## Data Processing

### Data Loading and Validation
The `DataProcessor` class handles data loading with robust error handling:

```python
def load_data(self):
    try:
        # Load Excel data with efficient data streaming
        self.df = pd.read_excel(self.excel_path, sheet_name="WEF Partners")
        
        # Load PDF insights
        with open(self.pdf_path, "rb") as f:
            reader = PdfReader(f)
            self.pdf_insights = " ".join([page.extract_text() for page in reader.pages[:2]])
        
        # Process the dataframe
        self._process_dataframe()
        
    except FileNotFoundError as e:
        print(f"ERROR: File not found - {e}")
        raise
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"ERROR: Failed to load data - {e}")
        raise
```

### Metric Calculation
The system calculates several key metrics:

#### Social Responsibility Index (SRI)
```
SRI = (compliance_weight * compliance_score) + 
      (emissions_weight * emissions_score) + 
      (penalties_weight * penalties_score)
```
Where:
- `compliance_score`: Alive Standards compliance (0-100)
- `emissions_score`: Inverted CO2 emissions scale (higher is better)
- `penalties_score`: Inverted legal penalties scale (higher is better)

#### Penalty Severity Index (PSI)
```
PSI = log10((Total Penalties / Revenue_2024) × 10^6)
```
With a repeat offender multiplier of 2.5× for companies with recurring violations.

### Anomaly Detection
The system uses the Isolation Forest algorithm to detect anomalies in the dataset:

```python
def _detect_anomalies(self):
    # Select features for anomaly detection
    features = ['CO2_Emissions', 'Legal_Penalties', 'Alive_Compliance', 'PSI']
    X = self.df[features].fillna(0)
    
    # Standardize the features
    scaler = StandardScaler()
    X_scaled = scaler.fit_transform(X)
    
    # Apply Isolation Forest
    model = IsolationForest(contamination=0.1, random_state=42)
    self.df['Anomaly'] = model.fit_predict(X_scaled)
    
    # Convert to binary labels (1: normal, -1: anomaly)
    self.df['Anomaly'] = self.df['Anomaly'].map({1: 'Normal', -1: 'Anomaly'})
```

## Visualization Components

### Risk Matrix
The risk matrix plots companies based on their compliance scores and legal penalties, with bubble size representing CO2 emissions:

```python
def create_risk_matrix(df, selected_industries=None, year=2024):
    # Filter data
    filtered_df = df.copy()
    if selected_industries:
        filtered_df = filtered_df[filtered_df['Industry'].isin(selected_industries)]
    
    # Create the scatter plot
    fig = px.scatter(
        filtered_df,
        x='Alive_Compliance',
        y='Legal_Penalties',
        size='CO2_Emissions',
        color='Industry',
        color_discrete_map=INDUSTRY_COLORS,
        hover_name='Company Name',
        title=f'Social Responsibility Risk Matrix {year}'
    )
    
    # Add quadrant lines and annotations
    # ...
    
    return fig
```

### Risk Heatmap
The heatmap visualizes multiple risk dimensions across companies:

```python
def create_risk_heatmap(df, selected_industries=None):
    # Prepare risk metrics
    risk_metrics = {
        'CO2 Risk': 100 - normalized_co2_emissions,
        'Legal Risk': normalized_legal_penalties,
        'Compliance Risk': 100 - compliance_scores,
        'Social Index Risk': 100 - sri_scores
    }
    
    # Create heatmap
    fig = go.Figure(data=go.Heatmap(
        z=z_values,
        x=risk_factors,
        y=companies,
        colorscale=[
            [0, COLOR_PALETTE["success"]],
            [0.5, COLOR_PALETTE["warning"]],
            [1, COLOR_PALETTE["danger"]]
        ]
    ))
    
    return fig
```

