Could you build this?
Partial The front-end reference UI is simple, but building and maintaining reliable automated ETL pipelines across hundreds of inconsistent, changing US government datasets is a continuous operational challenge.
What it would actually take: Requires a resilient distributed web-scraping and data ingestion framework (e.g., Airflow, Prefect, Python scrapers) pulling from diverse federal/state agencies (Census, BLS, FRED, SEC). Needs automated schema drift detection, diffing algorithms, and data verification pipelines to ensure public numbers remain current without silent scraping failures.
