So... Fiverr or Upwork?

  Those are paid on a per job basis. Different incentive structure. Here you would basically be defining how much you'd be willing to pay per work item, regardless of how it's done; you wouldn't get the secret sauce, just the black box output. It's not really a great idea, but in fairness I don't think it's much worse than what's out there either.

    There are quite a few "scraping" companies out there that do this. They generally focus on getting you the data in an automated fashion, but it is black box and could be manual if they wanted.

      I sense an opportunity to arbitrage mTurk -> Automation -> mTurk. Repeat as many times as necessary for a successful exit (IPO vs. Acquisition doesn't matter, either are acceptable)
