Release v2.2.0

Hover over any IP address in the findings table to see CARD ownership data
(confirmed/unconfirmed/candidate teams) in an interactive tooltip. Click
'Actions' to open a full modal for confirm/decline/redirect — no queue
item required.

Backend:
- Add direct /api/card/owner/:assetId/confirm|decline|redirect endpoints
- Add quick mode to resolveAssetId (CTEC only, 15s timeout) for tooltip use
- owner-lookup supports ?quick=1 query param with 504 on timeout
- getOwner accepts options for custom timeout

Frontend:
- New CardOwnerTooltip component (portal, hover bridge, cached results)
- New CardDetailModal for confirm/decline/redirect from tooltip
- IP cells show help cursor, trigger tooltip on 400ms hover
- Timeouts (504) not cached — retry on re-hover
- Teams fetch retries silently up to 3x on failure
- Redirect dropdowns show owner-data teams as fallback when teams API fails

+| Diagrams | mermaid |
+
+## Architecture: Single-Port Serving
+
+Express on port 3001 serves **both** the API and the production frontend build:
+- API routes: `/api/*` — handled by Express route handlers
+- Frontend: everything else — served as static files from `frontend/build/`
+
+There is no separate frontend server in production. The React dev server (`npm start` on port 3000) is only for local development with hot-reload. In production and on the dev server, you must run `npm run build` in `frontend/` after any frontend code change, then restart the backend.
+
+**After editing frontend source files:**
+```bash
+cd frontend && npm run build    # Compile new bundle into frontend/build/
+# Then restart backend (or it will serve the new static files on next request)
+```
+
+The CI/CD pipeline handles this automatically — `build-frontend` stage runs before deploy.
+
+## Common Commands
+
+### Backend
+```bash
+cd backend
+node setup.js          # Initialize DB, tables, indexes, default admin user
+node server.js         # Start backend on port 3001 (serves API + frontend build)
+```
+
+### Frontend
+```bash
+cd frontend
+npm install            # Install dependencies
+npm run build          # Production build → frontend/build/ (REQUIRED after code changes)
+npm start              # Dev server on port 3000 (local dev only, NOT used in production)
+npm test               # Run tests (react-scripts test)
+```
+
+### Both servers (from project root)
+```bash
+./start-servers.sh     # Start backend + frontend in background
+./stop-servers.sh      # Stop all servers
+```
+
+### Database Migrations (run from `backend/`)
+```bash
+node migrations/run-all.js    # Runs all migrations in order (idempotent)
+```
+
+### Python Scripts (from `backend/scripts/`)
+```bash
+# Compliance xlsx parsing (called automatically by upload flow)
+python3 parse_compliance_xlsx.py <file>
+
+# Bulk notes import
+python3 import_notes_from_csv.py input.csv --dry-run
+python3 import_notes_from_csv.py input.csv
+```
+
+Python dependencies: `pandas>=2.0.0`, `openpyxl>=3.0.0` (install via apt or venv).
+
+## Environment Configuration
+
+- `backend/.env` — PORT, CORS_ORIGINS, SESSION_SECRET, NVD_API_KEY, Ivanti API credentials
+- `frontend/.env` — REACT_APP_API_BASE, REACT_APP_API_HOST
+- Both `.env` files are gitignored; see `.env.example` files for templates.
+- React env vars are baked in at **build time** — you must rebuild (`npm run build`) after changing them.
+
+## Code Style & Lint Rules
+
+### Unused Variables
+
+The frontend ESLint config enforces `no-unused-vars` as a warning. The CI pipeline fails if warnings exceed 25. To avoid lint failures:
+
+- **Prefix intentionally-unused variables with `_`** — this suppresses the warning. The `varsIgnorePattern: "^_"` and `argsIgnorePattern: "^_"` rules are configured in `frontend/package.json`.
+- Common patterns:
+  - `const [_unused, setFoo] = useState(...)` — destructured value you don't need
+  - `const _legacyRef = useRef(...)` — kept for future use
+  - `function handler(_event) { ... }` — required parameter signature but unused
+- **Do not leave variables unprefixed if unused.** Either use them, remove them, or prefix with `_`.
+- This applies to all frontend code written by the agent.
+
+### Backend
+
+No ESLint is configured for backend — the pipeline uses `node -c` syntax checking only. Keep code clean but there is no automated unused-var enforcement on the backend side.

+|---|---|---|
+| GitLab instance | steam-gitlab.charterlab.com | Self-hosted GitLab |

+| Production target | 71.85.90.6 | Manual deploy trigger, port 3001 |
+
+### Executor: Docker
+
+The pipeline uses **Docker executor** on Runner #6. Jobs run in isolated containers:
+
+- **Install / Lint / Test / Build stages**: `node:18` image
+- **Deploy stages**: `alpine:latest` image (installs `openssh-client` and `rsync` at runtime)
+
+Deploy jobs SSH from inside the Alpine container to the target hosts using a base64-encoded `$SSH_PRIVATE_KEY` stored as a GitLab CI/CD variable.
+
+### CI/CD Variables (project-level)
+
+These are set in GitLab → Settings → CI/CD → Variables:
+
+| Variable | Purpose |
+|---|---|
+| `DATABASE_URL` | PostgreSQL connection string for backend integration tests |
+| `SSH_PRIVATE_KEY` | Base64-encoded private key for deploy SSH access |
+| `GITLAB_PAT` | Project access token for issue comments and release creation |
+
+### Pipeline file
+
+The pipeline is defined in `.gitlab-ci.yml` at the project root. Stages: install → lint → test → build → deploy → verify.

 # Changelog
 
-## v1.0.0 — 2026-05-01
+All notable changes to the STEAM Security Dashboard are documented in this file.
 
-First official release. Consolidates all features developed since initial commit into a stable, documented, deployment-ready package.
+Format follows [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/) and this project uses [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
 
-### Core Platform
-- CVE tracking with multi-vendor support, document storage, and NVD API auto-fill
-- Session-based authentication with four user groups (Admin, Standard_User, Leadership, Read_Only)
-- Full audit logging of all state-changing actions
-- Dark tactical intelligence UI theme with monospace typography
+---
 
-### Ivanti Integration
-- Live sync of open host findings from Ivanti/RiskSense API (auto-sync every 24h)
-- Reporting page with donut metric charts, advanced per-column filtering, inline editing
-- FP workflow submission directly to Ivanti API with file attachments
-- Ivanti Queue — personal staging list for batch FP, Archer, CARD, and Granite workflows
-- Queue item redirect between workflow types after completion
-- Row visibility controls with localStorage persistence
+## [2.2.0] — 2026-06-04
 
-### Archive and Anomaly Tracking
-- Automatic detection of disappeared and returned findings across syncs
-- BU drift checker — classifies archived findings by reason (BU reassignment, severity drift, closed on platform, decommissioned)
-- Return classification — explains why findings came back (BU reassigned back, severity re-escalated, etc.)
-- Findings Trend chart with archive activity sparkline and shift reason tooltips
-- Anomaly banner for significant archive events
+### Features
 
-### Compliance (AEO Posture)
-- Weekly NTS_AEO xlsx upload with diff preview (new, resolved, recurring)
-- Schema drift detection with breaking/silent-miss/cosmetic classification
-- Admin config reconciliation for parser updates
-- Per-team metric health cards with grouped categories and variant pills
-- Device-level violation tracking with timestamped notes history
-- Multi-metric note grouping
-- Upload rollback support
+- **Group by Host toggle** on the Ivanti findings table — collapses duplicate assets (same hostname + IP) with multiple finding IDs into expandable host rows. Hosts with only one finding remain as flat rows. Toggle between grouped and flat views from the toolbar.
+- **CARD ownership tooltip on IP hover** — hover over any IP address in the findings table to see CARD asset ownership data (confirmed/unconfirmed/candidate teams) in an interactive tooltip. Results cached per session for instant re-display.
+- **CARD direct action modal** — click "Actions" in the CARD tooltip to open a full confirm/decline/redirect modal that works directly against the CARD API without needing a queue item.
+- **Inline view panel** in the Archer Template Manager with per-section copy buttons
+- **Queue item redirect in place** — pending queue items can now be redirected without duplicating
 
-### Integrations
-- Jira Data Center — create, sync, and track tickets linked to CVE/vendor pairs
-- Archer — risk acceptance exception tracking (EXC numbers)
-- Atlas InfoSec — action plan cache, bulk creation from row selection, metrics reporting
-- CARD API — Granite/CARD asset lookup for network device workflows
-- NVD API — auto-fill CVE metadata with bulk sync support
+### Bug Fixes
 
-### Knowledge Base
-- Internal document library with inline PDF and Markdown rendering
-- Category-based browsing and search
+- Improve CARD decline error diagnostics and prevent accidental modal dismiss
+- CARD teams fetch retries silently up to 3x on failure with increasing delay
+- Redirect dropdowns show owner-data teams as fallback when the full teams API fails
+- CARD tooltip uses quick mode (CTEC suffix only, 15s timeout) to avoid multi-minute waits
+- Timeouts (504) are not cached — re-hover will retry the lookup
 
-### Admin
-- Full-page admin panel with user management, audit log, and system info tabs
-- Themed confirm modals replacing browser dialogs
-- User profile panel with self-service password change
+---
+
+## [2.1.0] — 2026-06-06
+
+### Features
+
+- **Archer Template Library** — new template management system for Archer Risk Acceptance forms. Store static content (Environment Overview, Segmentation, Mitigating Controls) organized by Vendor > Platform > Model. Full CRUD with clone, search/filter, and per-section copy-to-clipboard. Accessible from the nav drawer (Template Mgr) and integrated into the Ivanti Queue for Archer workflow items.
+- **Estimated resolution date per metric** — the compliance asset sidebar now shows each noncompliant metric's estimated resolution date at the top of its section, in `YYYY-MM-DD` format, with placeholders for metrics that have no date set or an invalid date (closes #20)
+- **CARD Action Modal** with full owner context
+- **Granite Loader Sheet generator** with CARD enrichment, plus a Loader Sheet button on the Reporting page queue panel
+- **Vendor-specific issue type dropdown** for Jira ticket creation, with all vendor project keys
+- **LIVE and LAST REPORT badges** on the VCL compliance page
+- **Collapsible sections** on the Ivanti Queue page and side panel
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+- Fix remediation plan and resolution date missing from the compliance table; format `resolution_date` as `YYYY-MM-DD`
+- Improve CARD action error messages and default loader columns
+- Fix CARD production timeout by forcing IPv4 (`dns.setDefaultResultOrder('ipv4first')`)
+- Add IP address validation to CARD confirm/decline/redirect actions
+- Auto-resolve bare IP to CARD asset ID with suffix lookup
+- Increase CARD API timeout from 15s to 30s
+- Rewrite CARD enrich-batch to use the team assets endpoint for full data
+
+---
+
+## [2.0.0] — 2026-05-26
+
+### Breaking Changes
+
+- **PostgreSQL migration** — database engine switched from SQLite to PostgreSQL. Requires running `deploy-postgres.sh`, data migration, and `DATABASE_URL` env var. SQLite is no longer supported.
+- **Multi-BU tenancy** — data is now scoped per business unit with per-user team assignments. Replaces the previous binary scope toggle.
+- **Raw Jira status display** — removed Open/In Progress/Closed status mapping; shows the actual Jira status field everywhere.
+
+### Features
+
+- **Jira integration overhaul**
+  - Flexible Jira ticket creation — CVE/Vendor fields optional, source context tracking
+  - Multi-item Jira ticket creation from Ivanti Queue (consolidation modal)
+  - Issue type dropdown and Save to Dashboard from Jira lookup
+  - Success toast after consolidated ticket creation
+  - Improved Jira lookup error messages
+- **CCP Metrics page** — multi-vertical VCL upload and cross-org compliance reporting
+  - Metric-first hierarchy restructure with Jira cross-project sync
+  - Per-metric forecast burndown chart
+  - Aggregated burndown forecast on overview page
+  - Sub-team drill-down with intermediate view and per-team breakdowns
+  - Non-Compliant stat clickable with metric breakdown buttons
+  - Compliant/total counts on metric summary cards
+  - Per-metric remediation plans
+  - VCL metric calculations guide
+- **Exports page** — Jira Tickets, CCP Metrics, and Remediation Status export cards
+- **VCL compliance reporting** — exec report page, device metadata fields, bulk upload
+- **Data management panel** — delete vertical, rollback upload, and reset all
+- **In-app notification system** — replaces Webex bot integration with native notifications
+- **Remediation plan and resolution date history tracking**
+- **FP submissions cleanup** — auto-clear approved, dismiss rejected, collapsible section
+- **Re-queue findings** from rejected FP submissions
+- **DECOM workflow type** — auto-note/hide on decom, show CVEs on CARD queue items
+- **Interactive configuration wizard** for deployment setup
+- **Unified setup script** (`configure.js`) merging deploy + config wizard
+- **Per-BU trend lines** in Ivanti counts history chart
+- **Multi-select BU picker** replacing binary scope toggle
+- **Configurable IVANTI_MANAGED_BUS** env var for multi-tenant drift classification
+- **Pipeline-to-issue traceability** via `after_script` comments in CI/CD
+- **CI/CD pipeline** with health endpoint and automated deploy stages
+- **Docker Compose** and `deploy-postgres.sh` for production cutover
+- **Systemd service scripts** for start/stop management
+- **VCL vertical metadata** — inline-editable team fields on compliance routes
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+- Fix Clear Completed button failing on queue items with Jira ticket links (FK violation)
+- Fix status badge background making text invisible
+- Fix calendar SLA dates not highlighting after Postgres migration
+- Fix document View link using localhost instead of relative URL
+- Validate library doc file types before sending to Ivanti API
+- Improve FP workflow error messages — include Ivanti API response body
+- Fix forecast chart bar order and snapshot month derivation
+- Fix forecast deduplication for multi-vertical metrics
+- Fix CCP Metrics page crash for non-Admin users
+- Fix CCP Metrics crash when donut chart has zero non-compliant devices
+- Fix duplicate failing metrics on same asset across compliance endpoints
+- Fix duplicate chart entries on compliance page when multiple verticals share a report_date
+- Fix requeue inserting Postgres array literal instead of JSON into `cves_json`
+- Fix todo queue crash on malformed `cves_json` data
+- Fix AEO compliance page not showing metric health cards on dev
+- Fix double-counting in VCL multi-vertical stats — use only `ALL:` rollup rows
+- Fix compliance stats to use Summary sheet data instead of item counts
+- Fix route mount order: `vcl-multi` must precede general compliance router
+- Fix requeue: fallback to `finding_ids_json` when queue items are deleted or absent
+- Sync FP submission `lifecycle_status` from Ivanti `currentState` on fetch
+- Fix History tab crash: coerce Ivanti note fields to strings before rendering
+- Fix archive bar chart: `fmtDate` now handles ISO datetime strings from PostgreSQL
+- Fix Ivanti panel bugs: Invalid Date, wrong workflow count, crash on archive click
+- Fix BU drift checker: derive `EXPECTED_BUS` from `IVANTI_BU_FILTER` env var
+- Fix null `bu_teams` in postgres migration, add retry logic to deploy script
+- Fix missing `created_by` column in `archer_tickets` table
+- Fix FP workflow counts donut scoped by BU
+- Fix `dotenv` loading in `db.js` so `DATABASE_URL` is available on import
+
+### Maintenance
+
+- Track `package-lock.json` files for deterministic CI installs
+- Remove unused imports to satisfy ESLint thresholds
+- CI pipeline fixes: dependency installation, lint thresholds, test isolation
+- Auto-run migrations in pipeline
+- Strengthen migration registration hook
+- Documentation updates for PostgreSQL migration, systemd scripts, and reference manual

