RMAIS
A Laravel thesis prototype for monitoring rice and palay prices in M’lang, with traceable records, buyer and net-income comparisons, and explainable rule-based guidance.
Price-monitoring thesis prototype
- Laravel
- PHP
- Blade
- MySQL
01 / Overview
What it’s built for.
Turn collected rice and palay prices into traceable comparisons and explainable decisions without claiming to predict future prices.
Who it serves
Farmers, rice traders, consumers, and price encoders/verifiers.
02 / Features
Inside the app.
Decision journal
Save price evidence and algorithm versions, compare buyer-specific costs, and record later sale outcomes.
Administration and reports
Use independent verification, non-destructive corrections, audit history, and provenance-aware exports.
03 / Workflow
From task to outcome.
Encode and independently verify compatible price observations.
Publish reviewed records to the public price board.
Compare offers and buyer-specific costs, then save a decision snapshot.
Record an actual sale and review descriptive differences from the saved decision.
04 / Technical layers
How the pieces work.
Blade · Tailwind · English/Filipino
Mobile-first decision screens and role-specific dashboards present evidence and explicit unknowns.
Laravel · PHP
Services apply explainable rules, source comparability, ownership checks, and maker-checker publication.
SQLite locally · MySQL deployment option
Price records, revisions, decisions, planting plans, and outcomes retain traceability.
CSV · Immutable audit history
Exports retain provenance; optional research permission is versioned and withdrawable.
05 / Limitations
What to keep in mind.
- Seeded price histories are demonstration data, not official local observations.
- The baseline is rule-based and does not claim price forecasting or causal income improvement.
- Real pilots require verified sources, calibrated thresholds, and physical-device usability checks.
06 / Evidence
Follow the source.
