Bot or not?
We'd rather tell you that you don't need a robot than sell you one. Every job page says when a robot makes sense, when to hire a human, and what it costs, with a source link on every number.
Robot makes sense
- High, dangerous, or hard to reach
- Huge or repetitive (acres, nights, square metres)
- You need data you'll compare over time
- You need eyes on it right now
Hire a human
- Small, low and one-off
- Needs hands, judgement or a repair
- Weather, permits or timing make robots awkward
- Nobody has defined the job yet
