Scientific model modernization
Economic article replication in Python and C++
Recreated a compatible Docker environment so a legacy Python 2 and C++ research model could run again exactly as it had years earlier.
2016 → nowlegacy research made reproducible
Challenge
The published model depended on obsolete Python 2, C++, and system libraries. Its original environment was effectively impossible to reproduce with a normal modern installation.
Approach
We investigated the historic dependency chain, selected compatible versions, and built a reproducible Docker environment around the model and its source code.
Result
The research code ran successfully again with the original behavior preserved. The client was satisfied and returned for a separate data-extraction project.
