcription company built over more than a decade (cielo24, est. 2012; per Forbes, 13 years of Slack messages, Jira tickets, emails and Google Drive files), sold during its wind-down to an organisation in language technology, mid-six figures per company archive.
In the source's own words
“cielo24’s former CEO said the transcription company received hundreds of thousands of dollars for 13 years of Slack messages, Jira tickets, emails and Google Drive files.”
