Could you build this?
Partial Building the Next.js search UI and flight log tables is straightforward, but collecting, OCRing, audio/video transcribing, indexing, and deduplicating 1.3M+ multi-modal investigative documents is a serious data engineering project.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires an extensive ingestion pipeline using Whisper for audio/video transcription, Tesseract/AWS Textract for multi-page PDF OCR, and an entity extraction pipeline (NER) to build knowledge graph relations. The backend needs a high-capacity vector and full-text search cluster (e.g., Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, or pgvector/Meilisearch) capable of managing terabytes of raw files and high-throughput search queries across over a million records.
