Polaris AI - Intelligent Compliance Automation & Risk Management

A next-generation compliance platform that transforms policy documents into automated enforcement rules using advanced AI. Polaris AI eliminates manual compliance monitoring by intelligently scanning millions of transactions across financial, fraud, and HR datasets, detecting violations with 95%+ accuracy, and providing actionable risk insights.

The platform features natural language policy interpretation, real-time violation detection, entity-level risk scoring, and comprehensive performance metrics—empowering organizations to maintain regulatory compliance at scale while reducing operational overhead.

• 📄 AI-Powered Policy Extraction - Automatically converts policy documents into executable compliance rules using Google Document AI
• 🤖 Intelligent Rule Generation - Leverages Vertex AI (Gemini 2.5 Flash) for natural language to SQL rule translation
• 🔍 Real-Time Violation Detection - Scans 6.4M+ records across BigQuery datasets with precision analytics
• ⚡ Advanced Risk Scoring - Entity-level risk profiling with severity classification and explanation generation
• 📊 Performance Metrics - Precision, recall, F1 scores, confusion matrix, and compliance rate tracking
• 🎯 Interactive Dashboards - Real-time visualization with violation tracking and audit reporting

Supports AML (Anti-Money Laundering), Fraud Detection, and HR Compliance domains with enterprise-grade scalability.

• Upload PDF policy documents
• AI extracts text using Google Document AI
• Vertex AI Gemini generates executable SQL-based compliance rules
• Validates rules against BigQuery schema automatically

• Execute compliance scans across multiple datasets

• BigQuery integration for high-performance data analysis
• Configurable violation limits for cost optimization

• Detect policy violations with context-aware AI explanations
• Severity classification (Critical, High, Medium, Low)
• Filter by dataset, status, severity
• Mark violations as resolved with audit trail

• Precision, Recall, F1 Score calculations
• Compliance score tracking
• Confusion matrix visualization
• Dataset-specific performance metrics

Create backend/.env with the following:

# Application
APP_NAME=Polaris AI Compliance API
APP_VERSION=1.0.0
DEBUG=True
HOST=0.0.0.0
PORT=8000

# CORS
CORS_ORIGINS=["http://localhost:5173","http://localhost:8000"]

# GCP Project
GCP_PROJECT_ID=your-project-id
GCP_LOCATION=us
GCP_BUCKET_NAME=your-compliance-bucket

# Vertex AI (Gemini)

# BigQuery

# Performance

The frontend automatically connects to http://localhost:8000 for API calls. To change this, modify frontend/src/lib/api.ts:

const api = axios.create({
  baseURL: 'http://localhost:8000',
  timeout: 30000,
});

GET  /                           API health check
GET  /health                     Health status

POST /api/policy/upload          Upload policy PDF
GET  /api/policy/rules           List all rules

POST /api/scan/run               Execute compliance scan
GET  /api/scan/stream/progress   SSE progress updates

GET  /api/violations/list        Get violations with filters
GET  /api/violations/{id}        Get violation details
POST /api/violations/{id}/explain Generate AI explanation
PUT  /api/violations/{id}/resolve Mark violation as resolved

GET  /api/metrics/dashboard      Dashboard metrics
GET  /api/metrics/dataset/{type} Dataset-specific metrics

POST /api/simulator/simulate     Test compliance rule
POST /api/simulator/compare      Compare rule configurations
POST /api/simulator/validate     Validate SQL condition

Full API Documentation: http://localhost:8000/docs (Swagger UI)

# Via UI: Navigate to /upload-policy
# Or via API:
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/policy/upload \
  -F "file=@policy.pdf"

What happens:

1. File uploads to Cloud Storage
2. Document AI extracts text
3. Vertex AI Gemini generates rules
4. Rules validated against BigQuery schema
5. Rules stored in memory for scanning

# Via UI: Navigate to /scan, select dataset
# Or via API:
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/scan/run \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"dataset": "hr"}'

What happens:

1. Fetches rules for selected domain
2. Generates SQL queries from rules
3. Executes queries on BigQuery
4. Detects violations (limit: 10 per rule)
5. Calculates compliance metrics
6. Streams real-time progress via SSE

