Could you build this?
Partial While the front-end chat interface and RAG pipeline can be vibe-coded, indexing and maintaining 82+ million pages across international health authorities with deterministic, hallucination-free citation mappings requires extensive data engineering.
What it would actually take: A production implementation requires distributed web scraping and pipeline infrastructure (e.g., Apache Airflow, Ray) across multiple international regulatory repositories (FDA, EMA, PMDA). The storage architecture demands hybrid search combining dense vector stores (Milvus/Pinecone) and sparse full-text indices (Elasticsearch) paired with a specialized reranking and cross-referencing verification model. Building this requires specialized legal/regulatory data pipeline engineers to handle document layout parsing (complex PDFs/tables) and strict citation provenance.