+/**
+ * Bug Condition Exploration Property Test: Ivanti Queue Clear Completed FK Violation
+ *
+ * Spec: .kiro/specs/ivanti-queue-clear-completed-fix/ (bugfix)
+ *
+ * BUG CONDITION (from design.md):
+ *   isBugCondition(input) returns true when linkedItems.length > 0
+ *   — completed queue items have associated rows in jira_ticket_queue_items
+ *
+ * The current DELETE /completed handler issues a bare:
+ *   DELETE FROM ivanti_todo_queue WHERE user_id = $1 AND status = 'complete'
+ * which fails with a FK violation when child rows exist in jira_ticket_queue_items.
+ *
+ * THIS TEST ENCODES THE EXPECTED (FIXED) BEHAVIOR:
+ *   The handler should delete junction table references first, then delete
+ *   completed queue items, all within a transaction, and return success.
+ *
+ * ON UNFIXED CODE, THIS TEST WILL FAIL:
+ *   The current handler does not use transactions or clean up junction rows.
+ *   When pool.query receives the bare DELETE and junction rows exist, the mock
+ *   simulates the FK violation error that PostgreSQL would throw.
+ *   The handler catches the error and returns 500 instead of the expected 200.
+ *
+ * COUNTEREXAMPLE:
+ *   "DELETE FROM ivanti_todo_queue fails with FK violation when junction rows
+ *    reference completed items"
+ *
+ * **Validates: Requirements 1.1**

+# [Bug]: Jira sync fails for tickets in projects other than STEAM
+
+**Labels:** kind/bug, status/resolved
+
+## Description
+
+Syncing individual Jira tickets (or bulk "Sync All") fails with a 502 "Failed to fetch issue from Jira" error when the ticket belongs to a Jira project other than the configured `JIRA_PROJECT_KEY` (STEAM). For example, ticket `AA_ADTRAN-541` in the `AA_ADTRAN` project cannot be synced because the JQL query hardcodes `AND project = STEAM`, which excludes all cross-project tickets.
+
+This affects both single-ticket sync and the "Sync All" bulk operation.
+
+## Steps to Reproduce
+
+1. Go to the Jira Tickets page
+2. Add or have a ticket with a key from a non-STEAM project (e.g., `AA_ADTRAN-541`)
+3. Click the sync button on that ticket (or click "Sync All")
+4. See browser alert: "Failed to fetch issue from Jira."
+5. Console shows: `POST /api/jira-tickets/:id/sync` returns 502 (Bad Gateway)
+
+## Environment
+
+- Browser: Chrome (any)
+- Server: Node.js on 71.85.90.9:3001
+- Jira: Charter Jira Data Center (on-prem)
+
+## Root Cause
+
+`backend/helpers/jiraApi.js` — both `getIssue()` and `searchIssuesByKeys()` constructed JQL with `AND project = ${JIRA_PROJECT_KEY}` (resolves to `AND project = STEAM`). Since Jira issue keys are globally unique (the project prefix is part of the key), this filter is redundant for key-based lookups and breaks any ticket not in the STEAM project.
+
+## Fix
+
+Removed the `AND project = ${JIRA_PROJECT_KEY}` clause from:
+- `getIssue()` — now uses `key = "${issueKey}"` only
+- `searchIssuesByKeys()` — now uses `key in (...) AND updated >= -72h` only
+
+`JIRA_PROJECT_KEY` is still used for issue creation (where it belongs).
+
+## Relevant Log Output
+
+```
+POST http://71.85.90.9:3001/api/jira-tickets/:id/sync 502 (Bad Gateway)
+Response: { "error": "Failed to fetch issue from Jira.", "details": "Issue not found" }

+# VCL Executive Reporting — How It Works
+
+## Overview
+
+The VCL (Vulnerability Compliance Level) Report page generates an executive-level compliance summary from device-level data already tracked in the STEAM Security Dashboard. It aggregates individual device findings into team-level metrics, burndown projections, and compliance percentages — the same data leadership uses in the VCL deck for quarterly reporting.
+
+The report is not a separate data source. It reads from the same `compliance_items` table that the AEO Compliance page uses. The difference is the view: Compliance shows device-level detail, VCL shows team-level aggregation.
+
+---
+
+## Metrics Explained
+
+### Stats Bar
+
+| Metric | What It Means | What Feeds It |
+|---|---|---|
+| Total Devices | Count of unique hostnames across all compliance items (active + resolved) | Weekly compliance xlsx upload |
+| In-Scope | Same as Total Devices (all tracked devices are considered in-scope) | Weekly compliance xlsx upload |
+| Compliant | Devices with NO active findings (all their findings are resolved) | Compliance upload resolves findings when devices drop off the report |
+| Non-Compliant | Devices with at least one active finding | Compliance upload adds new findings; devices stay non-compliant until all findings resolve |
+| Remediations Required | Same as Non-Compliant (each non-compliant device needs remediation) | Same as Non-Compliant |
+| Current % | `(Compliant / In-Scope) * 100`, rounded to whole number | Computed from the counts above |
+| Target % | Organization-defined compliance target (default 95%) | Set via `VCL_TARGET_PCT` environment variable on the backend |
+
+### Status of Non-Compliant Assets (Donut Chart)
+
+| Segment | What It Means | What Feeds It |
+|---|---|---|
+| Blocked | Non-compliant devices with NO resolution date set — the team has not committed to a remediation timeline | Devices without a `resolution_date` value |
+| In-Progress | Non-compliant devices WITH a resolution date set — the team has a target fix date | Devices with a `resolution_date` value |
+
+**How to move devices from Blocked to In-Progress:** Set a resolution date on the device, either by clicking into it on the Compliance page and entering a date, or by using the Bulk Upload with a "Resolution Date" column.
+
+### Heavy Hitters Table
+
+| Column | What It Means | What Feeds It |
+|---|---|---|
+| Vertical / Team | The team responsible for the non-compliant devices | `team` field on compliance items (set during xlsx upload) |
+| Non-Compliant | Count of unique hostnames with active findings for that team | Computed from compliance_items |
+| Compliance Date | The team's stated target for full remediation (e.g., "Q3 2026") | Manually entered on this page (click to edit) |
+| Notes | Team-level summary of their remediation approach | Manually entered on this page (click to edit) |
+
+### Vertical Breakdown Table
+
+| Column | What It Means | What Feeds It |
+|---|---|---|
+| Vertical | Team name | `team` field on compliance items |
+| Compliance % | `(Compliant devices in team / Total devices in team) * 100` | Computed from compliance_items |
+| Team | Same as Vertical | Same |
+| Non-Compliant | Count of non-compliant devices for that team | Computed from compliance_items |
+| Forecast Burndown (monthly columns) | How many devices are expected to be remediated each month | Grouped by the `resolution_date` month on individual devices |
+| Blockers | Non-compliant devices with NO resolution date (no committed timeline) | Count of devices where `resolution_date` is NULL |
+| RAs | Risk Acceptances — count of approved exceptions for that team | Manually entered on this page (click to edit) |
+| Notes | Team-level remediation narrative | Manually entered on this page (click to edit) |
+
+### Compliance Overview Trend Chart
+
+| Element | What It Means | What Feeds It |
+|---|---|---|
+| Green bars | Count of compliant devices for each month | Monthly snapshots (created automatically on each compliance upload) |
+| Solid teal line | Actual compliance percentage for each month | Monthly snapshots |
+| Dashed teal line | Forecasted compliance percentage (projected forward) | Linear regression on the last 3+ months of actual data |
+| Amber horizontal line | Target compliance threshold | `VCL_TARGET_PCT` environment variable |
+
+> The trend chart requires at least one compliance upload to create the first snapshot. After 3+ monthly uploads, the forecast line appears.
+
+---
+
+## What Feeds the Data
+
+### Automatic (from compliance uploads)
+
+These values update automatically when a new weekly compliance xlsx is uploaded:
+
+- Total Devices, In-Scope, Compliant, Non-Compliant counts
+- Current Compliance %
+- Per-team compliance percentages
+- Monthly trend snapshots (one snapshot per upload)
+- Devices moving between active/resolved status
+
+### Manual (entered by engineers or BIs)
+
+These values are entered by users and persist until changed:
+
+| Field | Where to Enter It | Scope |
+|---|---|---|
+| Resolution Date | Compliance page → click device → Resolution Date field | Per device |
+| Remediation Plan | Compliance page → click device → Remediation Plan field | Per device |
+| Compliance Date | VCL Report → Heavy Hitters table → click the cell | Per team |
+| Notes | VCL Report → Heavy Hitters or Vertical Breakdown → click the cell | Per team |
+| RAs (Risk Acceptances) | VCL Report → Vertical Breakdown → click the cell | Per team |
+
+### Bulk Upload
+
+For updating many devices at once (e.g., 1000 devices), use the **Bulk Upload** button on the VCL Report page:
+
+1. Prepare an xlsx file with columns: `Hostname`, `Resolution Date`, `Remediation Plan`, `Notes`
+2. Click Bulk Upload and select the file
+3. Review the diff preview (shows matched/unmatched/changed/invalid counts)
+4. Confirm to commit changes
+
+---
+
+## How Metrics Adjust Over Time
+
+### Weekly Compliance Upload Cycle
+
+Each weekly xlsx upload triggers these changes:
+
+1. **New findings** appear as active items → Non-Compliant count increases
+2. **Resolved findings** (devices no longer on the report) get marked resolved → Compliant count increases
+3. **A monthly snapshot** is created/updated in `compliance_snapshots` → feeds the trend chart
+4. **Stats bar** reflects the new totals immediately
+
+### As Teams Set Resolution Dates
+
+When resolution dates are added to devices:
+
+1. **Donut chart shifts** — devices move from "Blocked" (red) to "In-Progress" (amber)
+2. **Forecast burndown columns populate** — showing expected remediations per month per team
+3. **Blockers count decreases** — fewer devices without a committed timeline
+
+### As Devices Get Remediated
+
+When a device drops off the weekly compliance report (finding resolved):
+
+1. **Non-Compliant count decreases**
+2. **Compliant count increases**
+3. **Current % improves**
+4. **Team compliance % improves**
+5. **The device's resolution_date no longer contributes to forecast** (it's done)
+
+### Trend Chart Over Months
+
+After 3+ monthly compliance uploads:
+
+1. The trend chart shows actual compliance % per month (solid line)
+2. A linear regression projects the trend forward 3 months (dashed line)
+3. You can see whether the organization is on track to hit the target % (amber line)
+
+---
+
+## Summary: Data Flow
+
+```
+Weekly xlsx upload
+    → compliance_items (active/resolved findings per device)
+    → compliance_snapshots (monthly aggregate for trend chart)
+    → Stats bar, donut, heavy hitters, vertical breakdown auto-update
+
+Engineers set resolution_date on devices (manual or bulk upload)
+    → Donut shifts from Blocked to In-Progress
+    → Forecast burndown columns populate
+    → Blockers count decreases
+
+BIs edit team-level fields on VCL Report page
+    → Compliance Date, Notes, RAs saved per team
+    → Displayed in Heavy Hitters and Vertical Breakdown tables
+
+Devices remediated (drop off next weekly upload)

