Assumptions

  • 30 minutes per remote monitoring visit. In reality, many of our experienced monitors work in Lens more quickly than the estimates used here.
  • 1 high-resolution commercial image purchased per site with an average data price of $0.06/acre. Our full list of data pricing can be found here.

Benchmarks are drawn from a time-and-cost study by The Nature Conservancy and Upstream Tech's internal analysis across many Lens customers. This calculation accounts for staff time and data costs; it does not include the Lens subscription price, which varies based on usage and needs. Figures are estimates, results will vary.
