Industrial Labs Portal - Comprehensive System Analysis v2
Deep-dive verification-first analysis. Every claim backed by file:line references. Generated 2026-03-03.
1. Executive Summary
Multi-tenant SaaS platform for private-fund performance analytics. Core loop: upload fund data, run Bayesian MCMC on a Ray cluster, deliver posterior estimates and reports to clients.
Technology Stack
- Portal: FastAPI + Jinja2 + Starlette sessions
- Auth: AWS Cognito OAuth2 + JWT RS256 + local bcrypt
- Database: Aurora PostgreSQL with RLS
- Compute: PhoenixNAP Ray cluster, JAX/NumPyro MCMC (NUTS)
- Storage: S3 (AES256 server-side encryption)
- Billing: Stripe webhooks + custom invoicing
- Excel Add-in: Office.js with API key auth
- Deployment: ALB + ASG (2-4 instances), AMI baking
- VPN: Tailscale mesh between AWS and PhoenixNAP
Key Design Principles
- 3-tier SHA-256 identity: file_identity_hash -> fund_identity_hash -> data_hash
- fund_identity_hash is the central organizing concept across all 15+ tables
- SOC 2 Type II: append-only/soft-delete, config hashing, audit logs
- FAIL LOUDLY: no silent fallbacks for critical operations
- Independent expanding windows: production uses same priors for all windows (0:5 through 0:T); sequential Bayesian updating (t-1 posteriors → t priors) exists in code but is Shiny-app only, not used in portal production runs
- 18 RLS-protected tables enforcing org isolation

4.2 Authentication Patterns
Pattern A: Session-based HTML pages
require_super_admin() checks request.session.get("user") then db.is_super_admin(user_id). Returns redirect to /login if unauthorized.
admin_routes.py:57, dependencies.py:193+
Pattern B: API JSON endpoints
get_current_user(request) + db.is_super_admin(str(user['id'])). Returns HTTPException(403) if unauthorized.
cluster_routes.py:25-28, model_run_routes.py:37-39
Pattern C: Cluster Token machine-to-machine
_validate_cluster_token() checks X-Cluster-Token header against settings.CLUSTER_API_TOKEN.
model_run_routes.py:13-20
Pattern D: API Key Excel Add-in
Authorization: Bearer sk_live_... header. Key SHA-256 hashed for lookup in api_keys.key_hash.
excel_api_routes.py:34-70
RBAC Role Hierarchy
dependencies.py:193+ -- require_role request minimum_role
4.3 Session Structure

Reading a Relationship
Read left-to-right. The symbol on each end describes that side's cardinality:
A ||--o{ B= Each A has zero or many B's. Each B belongs to exactly one A.A }o--|| B= Many A's link to exactly one B. A is optional (zero OK).A }o--o| B= Many A's link to zero or one B. Both sides optional.
Key Symbols
- | (bar) = must exist (mandatory)
- o (circle) = may not exist (optional)
- { } (fork) = many
The label after the colon (e.g. : fund_identity_hash) indicates the FK join column.

All functions in database.py:2541-2663. All use SHA-256 producing 64-char hex.
6.2 fund_identity_hash: The Central Organizing Concept
fund_identity_hash appears in 15 table columns and is the FK hub connecting uploads, versions, posteriors, deliverables, subscriptions, configs, and history.
Full mapping: deep_hash_identity_system.md Sections 4.1-4.7
6.3 Alias Resolution - Rename Tracking
detect_rename_on_upload() at database.py:2825-2853 checks if a fund_name exists under a different filename in the same org.
resolve_fund_identity_hash() at database.py:2786-2822 follows alias chain with max depth 5 and circular reference protection.
6.4 Version Deduplication by data_hash
process_and_store_fund_data at database.py:3385-3517
Version numbering scoped to (organization_id, fund_identity_hash). Auto-incremented via MAX(version_number) + 1 with UniqueViolation retry 3 attempts.
save_fund_data_version at database.py:2906-3046
6.5 Normalization Subtleties
organization_id: ALWAYS lowercased.lower().strip()original_filename: NEVER lowercased only.strip()--test.xlsxvsTest.xlsxproduce DIFFERENT hashesfund_name: NEVER lowercased only.strip()--Fund_1vsfund_1produce DIFFERENT hashes- Migration 005 SQL backfill uses
::byteacast; Python uses.encode('utf-8')-- could diverge for non-ASCII filenames

