Could you build this?
Partial A web map displaying conflict events is straightforward, but maintaining an automated, reliable OSINT extraction pipeline that continuously verifies, deduplicates, and geolocates kinetic events requires specialized ingestion engineering.
What it would actually take: Requires a serverless ingestion pipeline (AWS Lambda/Cloudflare Workers) querying structured news APIs, Telegram channels, and defense feeds. The hard part is developing reliable NLP/NER algorithms to extract conflict entities, dates, casualty figures, and precise geographic coordinates while filtering out propaganda, hallucinations, and duplicate strike reports from unstructured multilingual sources.
