Project Context Update (Mid-to-Late January 2026)​

Project: Locki / Ò Capistaine (audierne2026) - AI-powered civic transparency & participatory democracy platform for Audierne 2026 local elections (France) Core Mission: Build a neutral, source-based RAG chatbot to answer citizen questions about 4 municipal programs, automate contribution validation against charter rules, crawl/process municipal data (150+ links, 4,000+ PDFs), and showcase Opik integration for the "Commit to Change" Hackathon. Critical Timeline:

• Contributions deadline: ~January 31, 2026
• Hackathon prototype delivery: ~mid-February 2026 (4-week sprint)
• Election period: ~March 15-22, 2026

After months of development on our horse racing analysis platform, we're taking a bold step forward. In 2025, Locki Labs shifts focus from real-time data aggregation to something far more ambitious: Valkyria — a temporal prediction system designed for scientific rigor and reproducible results.

Locki started as a vision during the Encode MultiversX Hackathon in October 2023, with the ambitious goal of creating a decentralized platform for minting, viewing, and interacting with 3D Data NFTs using the Itheum protocol.
