Related. I know a company that does analysis for soccer games. I thought it was state of the art too until they told me they just hired a bunch of people from China that logged every move (distance ran, kicks, etc) from eveyone and also put it in the database.

Well, that makes sense, doesn't it? Back in "the day" when certain US companies were trying to convert all the Whitepages and Yellowpages nation-wide into CD-ROMs, they'd ship phonebooks from each zip-code to China to have them triple entered (error correction), and then that's where the nation-wide CD-ROM phone-books came from. This is the same deal, no?

This is exactly a problem we are trying to solve (http://evolution.ai)
One cannot even imagine how many people in the world have a boring job of looking at word document and C&P some of the data into excel spreadsheet. Other half have a job of looking at some document and effectively making Yes/No decisions all day.

When I joined, I thought they using state of the art tools to monitor millions of sources.
Turns out they just had a team of thousands in India that manually visited certain websites to check for press releases, transcripts, earnings reports, etc and push them to a database if they found them.