8. Hierarchical Model Deep Dive
File: portal/cluster_app/model/model_hierarchical.py 10,486 lines
Model Architecture
8.1 Prior Construction: Two-Category System
Category 1 comparable/cashflow: alpha_c, beta_c_M, sigma_c, delta, sigma_d -- use EXTERNAL OLS/GARCH estimates
Category 2 fund-level: alpha, beta, F, sigma_F, lambda, sigma_n -- use INTERNAL posteriors from t-1
model_hierarchical.py:230-369
8.2 Five Likelihood Components
| # | Component | Formula | Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Fund Return Process | R_t = alpha + beta * R_m,t + F * sqrt h_t * e_t |
~line 2369 |
| 2 | Comparable Asset Returns | r_c,t = alpha_c + beta_c_M * log 1+R_m,t + beta_c_F * e_t |
~line 2432 |
| 3 | Fund Distributions | d_t ~ N log delta_t + log V_t-1, sigma_d |
~line 2633 |
| 4 | GP Reported NAVs | NAV_GP ~ TN nav_bar, sigma_n, lb, ub with 2-period lag and lambda smoothing |
~line 2675 |
| 5 | Secondary + Third-Party | N log price_t | log V_t, sigma_secondary |
~line 2749 |
8.3 MCMC Execution
Init Strategy Fallback Chain: init_to_median then init_to_feasible then init_to_uniform
model_hierarchical.py:5050-5100 fit_funds_jointly, 5350-5400 fit_fund_at_time_t
State Carry 12 elements for single-fund, dict-based for hierarchical:
cum_C, cum_D, cumulative_rate, r_bar_prev, R_t_prev, V_prev, gp_nav_bar_prev, nav_approx_prev, e_prev, cum_C_minus_D_prev, r_bar_history, rng_key
Scan invocation: scan transition, init_carry, jnp.arange T
model_hierarchical.py:~2880
Key constraint: scan inside plate = NOT supported. plate inside scan = supported. This dictates the entire model structure.
model_hierarchical.py:18-21
8.4 Parallelization Strategies - 6 modes
| Strategy | Description | Portal Usage |
|---|---|---|
| Sequential | One fund at a time, all time points | No internal testing |
| 1D Parallel | Parallelize across funds time sequential | No |
| 2D Parallel | Parallelize across funds AND time with lag dependency | No |
| 3D Parallel | Parallelize across funds time AND MCMC chains | No |
| True Flat | All fund-time pairs as independent Ray tasks | Yes |
| No Priority | True Flat without priority ordering | Yes |
Portal forces true_flat_mode=True + no_priority=True for all non-hierarchical runs.
run_job.py:1222-1226
8.5 Posterior Predictive Sampling
Common Random Numbers CRN for variance reduction:
fund_return: max_time x n_samples N 0,1distribution: max_time x n_samples N 0,1comparable: max_time x n_samples N 0,1nav: max_time x n_samples Uniform 0,1 for truncnorm ppf
Memory: ~32 MB for 500 time points x 2000 samples.
model_hierarchical.py:5754-5790 generate_master_shocks
9. Evergreen Model Deep Dive
File: portal/cluster_app/model/model_evergreen.py 2,301 lines
This file does NOT define its own NumPyro model. It builds data for and calls fit_funds_jointly() from model_hierarchical.py, passing active_mask and fund_entry_times.
Evergreen Architecture
9.1 Global Timeline Alignment
Each fund may start at a different calendar date. align_evergreen_data_to_global_timeline() lines 83-682 aligns all arrays to a shared global timeline by zero-padding the front.
- ZERO_PAD_KEYS: contributions, distributions -- padded with 0.0
- NAN_PAD_KEYS: quarterly_nav_gp, nav_naive, True_V -- padded with NaN
- BOOL_PAD_KEYS: has_distribution, has_nav_gp -- padded with False
- Each fund gets its own aligned pair entry with padded arrays
model_evergreen.py:83-682
9.2 Fund Lifecycle and EOL Detection
compute_evergreen_per_fund_lifecycle() lines 689-813 computes per-fund metadata:
- T_start: First week with non-zero contribution
- T_end: Adjusted for EOL via
compute_fund_end_week()from model_hierarchical.py - T_data_len: Total data array length
- pme_naive_nav: Pre-computed PME-naive NAV for EOL substitution
9.3 Evergreen Data Construction - 9-step pipeline
build_evergreen_at_window() lines 1090-1684 builds the synthetic Fund_EG for a specific window:
- Active fund set per t -- determine which funds are active
- Normalizer -- sum of per-fund normalizers
- Cash flow aggregation -- weighted C, D
- GP NAV aggregation -- with EOL PME-naive + PP imputation two-pass
- Weighted comparable returns -- GP-NAV-proportion-weighted
- OLS on aggregated comparables -- alpha_c, beta_c_M, sigma_c
- GARCH -- h_c_t conditional variance
- PME-naive NAV -- from aggregated cash flows
- True_V / delta / sigma_d / True Fund Returns
model_evergreen.py:1090-1684
9.4 Hierarchical Model Integration
The evergreen model passes two critical arrays to create_hierarchical_navcast_model():
active_mask: shape num_funds x T -- True where fund is activefund_entry_times: shape num_funds -- week each fund enters
Inside the hierarchical model transition function:
- Inactive funds: state is frozen no update
- Entry reset: cumulative variables reset when fund first becomes active
- Deterministics recorded AFTER evergreen reset
model_hierarchical.py:4890-4920 freeze/entry-reset logic
10. Infrastructure
AWS + PhoenixNAP Architecture
10.1 Deployment Flow
deploy-to-asg.sh, deploy-to-ec2.sh at repository root
10.2 Tailscale VPN Mesh
All portal-to-cluster communication traverses Tailscale VPN:
- SCP: pickle file from portal worker to cluster at
/home/ubuntu/jobs/job_id.pkl - SSH: portal worker SSHes to cluster to execute
python run_job.py job_id - HTTP: cluster POSTs finalize to portal via Tailscale IP
- Presigned S3 URLs: cluster uploads results directly to S3 bypasses VPN for data
11. Admin and Client Interfaces
11.1 Admin Dashboard Overview
11.2 Cluster Management - 28 routes
cluster_routes.py 3,346 lines provides the admin cluster management interface.
- Fund selection: AG Grid with complex JOINs across upload_funds, fund_identities, fund_data_versions, posterior_results, fund_estimation_history
- Model config: CRUD on model_config_history with config_hash tamper detection
- Run management: Submit, process pending, cancel, retry
- DGP Simulation Lab: Submit simulation jobs with synthetic data
- Cluster.html template: 28,059-line mega-template with AG Grid, charts, estimation panels
portal/app/routers/cluster_routes.py, portal/templates/admin/cluster.html
11.3 Stripe Billing Integration
billing_routes.py:1-687
Also supports custom invoicing via custom_invoices table for billing_type='invoice' orgs.
11.4 Excel Add-in
Key differences from portal upload:
upload_source='excel_addin'- Returns JSON not redirect
- Includes
fund_hash_mapwith per-fund hashes - Versioning failures are HARD errors RuntimeError
- Delivery gate:
_check_excel_delivery()checks product_selections for Excel plugin

