- Ensure no heavy packages (tensorflow, etc.) in requirements.txt

**App doesn't load:**
- Check logs in HF Spaces
- Verify app.py has no syntax errors

## 📁 Required Files

**`app.py`** (root level):
```python
import streamlit as st
import numpy as np
import time
import threading
import json
import logging
from datetime import datetime
import random

# Complete self-contained federated learning system
# No external dependencies or servers needed
```

**`requirements.txt`** (root level):
```
streamlit>=1.28.0
numpy>=1.21.0
pandas>=1.3.0
```

**`README.md`** (with HF config at top):

### **2. Federated Learning Process:**
1. **Client Registration**: Banks register with the federated server
2. **Local Training**: Each bank trains on their private data (simulated)
3. **Model Updates**: Only model weights are shared (not raw data)
4. **Aggregation**: Server combines updates using FedAvg algorithm
5. **Global Model**: Updated model distributed to all participants
6. **Predictions**: Users get credit scores from the collaborative model

### **3. Privacy Protection:**
- 🔒 **Data Never Leaves**: Each bank's data stays completely local
- 🔒 **Model Updates Only**: Only gradients/weights are shared
- 🔒 **No Central Database**: No single point of data collection
- 🔒 **Collaborative Learning**: Multiple banks improve the model together

## 🎮 **User Experience**

### **What Users Can Do:**
1. **Enter customer features** and get credit score predictions
2. **Start client simulators** to participate in federated learning
3. **Control training rounds** and watch the model improve
4. **View real-time metrics** and training progress
5. **Learn about federated learning** through interactive demos
