### [How iSAM Funds built an options research platform for a 10,000x data problem with ClickHouse Cloud](https://yomu.fyi/post/how-isam-funds-built-an-options-research-platform-for-a-10-000x-data-p.md)

iSAM Funds, a UK-based systematic asset manager, built an options research platform on ClickHouse Cloud to handle the 10,000x data fan-out from underlying instruments to related options. Migrating from Postgres, the team achieved 35-50x compression and increased single-core ingestion from 8,000 to 800,000 rows per second, while ClickHouse’s native Apache Arrow support eliminated encoding reshuffling. ClickHouse’s columnar storage and vectorized execution made queries fast enough to run on demand, allowing the team to drop pre-computed rollups and materialized views and remove a layer of pipeline complexity. The managed service integrates with iSAM’s AWS footprint and enterprise authentication, pushes backups to iSAM’s own buckets for developer use, and lets them scale instances up for large backfills then down to control costs. The platform gives researchers fast, interactive access to full options history, shortening the time from hypothesis to tested strategy.

Finance teams must interpret data to guide decisions, but answering follow-up questions often requires manual extraction and metric negotiation, delaying answers past leadership discussions. Genie One is a data-smart AI coworker grounded in business context such as approved metric definitions, fiscal periods, and entity rollups, using Genie Ontology to unify context. It supports workflows including budget variance analysis, cash flow forecasting, financial close management, and spend analytics, allowing plain-language queries like “Which entities have unreconciled intercompany balances above $100,000?” Users can review tables behind answers, schedule recurring reviews, and have results posted to chat with visualizations. Genie One respects each user’s existing permissions, so a corporate controller sees enterprise-wide items while a regional accountant sees only relevant entities.