### Emissions Chart
The emissions chart compares CO2 emissions across industries:

```python
def create_emissions_chart(df, selected_industries=None):
    # Group by industry and calculate total emissions
    industry_emissions = filtered_df.groupby('Industry')['CO2_Emissions'].sum().reset_index()
    
    # Calculate the percentage of total emissions
    total_emissions = industry_emissions['CO2_Emissions'].sum()
    industry_emissions['Percentage'] = (industry_emissions['CO2_Emissions'] / total_emissions * 100)
    
    # Create the bar chart
    fig = go.Figure()
    fig.add_trace(go.Bar(
        x=industry_emissions['Industry'],
        y=industry_emissions['CO2_Emissions'],
        text=industry_emissions['Percentage'].map('{:.1f}%'.format)
    ))
    
    return fig
```

### Radar Chart
The radar chart shows circular economy dimensions for specific companies:

```python
def create_radar_chart(df, company_name):
    # Define circular economy dimensions
    dimensions = [
        'Waste Management', 
        'Resource Consumption',
        'Recycling & Recovery',
        'Eco-design',
        'Product Lifecycle',
        'Supply Chain Management'
    ]
    
    # Create the radar chart
    fig = go.Figure()
    fig.add_trace(go.Scatterpolar(
        r=r_values,
        theta=theta,
        fill='toself',
        name=company_name
    ))
    
    return fig
```

### Parallel Coordinates
The parallel coordinates plot visualizes anomalies and multidimensional relationships:

```python
def create_parallel_coordinates(df):
    # Apply log transform for better visualization
    plot_df['CO2_Emissions_log'] = np.log1p(plot_df['CO2_Emissions'])
    plot_df['Legal_Penalties_log'] = np.log1p(plot_df['Legal_Penalties'])
    
    # Create the parallel coordinates plot
    fig = px.parallel_coordinates(
        plot_df,
        dimensions=[
            'Alive_Compliance',
            'Legal_Penalties_log',
            'CO2_Emissions_log',
            'PSI',
            'SRI'
        ],
        color='Anomaly'
    )
    
    return fig
```

## Interactive Dashboard

The interactive dashboard integrates all visualization components with filtering controls:

```python
# Define dashboard layout
app.layout = html.Div([
    # Header
    html.Div([
        html.H1("Alive Standards Compliance Dashboard")
    ]),
    
    # Control Panel
    html.Div([
        # Industry Filter
        html.Div([
            html.Label("Filter by Industry:"),
            dcc.Dropdown(
                id='industry-filter',
                options=[{'label': i, 'value': i} for i in sorted(df['Industry'].unique())],
                multi=True,
                value=['Energy', 'Technology']
            )
        ]),
        
        # Year Slider
        html.Div([
            html.Label("Select Year:"),
            dcc.Slider(
                id='year-slider',
                min=2023,
                max=2024,
                value=2024,
                marks={2023: '2023', 2024: '2024'}
            )
        ]),
        
        # Company Selection
        html.Div([
            html.Label("Select Company:"),
            dcc.Dropdown(
                id='company-selector',
                options=[{'label': name, 'value': name} for name in sorted(df['Company Name'].unique())]
            )
        ])
    ]),
    
    # Visualization Panels
    html.Div([
        # Risk Matrix Panel
        html.Div([
            html.H2("Risk Matrix"),
            dcc.Graph(id='risk-matrix')
        ]),
        
        # Other visualization panels...
    ])
])

# Define callback for updating charts
@app.callback(
    [Output('risk-matrix', 'figure'),
     Output('risk-heatmap', 'figure'),
     Output('emissions-chart', 'figure'),
     Output('radar-chart', 'figure'),
     Output('parallel-chart', 'figure')],
    [Input('industry-filter', 'value'),
     Input('year-slider', 'value'),
     Input('company-selector', 'value')]
)
def update_charts(selected_industries, year, company_name):
    # Update risk matrix
    risk_matrix = create_risk_matrix(df, selected_industries, year)
    
    # Update other charts...
    
    return risk_matrix, risk_heatmap, emissions_chart, radar_chart, parallel_chart
```

## Design System

            yanchor="bottom", 
            y=1.02, 
            xanchor="right", 
            x=1
        ),
        xaxis=dict(
            showgrid=True,
            gridcolor="#EEEEEE"
        ),
        yaxis=dict(
            showgrid=True,
            gridcolor="#EEEEEE"
        )
    )
}
```
