SueTheMap is an interactive, self-contained AI Litigation data visualization tool. It provides a dynamic globe interface that maps out tracking data from the Database of AI Litigation (DAIL).

The project processes raw litigation and media coverage data (from Excel spreadsheets) to generate a deeply interactive single HTML file (sue_the_map.html). The visualization features:

• Interactive 3D Globe: Built with Globe.gl and D3.js for geographic data representation.
• AI-Powered Queries: Integrated with the Anthropic API to allow natural language queries about the litigation data.
• Rich Filtering: Filter cases by state, sector, and timeline.
• Detailed Insights: View total cases, active cases, and media coverage breakdowns by state.

• process_data.py: Reads the raw .xlsx data files and compiles them into a structured dail_data.json format used by the frontend.
• generate_html.py: The build script that takes the processed data, geographical shapes (us-states.json), CSS, and JavaScript, and bundles them into the final sue_the_map.html file.
• sue_the_map.html: The fully self-contained output visualization. No web server required—just open it in any modern browser!

The project requires the following DAIL datasets to build the visualization:

1. Case Table (Case_Table_*.xlsx)
2. Secondary Source Coverage Table (Secondary_Source_Coverage_Table_*.xlsx)
3. Geographical Data (us-states.json for mapping coordinates)

If you update the source Excel files, you can regenerate the map by running the Python scripts in order:

1. Process the raw data:

   python3 process_data.py

2. Generate the new HTML file:

   python3 generate_html.py

3. Open sue_the_map.html in your web browser to view the updated visualization.
