Architecture Overview

System Overview

The PropTech Variance Commentary Tool ingests property finance workbooks, normalises data into a relational model, and generates AI-authored variance narratives for month-end reporting.

Core Modules

  • Data Ingestion & Sanitisation — Converts Knight Frank-style XLSM exports into a privacy-safe dataset
  • SQL Modelling Layer — Builds structured tables for ledgers, payables, and property metadata
  • Variance Engine — Calculates period deltas and surfaces exceptions that need commentary
  • AI Commentary Service — Prompts foundation models to draft auditor-friendly explanations
  • Publishing Pipeline — Outputs summaries back into Excel, PDF, or downstream dashboards

Integrations

  • Unified AI Client connects to approved models (Gemma, Gemini, Claude) through the LostMind AI ai-compute service
  • TurboRepo Services supply shared authentication, logging, and observability utilities
  • Security Scans enforce data-governance policies before reports leave the environment

Security Considerations

  • Mandatory sanitisation step strips vendor names and sensitive PII before processing
  • Configurable AI routing keeps regulated data on compliant infrastructure
  • Audit logs capture every generated commentary block for finance review
