Love the name. Perhaps an angle you haven't considered is rapid quantitative data gathering for site inspection for rapid setup of non-traditional infrastructure like wind and solar. Should be zeitgeist with gas prices shooting through the roof. By actually being 250-400ft above the proposed site and taking real measurements you get actionable insights. Multi-season survey ideal but raw data from a specific site has gravitas and seasonal inference is straightforward within a confidence interval.

Interesting! This is new to me. I know wind farm inspection is another really solid market (smaller land areas and high frequency - could be 1 pad for a whole farm), but I am not familiar with the rapid setup renewables. Can you share more?

Maybe open show some fraction of your data on your website with a nationwide map or something, so such prospective customers can see exactly what you can provide. Then charge for the full dataset
