PriceGhost: Dynamic Pricing Forensic Exposé

PriceGhost is a full-stack forensic intelligence platform that detects, measures, and cryptographically proves dynamic geographic pricing discrimination. THE PROBLEM: Corporations silently charge different prices based on your location, device, and browser fingerprint. 78% of consumers report feeling targeted by location-based pricing bias, yet proving it is nearly impossible. HOW IT WORKS: PriceGhost coordinates 10 simultaneous residential proxy scrapes across global coordinates (Mumbai, New York, London, Tokyo, Berlin, Sydney, Lagos, Buenos Aires, Dubai, Singapore) via Bright Data's Web Unlocker API. Each scrape rotates device fingerprints and captures raw HTML payloads. STATISTICAL FORENSICS ENGINE: Four custom mathematical algorithms run natively — Gini Coefficient of Spatial Inequality, Coefficient of Variation, Mann-Whitney U Significance Test (p < 0.05), and GDP Pearson Wealth Correlation — establishing courtroom-ready mathematical proof of pricing discrimination. AI-POWERED PARSING: When standard regex price extraction fails on complex HTML, Featherless AI's hosted Llama-3 model acts as a semantic fallback parser. AI/ML API generates authoritative natural language indictments styled as investigative exposés. COGNITIVE MEMORY: Cognee's semantic graph database indexes every pricing anomaly, enabling live queries against historical precedents to expose long-term corporate discrimination patterns. AUTOMATED ALERTS: TriggerWare webhooks automatically dispatch incident alerts to legal networks when Gini/Pearson indices flag "Severe" exploitation levels. EVIDENCE INTEGRITY: Every scrape result is sealed with SHA-256 cryptographic signatures and timestamp chains, producing immutable evidence packages exportable as courtroom-ready JSON dossiers. BUILT WITH: Next.js 16 (Turbopack), better-sqlite3 (7-table schema with WAL), Recharts composed visualizations, Leaflet dynamic trace maps.