+# Postgres Migration Plan
+
+## Overview
+
+Migrate the STEAM Security Dashboard from SQLite (`cve_database.db`) to PostgreSQL. This eliminates the JSON blob performance bottleneck, enables per-BU closed finding counts, and supports the multi-tenancy feature properly.
+
+## Current State
+
+- **Database**: SQLite 3, single file `backend/cve_database.db` (13MB)
+- **Performance bottleneck**: `ivanti_findings_cache.findings_json` — a 2.6MB TEXT column holding all findings as serialized JSON, parsed on every API request
+- **Limitation**: No per-BU closed finding data (only a global count)
+- **Concurrency**: SQLite single-writer lock blocks reads during sync writes
+
+## Target State
+
+- **Database**: PostgreSQL 16 (Docker container on port 5433)
+- **Findings storage**: Individual rows in `ivanti_findings` table with indexed columns
+- **Closed findings**: Stored as rows with `state = 'closed'` and `bu_ownership` column
+- **Per-BU counts**: Simple `SELECT COUNT(*) WHERE state = ? AND bu_ownership LIKE ?`
+- **Concurrency**: Connection pool (10 connections), reads never blocked by writes
+
+## Infrastructure
+
+### Port Allocation
+
+| Port | Service | Status |
+|------|---------|--------|
+| 3000 | Frontend (production) | In use |
+| 3001 | Backend (production) | In use |
+| 3002 | Other project (Python) | In use — do not touch |
+| 3003 | Test backend (temporary, during migration dev) | Available |
+| 5000 | Other project (Python) | In use — do not touch |
+| 5432 | Other project (Postgres) | In use — do not touch |
+| 5433 | CVE Dashboard Postgres (Docker) | Available — ours |
+
+### Docker Setup
+
+```bash
+docker run -d --name steam-postgres \
+  --restart unless-stopped \
+  -e POSTGRES_DB=cve_dashboard \
+  -e POSTGRES_USER=steam \
+  -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=<generated-password> \
+  -p 5433:5432 \
+  -v steam-pgdata:/var/lib/postgresql/data \
+  postgres:16-alpine
+```
+
+### Connection String
+
+```
+postgresql://steam:<password>@localhost:5433/cve_dashboard
+```
+
+Added to `backend/.env` as `DATABASE_URL`.
+
+## Migration Strategy
+
+### Approach: Blue-Green on Same Box
+
+1. Production stays on SQLite (port 3001) throughout development
+2. New Postgres backend tested on port 3003
+3. Cutover: stop old backend, start new backend on port 3001
+4. Rollback: stop new backend, start old SQLite backend
+
+### Branch Strategy
+
+All work happens on `feature/multi-tenancy` branch (same branch as the multi-BU work). The Postgres migration is the infrastructure that makes multi-BU tenancy performant.
+
+## Schema Design
+
+### Key Changes from SQLite
+
+| SQLite | PostgreSQL |
+|--------|-----------|
+| `findings_json` TEXT blob (2.6MB) | `ivanti_findings` table — one row per finding |
+| Single `ivanti_counts_cache` row | Derived from `ivanti_findings` via queries |
+| `TEXT` for everything | Proper types: `INTEGER`, `NUMERIC`, `TIMESTAMPTZ`, `TEXT[]` |
+| No concurrent writes | Connection pool, MVCC |
+| File-based | Docker volume `steam-pgdata` |
+
+### New `ivanti_findings` Table
+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE ivanti_findings (
+    id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,              -- Ivanti finding ID
+    host_id INTEGER,
+    title TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
+    severity NUMERIC(4,2) NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
+    vrr_group TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
+    host_name TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
+    ip_address TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
+    dns TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
+    status TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
+    sla_status TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
+    due_date DATE,
+    last_found_on DATE,
+    bu_ownership TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
+    cves TEXT[] DEFAULT '{}',
+    workflow_id TEXT,
+    workflow_state TEXT,
+    workflow_type TEXT,
+    state TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT 'open' CHECK (state IN ('open', 'closed')),
+    note TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
+    override_host_name TEXT,
+    override_dns TEXT,
+    synced_at TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL DEFAULT NOW(),
+    created_at TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL DEFAULT NOW()
+);
+
+CREATE INDEX idx_findings_state ON ivanti_findings(state);
+CREATE INDEX idx_findings_bu ON ivanti_findings(bu_ownership);
+CREATE INDEX idx_findings_severity ON ivanti_findings(severity);
+CREATE INDEX idx_findings_state_bu ON ivanti_findings(state, bu_ownership);
+```
+
+### Per-BU Counts (No Separate Table Needed)
+
+```sql
+-- Open count for STEAM
+SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ivanti_findings WHERE state = 'open' AND bu_ownership ILIKE '%STEAM%';
+
+-- Closed count for STEAM
+SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ivanti_findings WHERE state = 'closed' AND bu_ownership ILIKE '%STEAM%';
+
+-- All BU counts in one query
+SELECT
+    bu_ownership,
+    state,
+    COUNT(*) as count
+FROM ivanti_findings
+GROUP BY bu_ownership, state;
+```
+
+## Data Migration Script
+
+A one-time script (`backend/scripts/migrate-to-postgres.js`) that:
+
+1. Opens the SQLite database (read-only)
+2. Connects to Postgres
+3. Creates all tables (idempotent — `IF NOT EXISTS`)
+4. Copies data table by table:
+   - `users` → `users` (direct copy + `bu_teams`)
+   - `sessions` → `sessions`
+   - `cves` → `cves`
+   - `documents` → `documents`
+   - `jira_tickets` → `jira_tickets`
+   - `archer_tickets` → `archer_tickets`
+   - `knowledge_base` → `knowledge_base`
+   - `audit_logs` → `audit_logs`
+   - `compliance_uploads` → `compliance_uploads`
+   - `compliance_items` → `compliance_items`
+   - `compliance_notes` → `compliance_notes`
+   - `ivanti_findings_cache.findings_json` → individual rows in `ivanti_findings` (state='open')
+   - `ivanti_finding_notes` → merged into `ivanti_findings.note`
+   - `ivanti_finding_overrides` → merged into `ivanti_findings.override_*`
+   - `ivanti_counts_history` → `ivanti_counts_history`
+   - `ivanti_finding_archives` → `ivanti_finding_archives`
+   - `ivanti_archive_transitions` → `ivanti_archive_transitions`
+   - `ivanti_sync_anomaly_log` → `ivanti_sync_anomaly_log`
+   - `ivanti_finding_bu_history` → `ivanti_finding_bu_history`
+   - `atlas_action_plans_cache` → `atlas_action_plans_cache`
+   - `ivanti_fp_submissions` → `ivanti_fp_submissions`
+   - `ivanti_fp_submission_history` → `ivanti_fp_submission_history`
+   - `ivanti_todo_queue` → `ivanti_todo_queue`
+5. Verifies row counts match
+6. Prints summary
+
+## Code Changes
+
+### Backend
+
+1. **New dependency**: `pg` (node-postgres) replaces `sqlite3`
+2. **Connection pool**: `backend/db.js` — creates and exports a `Pool` instance
+3. **Query pattern change**:
+   ```js
+   // Before (SQLite callback):
+   db.get('SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?', [id], (err, row) => { ... });
+
+   // After (Postgres async):
+   const { rows } = await pool.query('SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = $1', [id]);
+   const row = rows[0];
+   ```
+4. **Placeholder syntax**: `?` → `$1, $2, $3...`
+5. **Findings sync**: Write individual rows via `INSERT ... ON CONFLICT (id) DO UPDATE`
+6. **Closed findings sync**: Same pattern — upsert with `state = 'closed'`
+7. **Counts**: Derived queries instead of a cache table
+
+### Frontend
+
+No changes needed — the API contract stays the same. The frontend already does client-side filtering.
+
+## Cutover Procedure
+
+```bash
+# 1. Final sync on production (SQLite) to get latest data
+curl -X POST http://localhost:3001/api/ivanti/findings/sync
+
+# 2. Run migration script (copies SQLite → Postgres)
+node backend/scripts/migrate-to-postgres.js
+
+# 3. Stop production backend
+systemctl stop cve-backend  # or kill the process
+
+# 4. Update .env to use Postgres
+# DATABASE_URL=postgresql://steam:<pass>@localhost:5433/cve_dashboard
+# DB_TYPE=postgres
+
+# 5. Start new backend on same port
+systemctl start cve-backend  # now uses Postgres
+
+# 6. Verify
+curl http://localhost:3001/api/auth/me  # should work
+```
+
+### Rollback (if needed)
+
+```bash
+# 1. Stop new backend
+systemctl stop cve-backend
+
+# 2. Revert .env
+# DB_TYPE=sqlite  (or remove DATABASE_URL)
+
+# 3. Start old backend
+systemctl start cve-backend
+```
+
+## Timeline Estimate
+
+| Phase | Effort | Description |
+|-------|--------|-------------|
+| Docker setup | 5 min | One command |
+| Schema creation | 1 hour | SQL DDL for all tables |
+| DB abstraction layer | 2-3 hours | `backend/db.js` pool + query helpers |
+| Route migration | 4-6 hours | Update all routes from sqlite3 callbacks to pg async |
+| Findings redesign | 2-3 hours | New sync logic writing individual rows |
+| Closed findings | 1-2 hours | Store closed findings, per-BU count queries |
+| Data migration script | 1-2 hours | SQLite → Postgres copy |
+| Testing | 2-3 hours | Verify all endpoints, sync, UI |
+| Cutover | 30 min | Stop/start + verify |
+| **Total** | **~15-20 hours** | |
+
+## Risks and Mitigations
+
+| Risk | Mitigation |
+|------|-----------|
+| Docker container crashes | `--restart unless-stopped` flag |
+| Data loss during cutover | SQLite file preserved as backup forever |
+| Postgres disk fills up | Docker volume on main disk; monitor with `df` |
+| Connection pool exhaustion | Pool max = 10, with queue; log warnings at 8 |
+| Migration script bugs | Run against dev DB first; verify row counts |
+
+## Post-Migration Benefits
+
+- **Instant BU filtering**: `WHERE bu_ownership ILIKE '%STEAM%'` on indexed column
+- **Per-BU closed counts**: No more "N/A" — real numbers per team
+- **No JSON parsing**: Findings are rows, not a blob
+- **Concurrent access**: Multiple users can read while sync writes
+- **Future-proof**: Easy to add full-text search, materialized views, partitioning
+
+## Docker Container Setup
+
+Run this once to create the Postgres container:
+
+```bash
+docker run -d --name steam-postgres \
+  --restart unless-stopped \
+  -e POSTGRES_DB=cve_dashboard \
+  -e POSTGRES_USER=steam \
+  -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=sV4xmC9xAUCFop0ypxMVS056QgPqGrX \
+  -p 5433:5432 \
+  -v steam-pgdata:/var/lib/postgresql/data \
+  postgres:16-alpine
+```
+
+Verify it's running:
+```bash
+docker ps | grep steam-postgres
+psql -h localhost -p 5433 -U steam -d cve_dashboard -c "SELECT 1;"
+```
+
+Management commands:
+```bash
+docker stop steam-postgres     # Stop
+docker start steam-postgres    # Start
+docker logs steam-postgres     # View logs
+docker exec -it steam-postgres psql -U steam -d cve_dashboard  # Shell access
+```

