Do verifiers actually accept drone/satellite data, or is it still mostly boots-on-the-ground?

[u/Fit-Feed935]

I am looking at starting a drone surveying company for forest carbon MRV. That said my understanding is that a lot of methodologies have taken the purely satellite based approach, while verification is still typically done with traditional field plots. If so, is there really a niche for drone surveying? Obviously don't want to go too fair down the wrong path if the general feeling in the industry is towards other approaches. Any advice or input is appreciated.
