What's inside
System architecture
A three-tier design: React frontend, an Express.js REST API, and a PostgreSQL database, connected over authenticated HTTP.
Technology stack
The exact frameworks, libraries, and hosting providers used for every layer of the platform, and why each was chosen.
Security model
JWT-based authentication, role-based access control, encrypted data in transit and at rest, and audit logging.
Role-based dashboards
Purpose-built views for innovators, mentors, and administrators, each scoped to what that role needs to see and do.
Notifications
Multi-channel updates — in-app, email, and SMS — covering application status, mentor assignment, and deadlines.
Reporting & analytics
Filterable, exportable CSV reports and an analytics view for tracking incubation progress over time.
