What we hear from researchers & universities

Sound familiar?

“Public datasets on African ecosystems are sparse, lagged, or inconsistent across years.”

“Scraping our own data takes 6 months and is rarely replicable.”

“Reviewers want methodology transparency — most commercial sources are black boxes.”

“Our PhD students need data to defend a thesis, not to fight with APIs.”
