Could you build this?
No Building EDA tools and ultra-high-efficiency waveform capture systems requires deep knowledge of semiconductor verification and low-level compression.
What it would actually take: Requires high-performance systems programming in C/C++ to parse and stream digital hardware simulation formats (VCD, FSDB) with custom lossless compression codecs integrated into commercial EDA suites (Synopsys, Cadence). It requires experienced digital IC design and EDA software engineers.
