Platform Architecture

The core of the platform is a proprietary assessment engine that acts as the central nervous system for financial monitoring. Unlike basic dashboards that show static numbers, this engine utilizes a weighted algorithmic approach to calculate a comprehensive "Health Score" (0-100).

• Immutability: The system generates permanent historical snapshots, allowing for precise trend analysis over time without data drift.
• Granular Decomposition: Revenue and expense metrics are not just aggregated; they are analyzed at the component level to identify exactly why a metric is trending up or down.
• Risk & Opportunity Scoring: The engine mathematically balances performance metrics (Profit Margin, Cash Flow) against risk factors (Runway, Burn Rate) to provide a balanced view of business viability.

Seneca Aldwyn introduces a polymorphic architecture for goal tracking that handles both hard numbers and soft objectives.

• Quantitative Tracking: Connects directly to transaction data to auto-update targets like Revenue or Customer Count in real-time.
• Qualitative Analysis: For soft goals (e.g., "Improve Brand Sentiment"), the system employs Natural Language Processing (NLP) to analyze user updates, extracting sentiment and suggesting status changes.

To support the educational philosophy of the platform, Seneca Aldwyn includes a context-aware business tutor. This is not a static help desk, but a conversational AI.

• Context Retention: The AI remembers the thread of inquiry. If a user asks about "Gross Margin" and follows up with "How do I improve it?", the AI understands the context without restatement.
• Action Plans: Theoretical explanations are automatically parsed into trackable, actionable steps within the application.
• Hybrid Resolution: The system leverages an expert-curated glossary for standard definitions to ensure accuracy, falling back to Generative AI only for complex queries.

A core differentiator of Seneca Aldwyn is its rigorous commitment to data standardization. Generic financial advice often fails because margins vary wildly across sectors.

• Industry Classification: The platform classifies users into 63 distinct industries across 9 broad categories. This allows for precise benchmarking.
• Unified Metrics: Over 40+ business metrics are standardized with specific calculation formulas, ensuring that "Profit" means the same thing across every report.
• Semantic Categorization: Transactions are automatically sorted into 13 Income and 40+ Expense categories with intelligent metadata regarding tax deductibility and COGS impact.
