## Overview

This is a finance-management application: staff use a web UI to manage accounting and operational records, then view dashboards, reports, forecasts, and AI-generated guidance. The frontend calls a Laravel API, which exposes domain controllers and services backed by persistent financial records. Forecasting and AI are distinct stages: Laravel can delegate forecasting to a Python ARIMA service, while advisor and recommendation integrations can use an AI microservice or other configured engines. File uploads use private object storage. The README is absent and most controllers are unsampled, so links beyond the documented calls are intentionally conservative.
