Could you build this?
No Flooder implements novel, mathematically rigorous computational geometry and GPU-accelerated persistent homology algorithms on Euclidean point clouds using PyTorch and Gudhi bindings.
What it would actually take: Building this requires a deep background in algebraic topology, simplicial complex construction (Delaunay triangulations, filtered Flood complexes), and custom CUDA/C++ or PyTorch kernel development for spatial acceleration. The core novelty lies in optimizing filtration and reduction algorithms over millions of points to scale beyond Alpha complex memory bottlenecks.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a analytics & bi tool for Legal yet.