+# VCL Metric Calculations — Database Reference
+
+## Overview
+
+This document describes how every percentage, total, and forecast number on the VCL Report and CCP Metrics pages is computed from the underlying database. It is the single reference for verifying that what you see on the page matches what is in the data.
+
+Each section answers four questions:
+
+- **What it shows** — the field name on screen and the data path
+- **What feeds it** — the table(s) and columns the value is computed from
+- **How it is calculated** — the exact SQL or formula, plus any rounding rules
+- **Why it can drift** — known sources of inaccuracy and how the dashboard guards against them

+
+## Data Sources
+
+The VCL pages read from four tables. Knowing what each one stores is the prerequisite for understanding the calculations.
+
+### compliance_items
+
+One row per `(hostname, metric_id, vertical)` combination per upload. **Only non-compliant findings are stored here.** Compliant devices never appear in this table — they are inferred from the Summary sheet's totals minus what is in `compliance_items`.
+
+| Column | Type | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| `hostname` | TEXT | Device hostname |
+| `metric_id` | TEXT | Compliance metric identifier (e.g., `2.3.5`, `7.1.1`) |
+| `team` | TEXT | Sub-team responsible (`STEAM`, `ACCESS-ENG`, etc.) |
+| `vertical` | TEXT | Vertical code (`NTS_AEO`, `SDIT_CISO`, `TSI`); `NULL` for legacy AEO uploads |
+| `status` | TEXT | `'active'` if currently failing, `'resolved'` once the device drops off the next upload |
+| `resolution_date` | DATE | Target remediation date (manual entry) |
+| `seen_count` | INTEGER | Number of consecutive uploads this finding has appeared on |
+| `first_seen_upload_id` / `upload_id` / `resolved_upload_id` | INTEGER | Upload references for first appearance, latest, and resolution |
+
+> A device is "compliant" when **no** active row exists for it in this table.
+
+### compliance_uploads
+
+One row per uploaded xlsx. A multi-vertical upload day produces multiple rows that share the same `report_date`.
+
+| Column | Type | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| `report_date` | TEXT | The reporting period the file covers (`YYYY-MM-DD`) |
+| `vertical` | TEXT | Same vertical code as `compliance_items.vertical`; `NULL` for legacy AEO |
+| `new_count` / `recurring_count` / `resolved_count` | INTEGER | Per-upload deltas (vertical-scoped) |
+| `summary_json` | TEXT | The raw parsed Summary sheet — used as a fallback by `/summary` |
+
+### compliance_snapshots
+
+Monthly aggregated snapshot keyed by `(snapshot_month, vertical)`. The trend chart reads exclusively from here. Snapshots are written automatically inside the upload commit transaction.
+
+| Column | Type | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| `snapshot_month` | TEXT | `YYYY-MM` |
+| `vertical` | TEXT | Vertical code or team name (legacy) |
+| `total_devices` / `compliant` / `non_compliant` | INTEGER | Counts at month end |
+| `compliance_pct` | NUMERIC(5,2) | Pre-computed for that month |
+
+> The `(snapshot_month, vertical)` pair is `UNIQUE`. Re-uploading inside the same calendar month overwrites the row via `ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE`.
+
+### vcl_multi_vertical_summary
+
+One row per `(metric_id, team)` pair per upload, populated from the Summary sheet of a multi-vertical xlsx. This is the **source of truth for compliant counts** — `compliance_items` only has non-compliant rows.
+
+| Column | Type | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| `upload_id` | INTEGER | FK → `compliance_uploads` |
+| `vertical` | TEXT | Vertical code |
+| `metric_id` | TEXT | Metric identifier |
+| `team` | TEXT | Either an `ALL: <vertical>` rollup row or a sub-team row (`STEAM`, `ACCESS-ENG`) |
+| `non_compliant` / `compliant` / `total` | INTEGER | From the Summary sheet |
+| `compliance_pct` | NUMERIC(5,2) | From the Summary sheet (decimal — `0.95` = 95%) |
+| `target` | NUMERIC(5,2) | Per-metric target from the spreadsheet |
+
+> **Critical aggregation rule:** rows where `team LIKE 'ALL:%'` are vertical-level rollups that already include their sub-teams. **Aggregating both rollup and sub-team rows would double-count.** Every cross-vertical query in this codebase filters with `WHERE team LIKE 'ALL:%'`.
+
+---
+
+## VCL Report Page (Single-Vertical / Legacy AEO)
+
+This is the original VCL Report at `/api/compliance/vcl/...`. It aggregates across whatever data exists in `compliance_items` regardless of vertical, and is primarily used for the AEO single-team view.
+
+Source: `backend/routes/compliance.js` (`router.get('/vcl/stats', ...)` and `router.get('/vcl/trend', ...)`)
+
+### Stats Bar
+
+**What it shows:** Total Devices, In-Scope, Compliant, Non-Compliant, Remediations Required, Current %, Target %.
+
+**What feeds it:** `compliance_items` — every distinct hostname.
+
+**How it is calculated:**
+
+```sql
+SELECT
+    COUNT(DISTINCT hostname) AS total_devices,
+    COUNT(DISTINCT hostname) AS in_scope,
+    COUNT(DISTINCT CASE
+        WHEN hostname NOT IN (SELECT DISTINCT hostname FROM compliance_items WHERE status = 'active')
+        THEN hostname END) AS compliant,
+    COUNT(DISTINCT CASE
+        WHEN hostname IN (SELECT DISTINCT hostname FROM compliance_items WHERE status = 'active')
+        THEN hostname END) AS non_compliant
+FROM compliance_items;
+```
+
+Then in JavaScript:
+
+```javascript
+compliance_pct = in_scope > 0 ? Math.round((compliant / in_scope) * 100) : 0
+remediations_required = non_compliant
+target_pct = process.env.VCL_TARGET_PCT || 95
+```
+
+**Field-by-field:**
+
+| Field | Definition |
+|---|---|
+| Total Devices | Count of unique hostnames that have ever appeared in any upload |
+| In-Scope | Same as Total Devices — every tracked device is in-scope by definition |
+| Compliant | Hostnames with **zero** rows where `status = 'active'` |
+| Non-Compliant | Hostnames with **at least one** row where `status = 'active'` |
+| Remediations Required | Equals Non-Compliant — every non-compliant device needs at least one fix |
+| Current % | `ROUND((Compliant / In-Scope) * 100)` — whole-number percent |
+| Target % | `VCL_TARGET_PCT` env var on the backend, default 95 |
+
+**Why it can drift:**
+
+- If a hostname has both an `active` row in one vertical and a `resolved` row in another, the `IN`/`NOT IN` subqueries above already classify correctly — `active` wins because the `IN` subquery includes any active row.
+- Compliant devices are inferred. If `compliance_items` is missing rows that the Summary sheet reported (e.g., truncated upload), the count silently undercounts.
+
+### Donut Chart — Status of Non-Compliant Assets
+
+**What it shows:** Two slices — Blocked (red) and In-Progress (amber) — with counts and percentages.
+
+**What feeds it:** `compliance_items` rows where `status = 'active'`, deduplicated to one row per hostname using `MAX(resolution_date)`.
+
+**How it is calculated:**
+
+```sql
+SELECT hostname, MAX(resolution_date) AS resolution_date
+FROM compliance_items
+WHERE status = 'active'
+GROUP BY hostname;
+```
+
+Then `categorizeNonCompliant()` partitions:
+
+```javascript
+blocked    = items.filter(i => i.resolution_date == null)
+in_progress = items.filter(i => i.resolution_date != null)
+blocked.pct     = Math.round((blocked.count    / total) * 100)
+in_progress.pct = Math.round((in_progress.count / total) * 100)
+```
+
+> A device with **any** resolution date set on **any** of its active findings is considered In-Progress. Only when every active finding lacks a date is the device counted as Blocked.
+
+**Why it can drift:**
+
+- The `MAX(resolution_date)` clause means a device with one dated finding and one undated finding is classified as In-Progress, not Blocked. This is intentional — once one team commits to a date, the device is no longer fully blocked.
+- Rounding to whole numbers means `blocked.pct + in_progress.pct` may total 99 or 101 in edge cases. The chart still displays the correct underlying counts.
+
+### Heavy Hitters Table
+
+**What it shows:** One row per team, sorted by non-compliant device count descending. Columns: Vertical/Team, Non-Compliant, Compliance Date, Notes.
+
+**What feeds it:** `compliance_items` deduplicated to one team per hostname, plus `vcl_vertical_metadata` for manual fields (Notes, Compliance Date, RAs).
+
+**How it is calculated:**
+
+```sql
+WITH device_team AS (
+    SELECT DISTINCT ON (hostname)
+           hostname,
+           COALESCE(team, 'Unknown') AS team,
+           resolution_date
+    FROM compliance_items
+    WHERE status = 'active'
+    ORDER BY hostname, seen_count DESC, upload_id DESC
+)
+SELECT team,
+       COUNT(DISTINCT hostname)::int AS non_compliant,
+       MAX(resolution_date) AS compliance_date
+FROM device_team
+GROUP BY team
+ORDER BY COUNT(DISTINCT hostname) DESC;
+```
+
+The CTE picks one representative row per hostname using the `(seen_count DESC, upload_id DESC)` rule — the longest-running, most recently seen team assignment wins. This guarantees `SUM(heavy_hitters[*].non_compliant) == stats.non_compliant`.
+
+**Why it can drift:**
+
+- Before the fix tracked under spec `compliance-duplicate-failing-metrics`, a hostname that appeared with different `team` values across verticals was double-counted. The CTE above is the fix — confirmed by Property 3 of that spec.
+- `compliance_date` here is the latest resolution date across the team's devices, used as a default. The team's manually entered Compliance Date in `vcl_vertical_metadata` overrides it when present.
+
+### Vertical Breakdown Table
+
+**What it shows:** Same teams as Heavy Hitters, plus per-team Compliance %, Forecast Burndown columns, Blockers count, RAs, Notes.
+
+**What feeds it:**
+- Per-team total devices: same `device_team` CTE as Heavy Hitters but without the `status = 'active'` filter.
+- Forecast: `compliance_items` with non-null `resolution_date`.
+- Manual fields: `vcl_vertical_metadata`.
+
+**How it is calculated (per team):**
+
+```sql
+-- Total devices for the team
+WITH device_team AS (
+    SELECT DISTINCT ON (hostname)
+           hostname,
+           COALESCE(team, 'Unknown') AS team
+    FROM compliance_items
+    ORDER BY hostname, seen_count DESC, upload_id DESC
+)
+SELECT COUNT(*)::int AS total FROM device_team WHERE team = $1;
+
+-- Forecast resolution dates for the team
+SELECT DISTINCT ON (hostname, metric_id) resolution_date
+FROM compliance_items
+WHERE status = 'active'
+  AND COALESCE(team, 'Unknown') = $1
+  AND resolution_date IS NOT NULL
+ORDER BY hostname, metric_id, seen_count DESC, upload_id DESC;
+```
+
+In JavaScript:
+
+```javascript
+team_compliant     = team_total - team_non_compliant
+compliance_pct     = team_total > 0 ? Math.round((team_compliant / team_total) * 100) : 0
+forecast_burndown  = computeForecastBurndown(forecastItems)   // YYYY-MM → count
+blockers           = Math.max(team_non_compliant - forecastItems.length, 0)
+```
+
+`computeForecastBurndown` buckets each device's resolution date into a `YYYY-MM` key. The result is `{ "2026-06": 12, "2026-07": 8, ... }` — the count of devices expected to resolve each month.
+
+**Why it can drift:**
+
+- The `DISTINCT ON (hostname, metric_id)` in the forecast query was added by the duplicate-failing-metrics fix. Without it, a device failing the same metric in two verticals would have its resolution date counted twice and `blockers` would go negative (the `Math.max` clamp protects the UI but masks the inconsistency).
+- The team total uses **all rows** in `compliance_items` (active and resolved), so a team's `total` here is "every device that has ever been part of this team," not just current devices.
+
+### Compliance Trend Chart
+
+**What it shows:** Bar chart of compliant device count per month, plus a solid line (actual %) and a dashed line (forecasted %) on a secondary axis. A horizontal reference line marks the target.
+
+**What feeds it:** `compliance_snapshots`, aggregated across all verticals.
+
+**How it is calculated:**
+
+```sql
+SELECT snapshot_month,
+       SUM(compliant)::int AS compliant_count,
+       CASE WHEN SUM(total_devices) > 0
+            THEN ROUND((SUM(compliant)::numeric / SUM(total_devices)::numeric) * 100, 1)
+            ELSE 0 END AS compliance_pct
+FROM compliance_snapshots
+GROUP BY snapshot_month
+ORDER BY snapshot_month ASC;
+```
+
+The forecast logic is described in [Linear Regression Forecast](#linear-regression-forecast-trend). Snapshots are persisted in `persistUpload()` using the upload's `report_date` month so historical uploads land in the correct bucket. See [Cross-Cutting Correctness Rules](#cross-cutting-correctness-rules) for the snapshot upsert behavior.
+
+**Why it can drift:**
+
+- Snapshots are keyed `(snapshot_month, vertical)`, so re-uploading the same month overwrites — only the latest upload's totals are preserved per month.
+- Pre-fix snapshots from before the duplicate-failing-metrics correction may have `compliant + non_compliant > total_devices` if a hostname had both active and resolved rows across verticals. The fix uses `MIN(status)` inside a CTE so each hostname is classified once. Older snapshots written before the fix should be regenerated by re-running the affected uploads.
+

