Context and Token Budgets for Student Awards, Financial Aid and Hardship Assessment: Find Supporting Evidence

Student Financial Aid: review context & tokens for evidence lookup. Check source versions, input mappings and the values received by downstream nodes.

What this category's data looks like

Student awards, grants, loans, and hardship determination involve three types of materials: family economic hardship determination forms, scholarship and grant application forms, and loan receipts. The determination form records family members, income, and hardship level; the application form records the applied item, amount, and review comments; the loan receipt records disbursement and arrival information. Materials are updated by academic year or batch, and fields include name, student ID, amount, date, and signature fields. When entering this function, the determination form and application form serve as basis sources, and the receipt serves as a supporting source; together, the three support basis entries that can be traced back to the original text. The material version is based on the current academic year; old versions are retained but do not participate in the current determination. The field characteristic is multi-table intersection: the same student name, student ID, amount, and date need to be aligned across tables, and signatures and receipts constitute completeness conditions.

Configuration and implementation checks

This part is executed by application settings (response limit, etc.), which output the length of a single answer and the range of context that can be accommodated. "Basis entries that can be traced back to the original text" are then completed by the model. The response limit is controlled by a slider for the length of a single answer; if set too low, the answer will be truncated, and if set too high, consumption will increase.

Three common errors

  • Symptom: The name or student ID of the same student does not match between the determination form and the application form. Cause: The two forms were entered at different times without cross-checking, so the basis entries cannot be traced back to the same original text.
  • Symptom: The loan receipt is missing or has no attached signature. Cause: An omission occurred during material collection, the completeness condition is not satisfied, and the basis entries lack a supporting source.
  • Symptom: An old academic year determination form is mixed with the current application form. Cause: Versions were not synchronized, the material update pace is inconsistent, and the basis entries point to an expired version.

How to verify the setup

Acceptance for this function: ask a question that requires a long answer, see whether the ending is complete, and check whether the maxResponse and quoteMaxToken settings match the answer length.

Business test: ask a basis question that spans materials, see whether the answer gives a traceable source, and confirm that the number of items in the quote array and the quoted content budget are recorded separately.

  • In application settings, check the position of the response limit slider, ask a question that requires a long answer to see whether the ending is complete, and compare the usage changes between two runs.
  • Check the name, student ID, amount, date, and signature of the determination form, application form, and loan receipt one by one, and confirm that the version is current and can be traced back to the original text.
