### What to confirm before you sign

American Retrieval Company publishes 6 of the 8 fields in the Content Hub rubric. Across all 318 vendors profiled in the Content Hub, the median is 5 of 8. The gaps below are not marks against the vendor — most of this industry quotes on request. They are simply the questions you still have to ask, and the answers are worth getting in writing before a file changes hands.

1.
What does a real 1,000-page file cost, all in?
Ask for a worked example rather than a rate card. Duplicate pages, rush fees and monthly minimums are where the quoted rate and the final invoice separate.
Indicative cost — 83% of all profiled vendors leave this unpublished[Ours: 10¢ a page, duplicates free](https://medrecords.ai/plans/self-service/?src=content-hub-american-retrieval-company)
2.
What formats does the deliverable come in, and do the citations survive export?
Ask to see an exported file rather than a screen share. A citation that works inside the vendor's viewer and dies in Word is not a citation you can file.
Export formats — 92% of all profiled vendors leave this unpublished[Ours: DOCX or HTML, every citation stays a live link](https://medrecords.ai/product/hyperlinked-exports/?src=content-hub-american-retrieval-company)
3.
Where do the records live, and who signs the BAA?
Protected health information is going to leave your office. Ask which entity holds it, in which country, and who is on the hook if it leaks.
Every vendor[Ours: HIPAA-eligible cloud under our own BAA](https://medrecords.ai/hipaa/?src=content-hub-american-retrieval-company)
4.
Is my data used to train a model?
Ask for the answer in the contract rather than the sales call, and check whether it also binds their subprocessors.
Every vendor[Ours: never trains a model](https://medrecords.ai/security/?src=content-hub-american-retrieval-company)
