I am. But I'm also saying that if this is the case, they should consider making some changes to generalize (or at least increase the breadth of their specialization) if they want to increase their revenue.

Their algorithm and the acoustics of the hardware, as well as the enclosure/power solution, is purpose built for triangulating gunshots sounds from rooftops in a mesh of the devices.

Integrating with public safety organizations also took a considerable amount of effort.

That is the jist of what I gathered from a former ShotSpotter employee.
