    Hi HN,

    I'm a student developer from Bosnia. I noticed bid managers in the construction industry were losing weekends manually reading 500+ page government contracts (JBCC, GCC, etc.) just to find "disqualification clauses."

    I built Lucius AI to automate the boring part. It digests the PDF, runs a forensic analysis to find hidden penalties/compliance risks, and outputs a Red/Green compliance matrix.

    The Stack:

    Node.js / Express backend

    MongoDB Atlas

    React frontend (deployed on Render)

    Google Vertex AI for the context window handling

    It’s currently in MVP/Beta. I’d love feedback on the approach or the architecture.
