How I Refactored a Streamlit Prototype into a Modular Python Application
When I started building the Human Judgment Preservation Index (HJPI), the first proprietary methodology within Responsibility Lens, my priority was simple: make the idea work. Responsibility Lens is a

I'm a software engineer, founder and maker. I like to work with cutting edge technologies and build new products.
The transition from a single-file Streamlit script to a modular structure is the exact tipping point where a prototype becomes a real product. Decoupling core business logic from the Streamlit rendering layer not only makes writing unit tests far easier, but it also gives you the flexibility to expose that same logic via FastAPI or a CLI later on without a complete rewrite.
In other words: moving business logic out of the presentation layer is a game-changer for long-term maintainability. Once you had everything decoupled into modules, did you add a test suite with pytest, or was the focus mainly on making the Streamlit UI cleaner to extend?
