Could you build this?
Partial While the front-end directory and ranking dashboard are simple, continuously scraping, deduplicating, and normalizing data across 200+ disparate sources in 50 countries requires complex data infrastructure.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires a distributed data ingestion pipeline (e.g., Airflow, Scrapy clusters, and residential proxy networks) to harvest company data across global business registries and accelerators while bypassing bot detection. It requires robust entity resolution and deduplication algorithms to merge cross-border corporate records. Sustaining this requires dedicated data engineering and constant scraper maintenance.
