Inspiration
Lost & Found is all about speed and clarity—when people submit reports with incomplete or inconsistent details, the goal is to turn that messy information into a short, explainable list of the most likely matches so staff can review cases quickly.
What it does
Users submit a lost-item report (optionally with a photo). The system suggests likely matches from a found-items list and lets admins review and update the case.
How we built it
A lightweight Python backend with simple scoring for matching, JSON file storage, basic uploads, and an admin login for review.
Challenges we ran into
Handling file uploads, keeping matches accurate with limited info, and building a smooth review flow without a full framework.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
End-to-end working demo: submit request → match suggestions → admin review → status updates, with email notification.
What we learned
Simple, transparent matching goes a long way, and good follow-up questions can dramatically improve results.
What's next for SAP Challenge
Improve matching quality, tighten security, polish the UI, and add better verification and notifications.
