Technical Architecture Enhancements
1. Agent Taxonomy Integration
The FP&A research validates CODITECT's autonomous agent differentiation:
# CODITECT Agent Classification (validated by FP&A research)
class FPAAgentTypes(Enum):
"""Specialized financial agents for CODITECT"""
VARIANCE_ANALYST = "variance_analyst"
# Explains BvA deviations with root cause analysis
# Pattern: Evaluator-Optimizer (iterate until quality threshold)
CASH_FORECASTER = "cash_forecaster"
# 13-week rolling forecast with confidence intervals
# Pattern: Prompt Chaining (data → model → explainer)
RECONCILIATION_AGENT = "reconciliation_agent"
# Bank statement ↔ GL matching at scale
# Pattern: Parallelization (process 1M+ transactions)
COMPLIANCE_VALIDATOR = "compliance_validator"
# SOX/HIPAA/FDA control verification
# Pattern: Evaluator-Optimizer (mandatory for regulated)
DOCUMENT_PROCESSOR = "document_processor"
# Invoice/receipt OCR with GL categorization
# Pattern: Routing (classify → specialized handler)
2. Ground Truth Integration
The FP&A research emphasizes ground truth validation—directly applicable to CODITECT:
| Ground Truth Source | FP&A Context | CODITECT Generalization |
|---|---|---|
| Test execution | Reconciliation accuracy tests | Validation automation |
| Compliance validators | SOX control checks | FDA 21 CFR Part 11 rules |
| FoundationDB state | Prior budget decisions | Audit trail / ADR history |
| Static analysis | Data quality checks | Code/document linting |
| Human checkpoints | CFO approval gates | SME validation points |
3. Compliance Architecture
The immudb + pgaudit pattern from FP&A directly addresses CODITECT compliance needs:
