Build the application

## Build
Simulate historical payouts for agricultural parametric drought contracts using ERA5 reanalysis precipitation time series. Audit contract basis risk against reported agricultural loss declaration logs.

## User
Parametric Product Structurer

## Workflow
1. Configure parametric contract terms specifying cumulative precipitation triggers and payout schedules.
2. Retrieve ERA5 historical total precipitation grids across multi-year growing cycles using cdsapi.
3. Execute synthetic trigger settlements over historic seasons to quantify false positive and false negative payouts.
4. Produce a basis risk audit dossier highlighting geographic contract trigger mismatches.

## Interface
Analytical workbench with interactive cumulative rainfall curves, trigger strike lines, and historical basis risk heatmaps.

## Data
Fetch ERA5 reanalysis datasets via cdsapi for target agricultural regions; cache normalized monthly rainfall totals in parquet files.
Starter examples below are synthetic. They are not downloaded records.

## Source
[Copernicus Climate Data Store client](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ecmwf/cdsapi/master/README.rst)
Implements the cdsapi.Client retrieve method for 'reanalysis-era5-single-levels' selecting total_precipitation.

## Tools
evidently-ai, cdsapi, numpy, scipy.
Evaluates data drift and trigger misclassification distributions across distinct historical climate epochs.
Local or hosted LLM to interpret basis risk statistical metrics into actuarial design summaries.

## Deliverables
Submit runnable source, pinned dependencies, setup commands, a working interface, example outputs, and a recorded end-to-end demo. Include tests and an action log.

## Acceptance
- Simulates annual parametric trigger payouts accurately based on ERA5 precipitation thresholds.
- Quantifies basis risk rates by identifying seasons with simulated drought declarations but no parametric breach.
- Generates an actionable contract recalibration report for human underwriting review.

## Safety
Calculates parametric scenario simulations only; no financial capital is allocated or contractual payout executed.
Use mock external writes. Require human review before any real deployment.
