What it actually costs to process 167 photos
One real dataset, measured end to end: wall-clock time, peak memory, scratch space and output size. No estimates.

Volume change between two flights is the most trusted number in drone surveying and the easiest to get wrong without any error message.
Relative and absolute accuracy are different things. Confusing them is how people end up disappointed by a perfectly good model.
The economics of buying hardware for photogrammetry, against the economics of renting it for the length of one job.
Your volume number will eventually be argued with — by a customer, an auditor, or your own finance team. Here is how to make it defensible before that happens.
Weekly earthworks progress is a drone flight and a design surface. What that gets you, and where it stops being good enough.
You flew the same quarry twice and the software says material moved that nobody touched. Here is what is actually happening.
Not a chatbot bolted onto a map. A tool surface an agent can call — list flights, measure a polygon, compare two surveys — and what that changes.
Seventy-seven photos, one 8-core machine, three engine settings. The stage-by-stage clock, the one same-dataset GPU number that exists, and what it takes to run the alternatives.