+
+## CCP Metrics Page (Multi-Vertical)
+
+The CCP Metrics page is the executive cross-vertical view. It uses the multi-vertical Summary sheet data as the source of truth for totals (since `compliance_items` only contains non-compliant devices).
+
+Source: `backend/routes/vclMultiVertical.js`. Mounted at `/api/compliance/vcl-multi/...`.
+
+### Aggregated Stats Bar
+
+**What it shows:** Total Devices, Compliant, Non-Compliant, Current %, Target % across **every** vertical's latest upload.
+
+**What feeds it:** `vcl_multi_vertical_summary` filtered to ALL: rollup rows of the latest upload per vertical.
+
+**How it is calculated:**
+
+```sql
+-- 1. Find the latest upload ID per vertical
+SELECT DISTINCT ON (vertical) id, vertical
+FROM compliance_uploads
+WHERE vertical IS NOT NULL
+ORDER BY vertical, id DESC;
+
+-- 2. Sum totals from rollup rows only (avoids double-counting sub-teams)
+SELECT vertical,
+       SUM(total)::int AS total_devices,
+       SUM(compliant)::int AS compliant,
+       SUM(non_compliant)::int AS non_compliant
+FROM vcl_multi_vertical_summary
+WHERE upload_id = ANY($1) AND team LIKE 'ALL:%'
+GROUP BY vertical;
+```
+
+In JavaScript:
+
+```javascript
+agg_total         = SUM(vertical.total_devices for each vertical)
+agg_compliant     = SUM(vertical.compliant     for each vertical)
+agg_non_compliant = SUM(vertical.non_compliant for each vertical)
+compliance_pct    = agg_total > 0 ? Math.round((agg_compliant / agg_total) * 100) : 0
+```
+
+> **The `team LIKE 'ALL:%'` filter is the most important rule on this page.** Each Summary sheet contains one rollup row per metric (`ALL: NTS-AEO`) plus one row per sub-team (`STEAM`, `ACCESS-ENG`). Summing both rollup and sub-team rows would double the totals. Every cross-vertical query enforces this filter.
+
+**Why it can drift:**
+
+- If a Summary sheet ever omits the `ALL:` rollup row for a metric, that metric's totals will be missing from the aggregate. The Python parser does not fabricate rollup rows, so this is a function of what the upstream xlsx contains.
+- Verticals with no rows in `vcl_multi_vertical_summary` (e.g., the legacy AEO data) do not contribute. Their data is visible only on the original VCL Report, not the CCP Metrics page.
+
+### Donut — Blocked vs In-Progress
+
+**What it shows:** Same as the legacy donut, scoped to multi-vertical data.
+
+**What feeds it:** `compliance_items` where `vertical IS NOT NULL`, deduplicated by hostname.
+
+**How it is calculated:** Identical formula to the [legacy donut](#donut-chart--status-of-non-compliant-assets), but the filter is `WHERE vertical IS NOT NULL AND status = 'active'`.
+
+```sql
+SELECT hostname, MAX(resolution_date) AS resolution_date
+FROM compliance_items
+WHERE vertical IS NOT NULL AND status = 'active'
+GROUP BY hostname;
+```
+
+### Trend Chart
+
+**What it shows:** Cross-vertical monthly trend of compliant device count and compliance percentage with a 3-month forecast.
+
+**What feeds it:** `compliance_snapshots` where `vertical IS NOT NULL AND vertical != ''`.
+
+**How it is calculated:**
+
+```sql
+SELECT snapshot_month,
+       SUM(total_devices)::int AS total_devices,
+       SUM(compliant)::int     AS compliant,
+       SUM(non_compliant)::int AS non_compliant
+FROM compliance_snapshots
+WHERE vertical IS NOT NULL AND vertical != ''
+GROUP BY snapshot_month
+ORDER BY snapshot_month ASC;
+```
+
+Each row's `compliance_pct` is `ROUND((compliant / total_devices) * 100, 1)` — one decimal place. The forecast then uses the [Linear Regression Forecast](#linear-regression-forecast-trend) logic.
+
+### Aggregated Burndown Forecast
+
+**What it shows:** A bar chart of expected device remediations per month across all verticals, plus stat cards for In-Progress, Blockers, and Projected Clear date.
+
+**What feeds it:** `compliance_items` where `vertical IS NOT NULL AND status = 'active'`.
+
+**How it is calculated:**
+
+```sql
+SELECT hostname, resolution_date, vertical
+FROM compliance_items
+WHERE vertical IS NOT NULL AND status = 'active';
+```
+
+Then the rows pass through two pure helpers:
+
+1. `deduplicateByHostname(rows)` — collapses each hostname to one entry, keeping the **earliest non-null** `resolution_date`. A device that fails three metrics with different planned dates is bucketed by its earliest commitment.
+
+2. `computeAggregatedBurndown(devices)` — computes:
+
+   ```javascript
+   total       = devices.length
+   blockers    = devices.filter(d => d.resolution_date == null).length
+   with_dates  = total - blockers
+   monthly[m]  = count of devices whose resolution_date falls in month m   // YYYY-MM
+   projection[m] = { remediated: monthly[m], remaining: running_remainder }
+   projected_clear_date = (blockers === 0 && monthly is non-empty)
+       ? last_month_in_monthly_keys
+       : null
+   ```
+
+> Projected Clear is **only computed when `blockers === 0`**. Any device without a resolution date prevents the projection from showing — the dashboard is honest about the fact that an open-ended commitment cannot be projected.
+
+**Why it can drift:**
+
+- Devices with multiple `compliance_items` rows (one per failing metric) are deduplicated by hostname before bucketing. Without deduplication, a device with three failing metrics and one resolution date would count three times.
+- A resolution date in the **past** still buckets into its actual month — `computeAggregatedBurndown` does not roll past-due dates forward. The per-metric chart does roll them forward; see [Per-Metric Forecast](#per-metric-forecast-historical--projected) for that distinction.
+
+### Metric Table (Cross-Vertical)
+
+**What it shows:** One row per metric, with non-compliant, compliant, total, compliance %, and target % aggregated across **every** vertical's latest upload. Sorted by non-compliant descending.
+
+**What feeds it:** `vcl_multi_vertical_summary` rollup rows from the latest upload per vertical.
+
+**How it is calculated:**
+
+```sql
+SELECT metric_id,
+       MAX(metric_desc) AS metric_desc,
+       MAX(category)    AS category,
+       SUM(non_compliant)::int   AS non_compliant,
+       SUM(compliant)::int       AS compliant,
+       SUM(total)::int           AS total,
+       ROUND(AVG(target::numeric), 4) AS target
+FROM vcl_multi_vertical_summary
+WHERE upload_id = ANY($1) AND team LIKE 'ALL:%'
+GROUP BY metric_id
+ORDER BY non_compliant DESC;
+```
+
+Then for each row:
+
+```javascript
+compliance_pct = total > 0 ? compliant / total : 0   // stored as decimal
+```
+
+The frontend renders the percentage with one decimal: `(compliance_pct * 100).toFixed(1) + '%'`.
+
+> **`target` is the arithmetic mean across verticals**, not the worst or best. If two verticals report a target of 0.90 and 0.95 for the same metric, the cross-vertical target is 0.925. This is a deliberate choice — the page shows a fleet-wide composite target, not the strictest individual one.
+
+**Why it can drift:**
+
+- `MAX(metric_desc)` and `MAX(category)` rely on every Summary sheet using the same description for the same `metric_id`. If two verticals describe the same metric differently, the alphabetically-last description wins.
+
+### Metric Detail View — Per-Vertical Breakdown
+
+**What it shows:** For a selected metric, one row per vertical with that metric's numbers, plus a `sub_teams` array per vertical.
+
+**What feeds it:** `vcl_multi_vertical_summary` for the selected metric, latest upload per vertical, both rollup and sub-team rows.
+
+**How it is calculated:**
+
+```sql
+SELECT vertical, metric_desc, category, team,
+       non_compliant, compliant, total, compliance_pct, target
+FROM vcl_multi_vertical_summary
+WHERE upload_id = ANY($1) AND metric_id = $2
+ORDER BY vertical, team;
+```
+
+The handler then separates rollup rows (`team LIKE 'ALL:%'`) from sub-team rows in JavaScript:
+
+- The rollup row for each vertical becomes the primary entry.
+- Each sub-team row is attached to its vertical's `sub_teams` array.
+- Rows where `team = '(Other)'` are skipped — they are catch-all rows already counted in the rollup.
+
+`compliance_pct` is read directly from the table (already a decimal — `0.95` = 95%).
+
+**Why it can drift:**
+
+- A sub-team named `(Other)` is used by the spreadsheet for unassignable devices — it is intentionally excluded from the sub-team breakdown to avoid duplication.
+- The vertical-level `compliance_pct` is what was in the Summary sheet at upload time. It is not recomputed from `compliant / total`. If those numbers ever disagree (Summary rounded differently), the table shows the spreadsheet's number.
+
+### Per-Metric Forecast Burndown Chart
+
+**What it shows:** A combined chart with up to 4 historical monthly snapshots (left of the divider) and up to 12 forecast months (right of the divider). Each data point shows total assets, non-compliant count, and compliance %.
+
+**What feeds it:** Three sources combined:
+1. `compliance_snapshots` for historical totals (3 months back).
+2. `vcl_multi_vertical_summary` for the metric's `total` (used as `total_assets`).
+3. `compliance_items` for current devices and their resolution dates.
+
+**How it is calculated:**
+
+```sql
+-- Active devices for this metric across every vertical it spans
+SELECT hostname, resolution_date, vertical
+FROM compliance_items
+WHERE metric_id = $1 AND status = 'active' AND vertical IS NOT NULL;
+
+-- Historical snapshots for those verticals (3 months back)
+SELECT snapshot_month AS month,
+       SUM(total_devices)::int AS total_assets,
+       SUM(non_compliant)::int AS non_compliant,
+       ROUND((SUM(compliant)::numeric / NULLIF(SUM(total_devices), 0)) * 100, 1) AS compliance_pct
+FROM compliance_snapshots
+WHERE vertical = ANY($1) AND snapshot_month >= $2 AND snapshot_month < $3
+GROUP BY snapshot_month
+ORDER BY snapshot_month ASC;
+
+-- The metric's per-metric total assets (from latest summary)
+SELECT SUM(total)::int AS total
+FROM vcl_multi_vertical_summary
+WHERE metric_id = $1 AND team LIKE 'ALL:%'
+  AND upload_id IN (
+    SELECT id FROM compliance_uploads
+    WHERE vertical IS NOT NULL
+    ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 20
+  );
+```
+
+#### Historical Computation — Ratio Method
+
+The `compliance_snapshots` table stores **vertical-level** totals, not per-metric. To estimate this metric's historical non-compliant count for a past month, the handler uses a ratio:
+
+```javascript
+metric_nc_for_month = ROUND(
+    snapshot.non_compliant_for_vertical * (current_metric_nc / current_vertical_total_nc)
+)
+```
+
+In words: "the metric's share of the vertical's current non-compliant load is assumed constant — apply that ratio to historical snapshot non-compliant counts."
+
+> The ratio method is an approximation. It assumes the metric's contribution to the vertical's non-compliance is steady over the last three months. If the metric load shifts dramatically month-to-month, the historical bars will not match the actual past.
+
+The current month is **always** computed from live data (not the ratio):
+
+```javascript
+current_month_nc = number of distinct active hostnames for this metric
+current_compliance_pct = ROUND((total_assets - current_month_nc) / total_assets * 1000) / 10   // 1 decimal
+```
+
+#### Forecast Computation — Resolution Date Bucketing
+
+Forward projections are handled by `computeMetricForecastBurndown`. The algorithm:
+
+1. Partition active devices into `blockers` (no resolution date) and `with_dates`.
+2. Bucket each dated device by its `resolution_date` month (`YYYY-MM`).
+3. **Past-due dates roll into the current month.** A device whose date is March when today is May counts as remediating in May, not March.
+4. Walk forward up to 12 months, decrementing `remaining_non_compliant` by each month's bucket.
+5. Stop early if `remaining_non_compliant <= blockers` — meaning every device with a date is projected to be done and only blockers remain.
+
+The compliance percentage at each forecast point is:
+
+```javascript
+compliance_pct = ROUND((total_assets - remaining_non_compliant) / total_assets * 1000) / 10
+```
+
+#### Correctness Properties of the Forecast
+
+These properties hold for any input (verified by property-based tests in `backend/__tests__/compliance-duplicate-chart-entries.property.test.js` and the forecast spec):
+
+1. **Partition invariant:** `blockers + with_dates == non_compliant`.
+2. **Compliance formula:** `compliance_pct == ROUND((total - nc) / total * 1000) / 10` (or 0 when total is 0).
+3. **Monotonic non-increasing:** each month's `non_compliant` is less than or equal to the previous month's.
+4. **Horizon bound:** at most 12 forecast points; terminates early when only blockers remain.
+5. **Past-due treated as current month:** dates in already-passed months are bucketed into the current month for projection purposes.
+
+**Why it can drift:**
+
+- The ratio method for historical data is an estimate. Verify by hand using the actual upload's Summary sheet for that month if precise historical numbers matter.
+- The fallback `totalAssets = metricNcCount` triggers when no Summary data exists for the metric. This produces a `compliance_pct` of 0 because every "asset" is non-compliant. This is correct for the data we have — the chart cannot show compliance percentages for metrics that have only been observed as failures.
+
+### Per-Vertical Detail and Burndown
+
+**What it shows:** Stats and burndown for a single vertical (e.g., NTS_AEO).
+
+**What feeds it:**
+- Stats: `vcl_multi_vertical_summary` for that vertical, latest upload, with sub-team breakouts.
+- Burndown: `compliance_items` for that vertical, deduplicated by hostname.
+
+**How it is calculated:**
+
+The vertical-level burndown deduplicates per hostname using the **first non-null** resolution date (any one is enough to mark the device In-Progress):
+
+```javascript
+// In the route handler, after fetching compliance_items for the vertical:
+const deviceMap = {};
+for (const row of rows) {
+    if (!deviceMap[row.hostname]) {
+        deviceMap[row.hostname] = { hostname: row.hostname, resolution_date: row.resolution_date };
+    } else if (row.resolution_date && !deviceMap[row.hostname].resolution_date) {
+        // Promote a null entry to In-Progress when any other row has a date
+        deviceMap[row.hostname].resolution_date = row.resolution_date;
+    }
+}
+const devices = Object.values(deviceMap);
+const burndown = computeVerticalBurndown(devices);
+```
+
+`computeVerticalBurndown` returns the same shape as `computeAggregatedBurndown` but scoped to one vertical.
+
+---
+
+## Forecast Algorithms
+
+The dashboard uses three different forecasting approaches depending on the data being projected.
+
+### Linear Regression Forecast (Trend)
+
+**Used by:** Trend chart on the VCL Report and CCP Metrics pages.
+
+**Inputs:** Monthly compliance percentages from `compliance_snapshots` (one decimal place).
+
+**Algorithm:** Least-squares linear regression on the time series.
+
+```javascript
+// X = month index (0, 1, 2, ...), Y = compliance_pct
+slope     = (n * SUM(X*Y) - SUM(X) * SUM(Y)) / (n * SUM(X^2) - SUM(X)^2)
+intercept = (SUM(Y) - slope * SUM(X)) / n
+```
+
+For each future month `i` (1, 2, 3 — three months out):
+
+```javascript
+forecast_pct = ROUND((slope * (n + i - 1) + intercept) * 10) / 10
+forecast_pct = Math.min(100, Math.max(0, forecast_pct))   // clamp to [0, 100]
+```
+
+**Activation:** Forecast appears only when **3 or more** historical months exist. With fewer points, the regression is unreliable, so the dashed line is omitted.
+
+**Why it works for compliance trends:** Compliance is bounded [0, 100] and changes slowly across months. A linear fit captures the directional trajectory ("we're trending up two points per month") accurately enough to inform planning, though it can over-predict near the boundaries (the clamp prevents impossible values).
+
+### Resolution-Date Burndown Forecast
+
+**Used by:** Aggregated burndown, per-vertical burndown, the deprecated team-level forecast in the legacy VCL Report.
+
+**Inputs:** Active non-compliant devices and their `resolution_date` values.
+
+**Algorithm:** Simple monthly bucketing — no math beyond grouping and counting.
+
+```javascript
+buckets = {}                                  // YYYY-MM → count
+for each device with a non-null resolution_date:
+    month = first 7 chars of resolution_date  // 'YYYY-MM-DD' → 'YYYY-MM'
+    buckets[month] += 1
+
+remaining = total_with_dates
+projection = {}
+for each month (sorted ascending):
+    remaining -= buckets[month]
+    projection[month] = { remediated: buckets[month], remaining }
+```
+
+**Projected Clear date:** the last month in `projection` **only if** `blockers === 0`. If any device lacks a date, no projection is shown — there is no honest way to forecast something with no commitment.
+
+**Why this is preferred over regression for burndown:** Resolution dates are explicit human commitments. Linear regression on past remediation rates would project an average pace that ignores what teams have actually committed to. The bucketing approach reports exactly what has been promised and nothing more.
+
+### Per-Metric Forecast (Historical + Projected)
+
+**Used by:** The CCP Metrics per-metric forecast burndown chart.
+
+**Inputs:** Historical snapshots (vertical-level) + current metric devices (per-metric) + the metric's `total_assets` from the Summary sheet.
+
+**Algorithm:** Two separate parts joined at the current month.
+
+**Historical part — Ratio Method:**
+
+```javascript
+// For each historical month from compliance_snapshots:
+metric_share        = current_metric_nc / current_vertical_total_nc
+month.non_compliant = ROUND(snapshot.non_compliant * metric_share)
+month.compliance_pct = ROUND((total_assets - month.non_compliant) / total_assets * 1000) / 10
+```
+
+> The ratio method assumes the metric's share of vertical non-compliance is stable. If a metric was recently introduced or recently fixed at scale, the historical bars will be off. Validate against the source Summary sheet for that month if you need precision.
+
+**Forecast part — Resolution-Date Bucketing:**
+
+Identical to [Resolution-Date Burndown Forecast](#resolution-date-burndown-forecast), with one extra rule: **past-due dates roll into the current month**. A device with `resolution_date = '2026-02-15'` when today is May is bucketed into May, not February. Empirically, past-due dates are commitments that slipped — projecting them as remediating "now" reflects reality (the team is overdue and has to act this month) better than leaving them stuck in the past.
+
+**Termination:** the loop exits as soon as `remaining_non_compliant <= blockers`. Once every dated device is projected to be done, continuing would just show flat blocker count.
+
+---
+
+## Cross-Cutting Correctness Rules
+
+These rules apply across every metric on both pages. Violations indicate a real bug — the dashboard's tests verify these properties hold.
+
+**Rule 1: Rollup-only aggregation across verticals.**
+Every cross-vertical query that touches `vcl_multi_vertical_summary` filters with `WHERE team LIKE 'ALL:%'`. Aggregating both rollup rows and sub-team rows would double-count. (Validated by the `ccp-metrics-view-restructure` spec, Property 1.)
+
+**Rule 2: Latest upload per vertical.**
+Cross-vertical queries select `DISTINCT ON (vertical)` from `compliance_uploads ORDER BY vertical, id DESC` to take only the most recent upload per vertical. Older uploads contribute to `compliance_snapshots` but not to current totals.
+
+**Rule 3: Snapshot deduplication.**
+`compliance_snapshots` is keyed `UNIQUE(snapshot_month, vertical)` and updated via `ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE`. Re-uploading the same month for a vertical overwrites the earlier snapshot. Snapshots are upserted using the upload's `report_date` month, not the current calendar month, so a backfilled upload for March lands in `2026-03` even if it is uploaded in May.
+
+**Rule 4: Status classification on duplicate hostnames.**
+When a hostname has rows in multiple verticals (one active, one resolved), the snapshot logic uses `MIN(status)` inside a CTE — `'active'` lexicographically wins over `'resolved'`, so the device is classified as non-compliant. This guarantees `compliant + non_compliant <= total_devices` for every snapshot row.
+
+**Rule 5: Per-(hostname, metric_id) deduplication.**
+Queries that bucket or count active findings use `DISTINCT ON (hostname, metric_id)` with the canonical `ORDER BY hostname, metric_id, seen_count DESC, upload_id DESC`. A device failing the same metric in two verticals contributes one entry, not two. (Validated by the `compliance-duplicate-failing-metrics` spec, Properties 1–5.)
+
+**Rule 6: Aggregation by `report_date`, not upload ID.**
+Trends, top-recurring, and category-trend queries `GROUP BY report_date` rather than `GROUP BY id`. A multi-vertical day produces multiple `compliance_uploads` rows sharing one `report_date`. (Validated by the `compliance-duplicate-chart-entries` spec, Properties 1–3.)
+
+**Rule 7: Decimal vs whole-number percentages.**
+Two conventions coexist:
+
+| Source | Format | Example |
+|---|---|---|
+| `vcl_multi_vertical_summary.compliance_pct` | Decimal | `0.95` |
+| `compliance_snapshots.compliance_pct` | Whole-number | `95.00` |
+| `/vcl/stats` response `stats.compliance_pct` | Whole-number integer | `95` |
+| `/vcl-multi/stats` response `stats.compliance_pct` | Whole-number integer | `95` |
+| `/vcl-multi/metrics` response `compliance_pct` | Decimal | `0.95` |
+
+The frontend handles both — multiply decimals by 100 and call `toFixed(1)` for the metric-table view, or display the whole number directly for stats bars. Mismatching the formats is a common source of "values look 100x off" bugs.
+
+---
+
+## Verifying Values by Hand
+
+When you suspect a number is wrong, work through this checklist before opening a bug.
+
+**1. Check whether the value comes from `compliance_items` or `vcl_multi_vertical_summary`.**
+
+- `compliance_items` only has non-compliant rows. If a "compliant count" is wrong, the bug is in the Summary sheet path, not item counting.
+- `vcl_multi_vertical_summary` is the source of truth for both compliant and non-compliant totals on the CCP Metrics page.
+
+**2. Check the upload date.**
+
+- Cross-vertical numbers use the **latest upload per vertical**. If you uploaded NTS_AEO yesterday but TSI two weeks ago, the aggregate uses today's NTS_AEO and the two-week-old TSI.
+- The "Last Upload" column in the vertical breakdown shows the `report_date` of each vertical's most recent upload.
+
+**3. Check the snapshot.**
+
+- The trend chart reads from `compliance_snapshots`, not from current `compliance_items`. If you fixed a hostname today, it will not appear in the trend until the next upload writes a new snapshot.
+- Historical months are frozen — only the current month's snapshot updates on re-upload.
+
+**4. Check for ALL: rollup vs sub-team aggregation.**
+
+- If a vertical or cross-vertical total looks roughly 2x too high, you are probably summing rollup AND sub-team rows. Confirm with:
+
+  ```sql
+  SELECT team, COUNT(*) FROM vcl_multi_vertical_summary
+  WHERE upload_id = <latest> AND metric_id = '<metric>'
+  GROUP BY team;
+  ```
+
+  You should see one `ALL: <vertical>` row plus one row per sub-team. Use only the `ALL:` row for cross-vertical totals.
+
+**5. Check for cross-vertical hostname collisions.**
+
+- A hostname appearing in two verticals (e.g., it was migrated between teams) needs the deduplication rules in [Cross-Cutting Correctness Rules](#cross-cutting-correctness-rules) to count once. Confirm with:
+
+  ```sql
+  SELECT hostname, vertical, team, status, seen_count
+  FROM compliance_items
+  WHERE hostname = '<hostname>'
+  ORDER BY hostname, vertical;
+  ```
+
+  If you see two rows with different `team` values, the device is counted under the team from its representative row (highest `seen_count`, then most recent `upload_id`).
+
+**6. Reconcile against the Summary sheet.**
+
+- Open the source xlsx for the upload, navigate to the Summary tab, and find the `ALL: <vertical>` row for the metric in question. The `Total`, `Compliant`, and `Non-Compliant` columns should match `vcl_multi_vertical_summary` exactly (the parser does not transform these numbers — it copies them verbatim).
+
+If after these steps the displayed value still does not match the source data, file an issue with the SQL output from steps 4–5 and the relevant Summary sheet rows attached.
+

