Could you build this?
Partial The front-end and API layer are trivial, but building and maintaining reliable, deduplicated data pipelines across 50 state WARN sites, DOL, and SEC filings is notoriously brittle.
What it would actually take: Requires continuous scrapers and parsers for 50 distinct state DOL portals (many requiring OCR on inconsistent PDFs), entity-resolution models to link disparate company names across SEC filings and WARN notices, and robust data pipeline orchestration (Airflow/Dagster). A data engineer with experience in dirty government datasets and fuzzy entity matching is necessary to keep it production-grade.
