SET50 Alternative Data Platform

Tourism-first vertical slice for a deterministic SET50 alternative-data research system. The app can run against a clearly-labelled fixture or fetch a point-in-time Tourism Indicators vintage from the Bank of Thailand report backed by the Ministry of Tourism and Sports.

Current scope:

fixture or BOT source observation
  → Tourism Pulse surprise
  → versioned exposure score
  → ranked target weights
  → English dashboard
  → internal paper ledger

No external webhook receiver and no live MT5 execution are enabled.

Run the backend

python -m venv .venv
.venv/bin/pip install -r backend/requirements.txt
PAPER_WRITE_TOKEN=local-paper-token TOURISM_SOURCE=fixture PYTHONPATH=backend .venv/bin/python backend/run.py

Health check:

curl http://127.0.0.1:5000/api/v1/health

Run the dashboard

In a second terminal:

cd frontend
npm install
npm run dev -- --host 127.0.0.1

Open http://127.0.0.1:5173.

The frontend reads the live API through Vite's /api proxy. Paper writes require the operator to unlock an HttpOnly browser session using the backend PAPER_WRITE_TOKEN; the token is never embedded in the frontend bundle. The paper-entry action records an assumed fill in the in-memory paper ledger only.

For HTTPS/non-local deployment, set PAPER_COOKIE_SECURE=1. The M0 session store is intentionally in-memory and single-process; use a shared session store before running multiple workers or replicas.

Run with the real BOT Tourism source

Use the BOT-backed adapter when network access is available:

PAPER_WRITE_TOKEN=local-paper-token TOURISM_SOURCE=bot PYTHONPATH=backend .venv/bin/python backend/run.py

At startup the adapter performs a read-only GET/POST against the BOT Tourism Indicators report, parses the available monthly history, computes the latest year-over-year arrival observation against a trailing 12-point baseline, and stores the raw HTML plus normalized snapshot under backend/data/ (ignored by git). The dashboard labels provisional BOT data as provisional, not high.

Data-health and replay endpoints:

GET /api/v1/data-health
GET /api/v1/replay/tourism?vintage_id=<vintage_id>

Tests and build

PYTHONPATH=backend .venv/bin/python -m unittest discover -s backend/tests -v
cd frontend && npm run build

Current M1 boundary

• English UI and analysis vocabulary
• Research mode and paper mode only
• Tourism Pulse fixture adapter and BOT Tourism Indicators adapter
• Data lineage: source, publication time, retrieval time, vintage
• Raw response hash and normalized snapshot persistence
• Read-only data-health and vintage replay endpoints
• Deterministic surprise × exposure × confidence score
• Paper ledger endpoint
• No LLM call yet; the deterministic result is the source of truth
• No webhook receiver yet
• No MT5 bridge yet

The next implementation step is to validate multiple BOT vintages and add the next real Tourism metric before introducing LLM analysis.