+
+## Worked Example — Vulns_Aging vs 7.1.1 Forecast Charts
+
+This example walks the playbook through two side-by-side per-metric forecast burndown charts that look very different despite using the same code path. It is the canonical case study for "the chart looks weird but the data is internally consistent."
+
+### What the charts show
+
+**Vulns_Aging — 17,628 devices.** Every bar is full-height, predominantly orange. The compliance line reads `0.1%` for March, jumps to `27.3%` in April, then back to `0.0%` for May. The total bar height is `17628` on every month.
+
+**7.1.1 — 6,149 non-compliant out of ~66,674 total.** Every bar is mostly blue (compliant) with a thin orange slice at the top. The compliance line stays between `90.8%` and `93.3%`. The total bar height is `66674` on every month.
+
+Both charts are produced by the same endpoint (`GET /api/compliance/vcl-multi/metric/:metricId/forecast-burndown`) and the same helper (`computeMetricForecastBurndown`). The difference is entirely in the input data.
+
+### Walking the playbook
+
+**Step 1 — Where does the value come from?**
+
+Both charts blend two sources: `compliance_items` for active non-compliant devices, and `vcl_multi_vertical_summary` for the metric's `total_assets`. The historical bars also use `compliance_snapshots` (vertical-level totals) reshaped via the ratio method.
+
+The differing input here is `total_assets`, sourced from this query:
+
+```sql
+SELECT SUM(total)::int AS total
+FROM vcl_multi_vertical_summary
+WHERE metric_id = $1 AND team LIKE 'ALL:%'
+  AND upload_id IN (
+      SELECT id FROM compliance_uploads
+      WHERE vertical IS NOT NULL ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 20
+  );
+```
+
+For `7.1.1` this returns ~66,674. For `Vulns_Aging` it returns 0 or null, and the route handler falls back to `totalAssets = metricNcCount` — the device count from `compliance_items` instead.
+
+**Step 2 — Check the upload date.**
+
+Both metrics are read from the latest 20 uploads, so this is not the cause of the difference. Skip.
+
+**Step 3 — Check the snapshot.**
+
+`compliance_snapshots` is vertical-level only — it does not store per-metric totals. Both metrics use the same snapshot rows scaled by the ratio method:
+
+```javascript
+metricNc = ROUND(snapshot.non_compliant * (currentMetricNc / currentVerticalTotalNc))
+```
+
+For `Vulns_Aging` the ratio is large (most of the vertical's non-compliant load is aging vulnerabilities), so historical `metricNc` values are sizeable. April happened to have a snapshot where the vertical's total was smaller — the ratio method produced a metricNc of roughly `17628 * 0.727 ≈ 12810`, leaving `(17628 - 12810) / 17628 * 100 ≈ 27.3%` compliance for that bar.
+
+That April spike is not a real compliance gain. It is an artifact of the historical snapshot's vertical-level non-compliant count being lower that month, multiplied by the metric's current share.
+
+**Step 4 — ALL: rollup vs sub-team aggregation.**
+
+Run the diagnostic query for each metric:
+
+```sql
+SELECT team, total, compliant, non_compliant
+FROM vcl_multi_vertical_summary
+WHERE metric_id = '7.1.1' AND team LIKE 'ALL:%'
+ORDER BY upload_id DESC LIMIT 5;
+```
+
+For `7.1.1` this returns rows like `('ALL: NTS-AEO', 66674, 60525, 6149)` — a clean, complete rollup.
+
+```sql
+SELECT team, total, compliant, non_compliant
+FROM vcl_multi_vertical_summary
+WHERE metric_id = 'Vulns_Aging' AND team LIKE 'ALL:%'
+ORDER BY upload_id DESC LIMIT 5;
+```
+
+For `Vulns_Aging` this returns **zero rows**. The Summary sheet of the source xlsx does not contain `Vulns_Aging` as a tracked metric. The metric exists only as a detail sheet inside the workbook, never as a Summary row.
+
+**Step 5 — Cross-vertical hostname collisions.**
+
+Confirm the device counts come from `compliance_items`:
+
+```sql
+SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT hostname) FROM compliance_items
+WHERE metric_id = 'Vulns_Aging' AND status = 'active' AND vertical IS NOT NULL;
+-- Returns 17628
+```
+
+This matches the chart's `total_assets` exactly, which is the smoking gun. The chart is showing 17,628 in scope and 17,628 non-compliant — `compliance_pct = 0%` is mathematically correct for the data the chart received.
+
+**Step 6 — Reconcile against the Summary sheet.**
+
+Open any recent xlsx upload for any vertical and inspect the Summary tab. Search for `Vulns_Aging` in the `Metric` column — it is not there. The Summary sheet enumerates the standard metric IDs (`2.3.5`, `5.2.4`, `7.1.1`, etc.) and has no row for the aging vulnerability dashboard.
+
+Now search for `7.1.1` — it appears with rows for both the rollup (`ALL: NTS-AEO`) and each sub-team. The Summary's `Total`, `Compliant`, and `Non-Compliant` columns match `vcl_multi_vertical_summary` exactly.
+
+### Why the charts look the way they do
+
+**Vulns_Aging is a tracked-but-uncategorized detail metric.** The Python parser walks every detail sheet of the xlsx and writes one `compliance_items` row per non-compliant device, using the sheet name as the `metric_id`. `Vulns_Aging` is one such sheet. But because `Vulns_Aging` does not appear in the workbook's Summary sheet, no row is written to `vcl_multi_vertical_summary` — there is no rollup, no compliant count, no total population.
+
+When the per-metric forecast endpoint asks for the metric's `total`, the query returns null. The handler falls back to `totalAssets = metricNcCount`, which is the count of non-compliant devices. The chart's denominator is therefore identical to its numerator, which forces every "current" compliance percentage to 0%. The April 27.3% spike is the historical ratio method projecting a smaller non-compliant count for that month against the same fallback denominator. May returns to 0% because May is the current month and uses the live device count, which always equals the fallback total by construction.
+
+The chart is **internally consistent with the data the database has**. It is not internally consistent with what an executive expects "compliance" to mean for an aging dashboard, because the source xlsx never reported a population total for that detail. The fix is upstream — either the xlsx Summary sheet needs to include a `Vulns_Aging` row with a population total, or the handler needs a special case to mark metrics with no Summary data as "not measurable for compliance percentage" and render the chart differently (e.g., counts only, no percentage line).
+
+**7.1.1 is a fully populated standard metric.** It has a sheet for the failing devices, a `metric_categories` mapping (`Logging & Monitoring`), and a Summary row with `Total`, `Compliant`, and `Non-Compliant` numbers. The route gets a real `totalAssets` value (~66,674), the compliance percentage is `(66674 - 6149) / 66674 ≈ 90.8%`, and the bar visualizes the actual ratio of compliant to non-compliant devices. Historical and forecast bars track real population data, not a fallback.
+
+### What this tells you about the dashboard
+
+The forecast burndown chart is honest about what it knows. When the source data lacks a population total, the chart degrades gracefully to "every device in scope is non-compliant" — which is a literal reading of the rows that exist. It does not fabricate a denominator. The cost is that metrics without Summary entries look catastrophically non-compliant on the chart even when the underlying business reality may be different.
+
+The diagnostic flow above is the canonical procedure: when a chart looks wrong, walk down to the Summary sheet rows and ask whether the metric is even represented as a tracked compliance metric in the source file. If the answer is no, the chart is reflecting an upstream data shape, not a calculation bug.
+
+
+---
+
+## Worked Example — Vulns_Aging vs 7.1.1 Forecast Charts
+
+This example walks the playbook through two side-by-side per-metric forecast burndown charts that look very different despite using the same code path. It is the canonical case study for "the chart looks weird but the data is internally consistent."
+
+### What the charts show
+
+**Vulns_Aging — 17,628 devices.** Every bar is full-height, predominantly orange. The compliance line reads `0.1%` for March, jumps to `27.3%` in April, then back to `0.0%` for May. The total bar height is `17628` on every month.
+
+**7.1.1 — 6,149 non-compliant out of ~66,674 total.** Every bar is mostly blue (compliant) with a thin orange slice at the top. The compliance line stays between `90.8%` and `93.3%`. The total bar height is `66674` on every month.
+
+Both charts are produced by the same endpoint (`GET /api/compliance/vcl-multi/metric/:metricId/forecast-burndown`) and the same helper (`computeMetricForecastBurndown`). The difference is entirely in the input data.
+
+### Walking the playbook
+
+**Step 1 — Where does the value come from?**
+
+Both charts blend two sources: `compliance_items` for active non-compliant devices, and `vcl_multi_vertical_summary` for the metric's `total_assets`. The historical bars also use `compliance_snapshots` (vertical-level totals) reshaped via the ratio method.
+
+The differing input here is `total_assets`, sourced from this query:
+
+```sql
+SELECT SUM(total)::int AS total
+FROM vcl_multi_vertical_summary
+WHERE metric_id = $1 AND team LIKE 'ALL:%'
+  AND upload_id IN (
+      SELECT id FROM compliance_uploads
+      WHERE vertical IS NOT NULL ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 20
+  );
+```
+
+For `7.1.1` this returns ~66,674. For `Vulns_Aging` it returns 0 or null, and the route handler falls back to `totalAssets = metricNcCount` — the device count from `compliance_items` instead.
+
+**Step 2 — Check the upload date.**
+
+Both metrics are read from the latest 20 uploads, so this is not the cause of the difference. Skip.
+
+**Step 3 — Check the snapshot.**
+
+`compliance_snapshots` is vertical-level only — it does not store per-metric totals. Both metrics use the same snapshot rows scaled by the ratio method:
+
+```javascript
+metricNc = ROUND(snapshot.non_compliant * (currentMetricNc / currentVerticalTotalNc))
+```
+
+For `Vulns_Aging` the ratio is large (most of the vertical's non-compliant load is aging vulnerabilities), so historical `metricNc` values are sizeable. April happened to have a snapshot where the vertical's total non-compliant count was lower — the ratio method produced a `metricNc` of roughly `17628 * 0.727 ≈ 12810`, leaving `(17628 - 12810) / 17628 * 100 ≈ 27.3%` compliance for that bar.
+
+That April spike is not a real compliance gain. It is an artifact of the historical snapshot's vertical-level non-compliant count being lower that month, multiplied by the metric's current share.
+
+**Step 4 — ALL: rollup vs sub-team aggregation.**
+
+Run the diagnostic query for each metric:
+
+```sql
+SELECT team, total, compliant, non_compliant
+FROM vcl_multi_vertical_summary
+WHERE metric_id = '7.1.1' AND team LIKE 'ALL:%'
+ORDER BY upload_id DESC LIMIT 5;
+```
+
+For `7.1.1` this returns rows like `('ALL: NTS-AEO', 66674, 60525, 6149)` — a clean, complete rollup.
+
+```sql
+SELECT team, total, compliant, non_compliant
+FROM vcl_multi_vertical_summary
+WHERE metric_id = 'Vulns_Aging' AND team LIKE 'ALL:%'
+ORDER BY upload_id DESC LIMIT 5;
+```
+
+For `Vulns_Aging` this returns **zero rows**. The Summary sheet of the source xlsx does not contain `Vulns_Aging` as a tracked metric. The metric exists only as a detail sheet inside the workbook, never as a Summary row.
+
+**Step 5 — Cross-vertical hostname collisions.**
+
+Confirm the device counts come from `compliance_items`:
+
+```sql
+SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT hostname) FROM compliance_items
+WHERE metric_id = 'Vulns_Aging' AND status = 'active' AND vertical IS NOT NULL;
+-- Returns 17628
+```
+
+This matches the chart's `total_assets` exactly, which is the smoking gun. The chart is showing 17,628 in scope and 17,628 non-compliant — `compliance_pct = 0%` is mathematically correct for the data the chart received.

