In concept, but not execution. More scientific and the platform doing a lot of work for you. You upload tons of specific raw data. Think lidar, drone footage, data from core samples, raw precision gps data, material analysis, etc.

The platform understands a lot of things already and is able to organize/chart/map/visualize automatically, and extensible where not.
