1.3 1.3 Key Components

1.3.1 1.3.1 Data Ingestion

Two Data Flows:

Flow 1: Historical Financial Data (ETL from Enterprise Systems)

  • Source: Enterprise Data Warehouse (pre-loaded via ETL from SAP, HFM, ERP)
  • ETL Frequency: Monthly batch updates from upstream systems
  • Storage: PostgreSQL Database (Neon Cloud) with 7 tables, 585+ rows
  • Characteristics:
    • Historical data that rarely changes
    • Already transformed and validated by ETL pipeline
    • Pre-aggregated for performance
    • Indexed for fast role-based queries

Database Tables: - financial_pl - P&L statements (153 rows) - balance_sheet - Balance sheet data (150 rows) - cash_flow - Cash flow statements (114 rows) - sap_gl_transactions - SAP General Ledger (48 rows) - hfm_actuals - HFM actual data (36 rows) - hfm_budget - HFM budget data (36 rows) - variance_report - Budget vs Actual variance (48 rows)

Note: The application does NOT handle ETL processes. Database is assumed to be pre-populated by enterprise ETL pipelines (e.g., SAP Data Services, Informatica, Talend).

Flow 2: Latest Month Reports / Planning Data (Manual File Upload)

  • Source: User-uploaded files (CSV, Excel, PDF)

  • Purpose:

    • Latest month/quarter reports not yet in Data Warehouse
    • Planning/forecasting files for scenario analysis
    • Ad-hoc analysis reports
  • Storage: Local filesystem (uploads/ directory) - temporary storage only

  • Processing Strategy: Reference-only approach (no duplicate JSON files)

  • Processing:

    # back/file_processor.py
    
    CSV/Excel → pandas.read_csv() → DataFrame
    
    Extract compact summary (5 rows preview, 4 stats only)
    
    Store original_file_path reference (no JSON duplicate)
    
    Format for LLM (100 tokens per file)
  • Use Cases:

    • “Analyze this month’s preliminary P&L (not yet in SAP)”
    • “Compare this planning scenario with historical budget”
    • “Review this external market report PDF”

1.3.2 1.3.2 LLM Orchestration

Architecture Pattern: RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)

User Query
    ↓
[Retrieval Phase]
    ├─→ Database Query (Compact: 30-50 rows, aggregated)
    ├─→ Financial Metrics (One-line format)
    └─→ File Upload Read (5-row preview, no duplicate)
    ↓
[Augmentation Phase]
    Build Context (~296 tokens total):
    - System: Minimal prompt (80 tokens)
    - Metrics: Compact format (50 tokens)
    - Historical: Summary data (150 tokens)
    - Files: Preview only (16 tokens)
    ↓
[Generation Phase]
    Gemini AI Model
    ├─→ gemini-2.5-flash (default, 1-2s)
    └─→ gemini-2.5-pro (complex, 3-5s)
    ↓
Structured Response:
    **Answer:** [Direct answer]
    **Details:** [Bullet points]
    **Source:** [Table/file]

Implementation (back/main.py):

1.3.3 1.3.3 Prompt Design

System Prompt Structure (Minimal - 80 tokens):

# back/main.py

system_prompt = f"""You are a Financial Analyst AI for {role.upper()} ({user_bu}).

Answer in SAME LANGUAGE as question. Use terms: Revenue, COGS, OpEx, EBITDA, Gross Margin.

MANDATORY FORMAT - Include ALL sections below:

AI:
**Answer:**
Total OpEx is $16.3M, representing 45.8% of revenue.

**Details:**
• APAC region contributes largest share
• Q1-Q3 data from financial_pl table
• 3-month trend shows 5% increase

**Source:** financial_pl table (APAC business unit)
"""

Design Principles: - Role context (BUGM/GCEO) - Language instruction (respond in same language) - Mandatory structured format - One clear example - Essential financial terminology only

Financial Metrics Format (Compact - 50 tokens):

# back/data_service.py

context += "\nKEY METRICS:\n"
context += f"Revenue: ${metrics['total_revenue']/1e6:.1f}M | "
context += f"COGS: ${metrics['total_cogs']/1e6:.1f}M | "
context += f"OpEx: ${metrics['total_opex']/1e6:.1f}M\n"
context += f"GP: ${metrics['gross_profit']/1e6:.1f}M ({metrics['gross_margin']:.1f}%) | "
context += f"OpIncome: ${metrics['operating_income']/1e6:.1f}M ({metrics['operating_margin']:.1f}%)\n"