+# VCL Multi-Vertical Upload — Design Brief
+
+## Purpose
+
+This document summarizes the design decisions and architectural choices for the VCL Multi-Vertical Upload feature. It is intended as a reference for presenting the approach to stakeholders and the compliance team.
+
+---
+
+## What We Are Building
+
+A new upload flow on the STEAM Security Dashboard that accepts multiple per-vertical compliance xlsx files (one per organizational vertical), ingests them with vertical-scoped resolution logic, and generates an executive-level VCL compliance report across all organizations — with drill-down by vertical and by metric.
+
+This is a POC. The compliance team currently exports data from CyberMetrics as xlsx files on a 24-hour cycle. This feature lets them upload those files and generate the same reports they currently build manually in PowerPoint/Excel for senior leadership.
+
+---
+
+## The Problem It Solves
+
+Today the compliance team has 14 separate xlsx files — one per vertical (NTS_AEO, SDIT_CISO, TSI, etc.). The existing dashboard upload flow accepts a single consolidated file and treats it as the complete compliance state. If you upload just one vertical's file, the system incorrectly marks every device from the other 13 verticals as "resolved."
+
+There is no automated way to:
+- Ingest all 14 files and produce a unified report
+- Drill down from the organizational view into specific metrics and devices
+- Generate burndown forecasts across verticals
+
+---
+
+## Key Architectural Decisions
+
+### 1. Vertical-Scoped Resolution
+
+**Decision:** When a file for vertical X is committed, only items belonging to vertical X are evaluated for resolution. All other verticals are untouched.
+
+**Why:** This is the fundamental change that makes per-vertical uploads safe. Without it, uploading one file would destroy data from the other 13 verticals.
+
+**Implication:** Verticals are independent. You can upload NTS_AEO on Monday and SDIT_CISO on Wednesday without interference. This also supports the daily upload cadence the compliance team wants.
+
+### 2. Vertical Identity Comes From the Filename
+
+**Decision:** The vertical code is extracted from the filename pattern `<VERTICAL>_YYYY_MM_DD.xlsx`, not from data inside the xlsx.
+
+**Why:** The internal xlsx structure is identical across verticals — same Summary sheet, same metric detail sheets, same columns. The only differentiator is the filename. This also means the Python parser requires zero changes.
+
+**Implication:** Filenames must follow the convention. If they don't, the system flags them as "unrecognized" and the user can manually assign a vertical. This is a reasonable tradeoff for a POC.
+
+### 3. Separate From Existing AEO Upload
+
+**Decision:** This is a new flow with its own endpoints (`/api/compliance/vcl-multi/...`), its own UI page, and its own nav entry. The existing AEO compliance upload is unchanged.
+
+**Why:** 
+- The existing flow works for the STEAM/ACCESS-ENG team's day-to-day operations
+- The compliance team may deploy this on a separate instance to experiment without affecting production
+- Different user groups with different needs — engineers vs. compliance analysts vs. senior leadership
+
+**Implication:** There are now two ways to upload compliance data. They coexist via the `vertical` column — existing AEO data has `vertical = NULL`, multi-vertical data has a vertical code. The VCL report page can aggregate either or both.
+
+### 4. Two-Dimensional Grouping (Vertical + Team)
+
+**Decision:** `vertical` and `team` are separate fields. Vertical is the organizational unit (NTS_AEO, SDIT_CISO). Team is the sub-team within a vertical (STEAM, ACCESS-ENG, ACCESS-OPS).
+
+**Why:** NTS_AEO contains multiple sub-teams. Senior leadership wants to see the vertical-level view. The STEAM team wants to see their team-level view. Both are valid groupings on the same data.
+
+**Implication:** The cross-organizational report groups by vertical. Drilling into NTS_AEO still shows the STEAM/ACCESS-ENG/ACCESS-OPS breakdown because that data exists in the "Team" column inside the xlsx.
+
+### 5. Summary Sheet Data Stored Separately
+
+**Decision:** The parsed Summary sheet (metric-level health data) is stored in a dedicated `vcl_multi_vertical_summary` table, not just as JSON on the upload record.
+
+**Why:** The metric drill-down view needs to query per-metric compliance percentages and targets efficiently. Storing structured rows enables filtering, sorting, and aggregation at the database level rather than parsing JSON blobs in application code.
+
+**Implication:** Slightly more storage, but enables fast queries like "show me all metrics below target across all verticals" without full-table scans.
+
+### 6. Batch Upload With Atomic Commit
+
+**Decision:** All files in a batch are committed in a single database transaction. If any file fails, the entire batch rolls back.
+
+**Why:** Partial commits would leave the report in an inconsistent state — some verticals updated, others stale. The compliance team uploads all 14 files together as a reporting cycle. It should either all succeed or all fail.
+
+**Implication:** If one file has a parsing error, the user is shown the error in the preview phase (before commit). They can remove that file from the batch and commit the rest. Once they hit "Commit," it's all-or-nothing.
+
+### 7. Daily Upload Support (Idempotent)
+
+**Decision:** Re-uploading the same vertical on the same day produces the same final state as uploading it once. The system doesn't create duplicate records.
+
+**Why:** CyberMetrics refreshes on a 24-hour cycle. The compliance team may want to upload daily to track movement. They shouldn't have to worry about "did I already upload today?"
+
+**Implication:** The resolution logic uses `vertical + hostname + metric_id` as the identity key. Recurring items get their `seen_count` incremented and metadata updated. New items are inserted. Missing items are resolved. Same logic as today, just scoped to the vertical.

