Could you build this?
Partial Building the web UI to display alumni outcomes is trivial, but gathering, disambiguating, and linking 25 years of historical competition records with real-world professional outcomes requires substantial entity-resolution pipelines.
What it would actually take: A production version requires scraping unstructured historical PDFs and tournament records, cross-referencing names with LinkedIn, Crunchbase, and academic graph APIs, and building an entity-resolution model to deduplicate common names. The frontend can be standard React/Next.js backed by PostgreSQL, but the core difficulty is automated record linkage and high-precision data enrichment.
