Could you build this?

Partial The frontend guide and JOSM/OpenStreetMap integration UI can be vibe-coded, but the underlying spatial data pipelines and topological validation algorithms for global electrical grid validation require deep GIS domain knowledge.

What it would actually take: The platform requires a GIS backend running PostGIS, Overpass API queries, and geospatial graph validation pipelines that ingest planetary OpenStreetMap data and satellite layers. The hard parts are the domain-specific spatial topological rules (identifying broken lines, voltage mismatch heuristics, isolated transmission nodes) and handling large-scale vector geometries efficiently. This requires GIS domain specialists and geospatial data engineers.
