Could you build this?

Partial A repair wizard UI is buildable, but repairing corrupt Access (Jet/ACE) files requires parsing an undocumented binary format and recovering damaged pages, which is hard.

What it would actually take: Start from the open mdbtools codebase and the community documentation of the Jet page and table structures, then write recovery logic that salvages readable pages and rebuilds indexes and system tables. The hard parts are handling varied corruption patterns and not making damage worse. This takes reverse-engineering and database-internals expertise plus a large corpus of corrupted test files.