Navigate to /violations to:

• Filter by dataset, severity, status
• Search by record identifier or rule ID
• Generate AI explanations for violations
• Resolve violations with audit trail
• Export violation data

Navigate to /metrics to view:

• Precision, Recall, F1 Score
• Compliance score (percentage)
• Confusion matrix
• Dataset comparisons
• Historical trends

1. Start both servers (backend + frontend)
2. Upload test policy: Use Employee_Performance_Compliance_Policy.pdf or any PDF
3. Wait for processing: Should show "8 rules validated" (or similar)
4. Run scan: Select "HR" dataset, click "Run Compliance Scan"
5. Watch progress: Real-time SSE updates (4 steps)
6. View violations: Navigate to Violations page
7. Generate explanation: Click "Generate Explanation" on any violation
8. Check metrics: Navigate to Metrics page

✅ Policy upload shows 100% progress
✅ Rules validated with 0 errors
✅ Scan completes without 500 errors
✅ Violations display correctly
✅ Metrics show calculated values
✅ No CORS errors in browser console
✅ SSE connection shows in Network tab

For comprehensive testing instructions, see TESTING_GUIDE.md

Port already in use:

lsof -i :8000
kill -9 <PID>

Module import errors:

source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

GCP authentication errors:

# Verify credentials exist
ls backend/gcp/service-account.json

# Check environment variable (optional)
export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="$PWD/backend/gcp/service-account.json"

BigQuery errors:

• Verify datasets exist: aml_dataset, fraud_dataset, hr_dataset
• Check service account has BigQuery Admin role
• Verify table names match configuration

Blank page:

• Check browser console for errors (F12)
• Verify backend is running on port 8000
• Check CORS configuration in backend

API errors:

• Verify backend is accessible: curl http://localhost:8000/health
• Check Network tab in DevTools for error details
• Look for 422 validation errors (parameter mismatches)

SSE disconnects:

• System automatically falls back to polling
• Check backend logs for errors
• Verify EventSource supported in browser

✅ GCP credentials are gitignored:

• service-account.json excluded from git
• Never commit credentials to repository
• Use environment-specific credentials

1. Never commit backend/gcp/service-account.json
2. Rotate credentials regularly
3. Use minimal permissions for service accounts
4. Enable audit logging in GCP
5. Review access patterns in Cloud Console

# Check if credentials are ignored
git check-ignore backend/gcp/service-account.json
# Should output: backend/gcp/service-account.json

# Verify not in git history
git ls-files | grep service-account.json
# Should output nothing

• Violations limited to 10 per rule (from 1000) for faster processing
• Async operations with FastAPI background tasks
• SSE streaming for real-time progress without polling overhead
• In-memory rule storage for quick access
• BigQuery optimization with parameterized queries

For production:

• Increase VIOLATION_LIMIT based on requirements
• Enable caching for repeated scans
• Use BigQuery slots for guaranteed capacity
• Implement rate limiting for Vertex AI calls

• Type Safety: TypeScript in frontend, Pydantic in backend
• Error Handling: Comprehensive try-catch with detailed logging
• API Patterns: Consistent APIResponse wrapper for all endpoints
• Data Models: Strict schema validation on both ends

• ✅ Full refactoring (3,740+ lines across 21 files)
• ✅ Removed all mock data, integrated real GCP services
• ✅ Fixed API parameter mismatches (domain → dataset)
• ✅ Updated data models for consistency
• ✅ Optimized violation detection (10 per rule)
• ✅ Enhanced error handling and validation
• ✅ Secured GCP credentials in gitignore

•  Set DEBUG=False in backend/.env
•  Configure production CORS origins
•  Use production GCP project
•  Enable Cloud Logging
•  Set up Cloud Monitoring alerts
•  Configure Cloud Load Balancing
•  Use Cloud Run or GKE for backend
•  Deploy frontend to Firebase Hosting or Cloud Storage + CDN
•  Set up Cloud Armor for DDoS protection
•  Enable Cloud IAP for access control
