Description Build a SaaS dashboard that ingests breaking Middle East security and intelligence news in English, Arabic, Hebrew, Persian and Turkish; tags each report with source country, anonymity level, and ‘origin vs assessment’ mismatches (the exact pattern in this article: Israeli-sourced intel, CIA doubted). An ML/LLM pipeline scores credibility 0-100 and sends real-time alerts when a high-impact threat report is likely inflated or false-flag. Tech stack: Next.js/React frontend, Python FastAPI backend, PostgreSQL + Redis, OpenAI/Anthropic or open-weight LLMs for translation and scoring, news APIs (GNews, NewsAPI, X API), Docker, deploy on AWS ECS/Fargate or Vercel + Supabase. Build MVP in 8-12 weeks with 3 core feeds and a credibility score; then add alerts, API, and team seats.
Monetization SaaS tiers: Free (3 alerts/day), Pro $49/month, Analyst $199/month, API $499+/month; premium newsletter with sponsor ads; white-label licensing to newsrooms.
