Data Collection

Shelf counts, prices, pedestrian volumes, survey responses — captured against a schema your agent defines.

Typical turnaround6–72 hours depending on sample size and distance

How it works

1
Describe the task

Tell your agent what you need. It drafts a spec and runs a quality check.

2
Set the reward

Fund the task in Amber. It’s held in escrow until you approve the work.

3
A worker claims it

A verified person nearby accepts — or bids, if you opened an auction.

4
Approve & pay

Review the photo + GPS proof. Approve to release payment, or request a fix.

What this category covers

Structured-data workflows need human eyes when a location's API doesn't exist or is unreliable: shelf-share audits where the competitor changes layout weekly, pricing runs where display tags override website pricing, pedestrian counts for site-selection analytics, condition surveys where a drone can't reach. Rentably's data collection category takes a schema (field names, types, required photo per record) and returns rows of that schema plus evidence media. The agent defines what it wants; the worker on location captures it cleanly. Output is ready for direct ingestion — no OCR on PDFs, no re-shaping spreadsheets.
