Sound like the company has not invented here syndrome. Maps is largely solved problem. Mapbox has a great product that is customizable.

Perhaps the company could better spend their R&D to focus on products that directly imoroves it's market share and revenue.

While Scale is very good at marketing, I wonder if companies using scale ai genuinely understand how their data is being labeled. They have been completely obfuscating that they primarily do crowdsourcing through https://remotasks.com/. The brand of remotasks is entirely different than scale ai for apparent reasons. I don't think major companies would opt in for crowdsourcing if they knew it. There are plenty of managed labeling service providers who provide a guarantee that the labelers come to a facility without phones to label data. There's a reason why they exist.

they hire cleared labelers in st louis. The software likely needs to run on-premises or in government networks

Their gov business is questionable for long-term sustainment. Labeling services are akin to transcription services provided by others like Leidos... its not a technology business. Got contracts through political connections...

there's a major turnover in their federal team...