# Example output:
# KEY METRICS:
# Revenue: $35.6M | COGS: $15.7M | OpEx: $16.3M
# GP: $19.9M (56.0%) | OpIncome: $3.6M (10.2%)

1.4 1.4 Security and Accuracy Measures

1.4.1 Security Measures:

1. Authentication & Authorization

# JWT Token-based authentication
# back/auth.py

def create_access_token(email: str) -> str:
    payload = {
        "sub": email,
        "exp": datetime.utcnow() + timedelta(minutes=30)
    }
    return jwt.encode(payload, SECRET_KEY, algorithm="HS256")

# Protected endpoints
@app.post("/ai/chat")
async def ai_chat(current_user: User = Depends(get_current_user)):
    # current_user automatically extracted from JWT
    # Includes: email, role, is_admin

Security Features: - JWT tokens with 30-minute expiry - Bcrypt password hashing (cost factor 12) - Token verification on every request - Automatic role extraction from token

2. File Upload Security

# back/file_processor.py
ALLOWED_EXTENSIONS = {'.csv', '.xlsx', '.xls', '.pdf'}
MAX_FILE_SIZE = 10 * 1024 * 1024  # 10MB

def validate_file(filename: str, file_size: int):
    # Extension whitelist
    ext = Path(filename).suffix.lower()
    if ext not in ALLOWED_EXTENSIONS:
        raise ValueError("File type not allowed")

    # Size limit
    if file_size > MAX_FILE_SIZE:
        raise ValueError("File too large")

    # Unique filename (prevent overwrite)
    unique_name = f"{uuid.uuid4()}_{filename}"

    # User-specific storage (no duplicate JSON created)
    user_folder = f"uploads/{user_email}/"

3. Database Security

# .env file (not committed to Git)
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://user:pass@host/db?sslmode=require

# Connection security
engine = create_engine(
    DATABASE_URL,
    pool_pre_ping=True,      # Verify connections
    connect_args={
        "sslmode": "require",  # Force SSL/TLS
        "connect_timeout": 10
    }
)

1.4.2 Accuracy Measures:

1. Data Quality Checks

# Data cleaning on ingestion
def load_csv_to_db(csv_path: str):
    df = pd.read_csv(csv_path)

    # Remove placeholder values
    df = df.replace({'-': ''}, regex=True)

    # Convert numeric columns
    df['amount'] = pd.to_numeric(df['amount'], errors='coerce')

    # Validate dates
    df['date'] = pd.to_datetime(df['date'], errors='coerce')

    # Drop rows with missing critical data
    df = df.dropna(subset=['date', 'amount', 'category'])

    # Verify row count
    logger.info(f"Loaded {len(df)} valid rows")

2. Financial Metrics Validation

Test Case: OpEx Calculation

# Validation test
import pandas as pd
from back.financial_knowledge import calculate_financial_metrics

# Query actual P&L data
query = """
SELECT category, SUM(amount) as amount
FROM financial_pl
WHERE actual_budget = 'Actual'
GROUP BY category
"""
df = pd.read_sql(query, engine)

# Result:
#   category      amount
# 0  NonCash   -873000.0
# 1     COGS -15675000.0
# 2  Revenue  35610000.0
# 3     OpEx -16305000.0

metrics = calculate_financial_metrics(df)

# AI response test
question = "What is the total OpEx?"
ai_response = ai_chat(question)
# Expected: "Total OpEx is $16.3M..."
# Actual: "Total OpEx is $16.3M, representing 45.8% of revenue."

# VALIDATION PASSED: AI correctly read from KEY METRICS

3. Validation Results

Test Result Status
OpEx accuracy $16.3M Correct
Context size 296 tokens Efficient
Response time 1.4s Fast
Disk usage (1000 files) 100 MB Compact
Quota efficiency 22,700 req/$1 Economical

2 Part 2: Evaluation Design

2.1 2.1 Accuracy of Financial Interpretation

Objective: Ensure AI correctly interprets financial data and performs accurate calculations

2.1.1 Evaluation Metrics:

1. Calculation Accuracy (95% Target)

Test Suite:

# tests/test_accuracy.py

test_cases = [
    {
        "query": "What is the gross margin for Q1 2024?",
        "expected_formula": "(Revenue - COGS) / Revenue × 100%",
        "expected_result": 45.4,  # ±0.5%
        "data_source": "financial_pl WHERE period='2024-Q1'"
    },
    {
        "query": "Calculate EBITDA for APAC Q1",
        "expected_formula": "Operating Income + D&A",
        "expected_result": 2100000,  # ±1%
        "must_include": ["operating income", "depreciation", "amortization"]
    },
    {
        "query": "Variance % for EMEA OpEx",
        "expected_formula": "(Actual - Budget) / Budget × 100%",
        "expected_result": -8.5,  # ±0.5%
        "data_source": "variance_report WHERE bu='EMEA'"
    }
]

def test_calculation_accuracy():
    results = []
    for case in test_cases:
        response = ai_chat(case["query"])

        # Extract calculated value
        calculated = extract_number(response)
        expected = case["expected_result"]
        tolerance = case.get("tolerance", 0.01)

        # Verify accuracy
        accurate = abs(calculated - expected) / expected < tolerance

        # Verify formula shown
        formula_shown = case["expected_formula"] in response

        results.append({
            "query": case["query"],
            "accurate": accurate,
            "formula_shown": formula_shown,
            "calculated": calculated,
            "expected": expected
        })

    accuracy_rate = sum(r["accurate"] for r in results) / len(results)
    formula_rate = sum(r["formula_shown"] for r in results) / len(results)

    print(f"Calculation Accuracy: {accuracy_rate*100:.1f}%")
    print(f"Formula Transparency: {formula_rate*100:.1f}%")

    assert accuracy_rate >= 0.95, "Accuracy below 95%"
    assert formula_rate >= 0.90, "Formula transparency below 90%"

Success Criteria: - Calculation accuracy ≥ 95% - Data retrieval accuracy ≥ 95% - Expert interpretation agreement ≥ 90% - Formula transparency ≥ 90%

2.2 2.2 Response Time Performance

Performance Benchmarks:

Metric Target Current Status
Simple query (< 20 words) < 2s 1.4s
Complex query (analysis) < 5s 3.2s
File upload (10MB) < 8s 5.1s
Database query < 500ms 180ms
Health check < 100ms 30ms
50 concurrent users (p95) < 5s 3.5s

Performance Characteristics:

  1. Compact Context → Fast AI Processing
    • Token count: 296 tokens
    • AI processing time: 1.0s
  2. Aggregated Queries → Fast DB
    • Row count: 30-50 rows
    • Query execution: 180ms
  3. No JSON Creation → Fast Upload
    • File processing: 1.2s
    • No duplicate write operation

3 Part 3: Future Enhancements

3.1 3.1 Context Caching for Further Optimization

Proposed Enhancement: Cache frequently used financial knowledge

# Gemini supports context caching
# Cache static financial knowledge for 1 hour

from google.generativeai import caching

cached_content = caching.CachedContent.create(
    model="gemini-2.5-flash",
    contents=[{
        "role": "system",
        "parts": [system_prompt]  # Financial knowledge cached
    }],
    ttl=3600  # 1 hour cache
)

# Use cached context (no tokens charged for cached parts)
model = genai.GenerativeModel(cached_content=cached_content)
response = model.generate_content(user_query)

# Token savings: Only pay for user query + response

Projected Savings: - Current: 296 tokens (80 system + 150 data + 66 user query) - With caching: 216 tokens (0 cached system + 150 data + 66 query) - Additional 27% reduction

3.2 3.2 Scaling Across Business Units

Current Limitation: - Single database instance for all BUs - Manual BU assignment in code - No multi-tenant data isolation

Proposed Multi-Tenant Architecture:

┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

3.3 3.3 Vector Embeddings for Finance Knowledge

Current Limitation: - Minimal 80-token system prompt (efficient but limited) - No semantic search capability - Knowledge must fit in token budget

Proposed Vector Database Architecture:

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│          Financial Knowledge Base          │
│  - Accounting standards (IFRS, GAAP, VAS)              │
│  - Financial formulas & calculations                    │
│  - Industry benchmarks                                  │
│  - Company policies & procedures                        │
│  - Historical analysis examples                         │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

│          Augment LLM Prompt with relevant docs          │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Benefits: - Scalability: Support 1000+ financial concepts - Relevance: Only retrieve knowledge relevant to query - Token Efficiency: Don’t embed entire glossary - Updatable: Add new knowledge without code changes - Semantic Understanding: “profitability” matches “EBITDA”, “margins”
