Catallaxy Internal & Parliamentary Watch (Arthashastra/IPW)

Policy-Intelligence Dashboard for a Research Foundation

Full-stack policy-intelligence dashboard built for an internal policy-research foundation, unifying legal-news monitoring, government gazette tracking, and a 1.2M+ record Indian parliamentary archive (Lok Sabha & Rajya Sabha debates, questions, committee reports) into one searchable platform, with a resumable ingestion pipeline and an AI-assisted summarisation layer gated behind human review.

Architecture

Next.js 15 (App Router) + FastAPI + MongoDB (1.2M+ records, compound indexes) + SQLAlchemy/SQLite for scraper bookkeeping + Gemini/GPT-4.1/Grok-3 behind one abstracted client.

Key Features

Faceted full-text search across ~1.2M records: 90 Rajya Sabha sessions, 130 committees, ~9,600 tracked reports

AI summaries and committee analysis gated behind an admin-only human review/approval workflow

Explainable related-records recommendations (same-ministry to same-member fallback, not a black-box embedding search)

Resumable, adaptive round-robin scraper against 3 structurally different government APIs with per-source circuit breakers

Admin console with per-source ingestion progress, start/pause/resume/stop controls, and a scheduled daily auto-fetch