16. Discrepancies Found
6 discrepancies identified during cross-verification. All LOW to MEDIUM severity. No critical contradictions.
#1: VARCHAR Width Inconsistency LOW
All SHA-256 hashes produce 64-char hex, but two columns are wider than needed:
simulation_results.fund_identity_hash: VARCHAR 255 -- 3.98x wider migration 020:6model_runs.evergreen_identity_hash: VARCHAR 256 -- 4x wider database.py:8264
Standard everywhere else: VARCHAR 64. Both work correctly. Minor schema inconsistency.
#2: results_hash Column Unused LOW
model_runs.results_hash VARCHAR 64 exists database.py:8243 but is never populated by current cluster code. The finalize payload does NOT include results_hash. Planned SOC 2 reproducibility feature, not yet implemented.
#3: GARCH Method Count Mismatch 6 vs 5 MEDIUM
model_hierarchical.py documents 6 GARCH methods. fund_processor.py implements 5. Missing: Daily GARCH-X Aggregated.
If configured, would fail at data preparation time. The model can reference a method that fund_processor does not compute.
model_hierarchical.py Section 10 vs fund_processor.py:1511-1823
#4: Unauthenticated Endpoints MEDIUM
Two endpoints have NO authentication:
GET /api/funds/hash/last-posteriorsportal_routes.py:572GET /api/funds/hash/market-statsportal_routes.py:634 -- explicitly bypasses RLS with superuser connection line 673-674
Fund_identity_hash is a 64-char SHA-256 effectively unguessable, but if leaked, data is exposed without authentication.
#5: fund_estimation_history Legacy UNIQUE Constraint LOW
UNIQUE constraint on fund_id, asset_class, model_run_id uses legacy fund_id fund name string, NOT fund_identity_hash. Could theoretically allow duplicates for same fund_identity_hash if fund_id strings differ.
database.py:9021
#6: model_config_history Hard Delete MEDIUM
delete_model_config() at database.py:8036 performs a HARD DELETE -- exception to the SOC 2 append-only/soft-delete pattern used everywhere else. Configs can be permanently destroyed, losing audit trail.

18. Methodology
Verification-First Approach
- Phase 1 -- Raw Discovery: 7 domain analysts independently documented their code sections. Every claim backed by file:line references.
- Phase 2 -- Deep Dive: Each analyst produced a deep_*.md file with line-by-line code analysis.
- Phase 3 -- Cross-Verification: All 7 deep files cross-checked at system boundaries. 4 end-to-end flows traced across all outputs.
- Phase 4 -- Synthesis: All findings compiled into this document with Mermaid diagrams.
