Pastoralist drought intelligence for Isiolo County, Kenya — satellite + AI + SMS/USSD/voice, low-bandwidth by design. # ArdaLink **Pastoralist intelligence platform for the drylands of Isiolo County, Kenya.** ArdaLink gives pastoralist communities in Isiolo County a low-bandwidth, multi-channel early-warning and decision-support system for drought stress. Herders reach it through USSD (`*123*8#`), SMS, browser voice, or an operator dashboard. Three independent services ingest open satellite + climate data, run biophysical models, and surface actionable summaries scoped to a single ward (Bulla Pesa, Garbatulla, Kinna — with the Merti Sub-County operator also live as a tenant) — with strict tenant isolation enforced at the database boundary. View on GitHub ↗ --- ## What's in this repo This is the **public monorepo** for ArdaLink. It contains three independently-deployable services plus a marketing site, organised as siblings so each can be lifted out and deployed on its own. | Path | Language | Runtime | One-line purpose | |---|---|---|---| | `ardalink-engine/` | Python 3.12 | FastAPI / uvicorn | Biophysical compute — satellite + climate ingestion, energy / water / herd scoring, journey planning. | | `ardalink-api/` | TypeScript | Node 24 | Multi-tenant HTTP boundary — auth, intelligence cycle, ground-truth capture, voice/SMS/USSD routing. | | `ardalink-web/` | TypeScript | React 19 / Vite 7 | Operator dashboard + public browser Talk app + `@workspace/api-client-react` typed hooks. | | `ardalink-marketing/` | HTML/CSS/JS | static | Conference posters and the public showcase site. | | `Arda-link-AI-Docs/` | Markdown | — | Long-form narrative documentation (8 deep-dive guides). | Each service has its own README, lockfile, Dockerfile, and CI workflow. --- ## Architecture at a glance Read `STATUS.md` for the strategic view (current vs production, vendor matrix, roadmap) and `Arda-link-AI-Docs/architecture.md` for the C4-style component diagrams. Five-line summary for anyone in a hurry: 1. **Three services.** The API is the only one that touches the database directly. …