+
+## How Metrics Are Calculated
+
+### Data Sources
+
+Each vertical's xlsx file contains two types of data:
+
+1. **Summary sheet** — one row per metric per sub-team, with pre-calculated totals (compliant, non-compliant, total, compliance %, target). This is the source of truth for aggregate numbers.
+
+2. **Detail sheets** — one sheet per metric, listing individual non-compliant devices (hostname, IP, device type, team). These feed the device-level drill-down.
+
+### The Double-Counting Problem (and How We Solve It)
+
+The Summary sheet contains **two levels of rows** for each metric:
+
+| Row Type | Example | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| Sub-team rows | ACCESS-OPS, STEAM, INTELDEV | Individual team breakdown |
+| Rollup row | ALL: NTS-AEO | Sum of all sub-teams for that metric |
+
+The rollup row already includes all sub-team totals. If you sum all rows naively, you count every device twice.
+
+**Solution:** All aggregate calculations (stats bar, vertical breakdown, category totals, snapshots) use **only the ALL: rollup rows**. Sub-team rows are stored for drill-down display but never included in totals.
+
+### What Each Number Means
+
+| Metric | Source | Meaning |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Total Devices** | Sum of `total` from ALL: rows across all metrics for a vertical | Total device-metric pairs evaluated (a device appears once per metric it's measured against) |
+| **Compliant** | Sum of `compliant` from ALL: rows | Device-metric pairs that pass the compliance check |
+| **Non-Compliant** | Sum of `non_compliant` from ALL: rows | Device-metric pairs that fail |
+| **Compliance %** | `compliant / total * 100` | Percentage of device-metric pairs passing |
+| **Target %** | Per-metric value from the spreadsheet (e.g., 95%, 80%, 75%) | The threshold set by the compliance program |
+| **Blockers** | Non-compliant devices in `compliance_items` with no `resolution_date` | Devices with no committed remediation timeline |
+| **In-Progress** | Non-compliant devices with a `resolution_date` set | Devices with a planned fix date |
+
+### Important: "Total Devices" Is Not Unique Devices
+
+A single physical device (hostname) can appear in multiple metrics. For example, one router might be measured against metric 5.5.4i (vulnerability scanning), 7.1.1 (logging), and 2.3.6i (patching). The "Total Devices" count is the sum of all device-metric evaluations, not unique hostnames.
+
+This matches how CyberMetrics reports — each metric has its own scope of applicable devices, and the overall compliance percentage reflects performance across all metrics.
+
+### Per-Metric Compliance Percentage
+
+Each metric row shows its own compliance percentage, which comes directly from the Summary sheet's "Current Compliance" column. This is a decimal between 0 and 1 (displayed as 0–100% in the UI). The target is also per-metric — some metrics have a 95% target, others 80% or 75%, depending on the compliance program's priorities.
+
+### Category Aggregation
+
+Metrics are grouped into categories (Logging & Monitoring, Vulnerability Management, Access & MFA, Endpoint Protection, etc.) based on a static mapping in `compliance_config.json`. The category cards in the drill-down view show the aggregate compliance % across all metrics in that category, using only rollup rows.
+
+---
+
+## Sub-Team Drill-Down
+
+### How It Works
+
+When you click into a vertical (e.g., NTS_AEO), the metrics table shows the **rollup totals** by default — one row per metric with the ALL: numbers. Two mechanisms expose sub-team data:
+
+**1. Expand/Collapse (▸ arrow)**
+
+Click the arrow on any metric row to reveal sub-team rows inline beneath it. Each sub-team row shows that team's compliant/non-compliant/total/% for that specific metric. The sub-team rows are visually indented and teal-highlighted.
+
+This is useful for: "Which team is dragging down metric 5.5.4i?"
+
+**2. Team Filter Buttons**
+
+A row of filter buttons appears above the metrics table showing all teams in that vertical (e.g., ACCESS-ENG, ACCESS-OPS, INTELDEV, STEAM). Click one to filter the entire table to show only that team's numbers per metric. The "All (Rollup)" button returns to the aggregated view.
+
+This is useful for: "Show me STEAM's compliance across all metrics."
+
+### What "(Other)" Means
+
+Some metrics have a team value of `(Other)` in the Summary sheet. This represents devices that don't map to a named sub-team. These are included in the ALL: rollup total but are not shown as a separate sub-team in the UI — they're noise for the compliance team's purposes.
+
+### Device-Level Drill-Down
+
+Clicking a sub-team row in the metric sub-team view navigates to the device list — individual non-compliant hostnames for that vertical + metric + team combination. The device list is filtered to only show devices belonging to the selected team. This data comes from the detail sheets (not the Summary sheet) and shows:
+
+- Hostname, IP address, device type, team
+- Seen count (how many consecutive uploads this device has been non-compliant)
+- First seen / last seen dates
+- Resolution date (if set)
+- Remediation plan (if documented)
+
+If a metric has no sub-team breakdown (e.g., only an "(Other)" team), a "View All Devices" button is shown instead, which loads the full unfiltered device list for that metric.
+
+The full navigation path is:
+
+```
+Overview → Vertical → Metric (sub-team totals) → Team (device list)
+```

+
+## Burndown Forecast
+
+The burndown forecast answers: "When will this vertical reach compliance?"
+
+**How it works:**
+1. Each non-compliant device can have a `resolution_date` set (target remediation date)
+2. Devices with dates are bucketed by month → "20 devices expected remediated in June, 35 in July"
+3. Devices without dates are counted as "blockers" — no committed timeline
+4. The trend chart uses linear regression on 3+ months of actual data to project a forecast line
+
+**What feeds it:**
+- Resolution dates can be set manually (click device → set date) or via bulk upload (xlsx with Hostname + Resolution Date columns)
+- The existing bulk upload flow on the VCL page already supports this
+
+**What the compliance team sees:**
+- Per-vertical: "NTS_AEO has 80 non-compliant, 25 are blockers, 55 have dates, projected clear by August 2026"
+- Aggregated: trend line showing whether the organization is on track to hit 95% target
+
+---
+
+## What Does NOT Change
+
+- Existing AEO compliance upload (single file) — unchanged
+- Existing VCL report page (STEAM/ACCESS-ENG view) — unchanged
+- Existing compliance_items table structure — only adds a nullable `vertical` column
+- Python parser — reused as-is, no modifications
+- Auth model — same groups (Admin, Standard_User) required for upload
+
+---
+
+## Deployment Options
+
+| Option | Description |
+|---|---|
+| Same instance | Add the feature to the existing dashboard. Multi-vertical data coexists with AEO data via the `vertical` column. |
+| Separate instance | Deploy a fresh instance with its own database. Compliance team experiments freely. No risk to dev/production data. |
+| Later: API integration | Replace xlsx upload with direct CyberMetrics API calls. Backend endpoints stay the same — just a different client pushing data. |
+
+The architecture supports all three without code changes. The `vertical` column and scoped resolution logic work regardless of deployment topology.
+

+
+## Open Questions for the Meeting
+
+1. **Vertical list** — Are the 14 verticals in the screenshot the complete set, or do new verticals get added periodically? (Affects whether we hardcode a list or keep it dynamic.)
+
+2. **Target % per vertical** — Is the 95% target uniform across all verticals, or do different verticals have different targets?
+
+3. **Access control** — Should the compliance team have their own user accounts with a specific role, or do they use existing Admin/Standard_User groups?
+
+4. **Naming** — What should this page be called in the nav? "CCP Metrics", "VCL Multi-Vertical", "Compliance Reporting", something else?
+
+5. **Retention** — How long should historical upload data be kept? (Affects trend chart depth and storage.)
+
+---
+
+## Timeline Estimate
+
+| Phase | Scope | Effort |
+|---|---|---|
+| 1. Migration + backend endpoints | Schema changes, upload flow, scoped resolution, stats/trend/drill-down APIs | 2–3 days |
+| 2. Frontend — upload modal | Multi-file drop, filename parsing, batch preview, commit | 1–2 days |
+| 3. Frontend — report page | Stats bar, vertical table, trend chart, donut, drill-down views | 2–3 days |
+| 4. Frontend — burndown | Per-vertical burndown chart, blocker counts, forecast | 1 day |
+| 5. Testing + polish | Property tests, edge cases, error handling, loading states | 1 day |
+
+Total: roughly 7–10 working days for the full POC.
