HarvestGuard

The system fuses live satellite vegetation indices, rainfall anomaly data, and WFP food security indicators, then routes that combined signal through Claude to produce country-level crop failure risk assessments. Docker handles deployment; an Anthropic API key handles the inference. For an NGO standing up a proof-of-concept or a research institution prototyping AI plus Earth observation, the architecture is legible and the cost surface is clear — you pay for API calls, not a platform license. The wall appears when you need operational guarantees: this is a single-maintainer GitHub project with one star, no issue history, and no documented accuracy benchmarks against historical famine events. Teams that need auditable model provenance or SLA-backed uptime will hit that ceiling fast.
