What this category's data looks like
Materials for the business basis query for self-funded study abroad application services consist mainly of study abroad service contracts, school application forms, and personal statements, supplemented by payment receipts and signature pages. Contracts state the scope of services, fees, and refund terms; application forms contain fields, dates, and signatures; personal statements record versions and submission times. Materials are updated by application season; contracts and receipts are archived after signing, while application forms and personal statements undergo multiple rounds of revision before submission. Field characteristics center on names, quantities, dates, signatures, and receipts: the name, quantity, or date of the same record may not match across two materials; when versions are not synchronized, old drafts and new drafts coexist; missing signatures or receipts make the basis chain incomplete. When materials enter the knowledge base retrieval node, each is vectorized as an independent source; after a retrieval hit, the original text fragments and source identifiers are returned as a cited content array, for subsequent comparison of fields, ledger writing, and report generation.
Configuration and implementation checks
This step is executed by the citation output of the knowledge base retrieval node, which outputs a cited content array, each entry containing an original text fragment and a source identifier, and the length may be 0. "Basis entries that can be traced back to the original text" are completed subsequently by an AI node, a code node, or manually.
| Object | Check | Verification action |
|---|---|---|
| Study abroad service contract | Fields, dates, and signatures match the original text, and the version is current | In the node, check the selected collection and vector model, open the citation marker to compare against the original contract paragraphs, record the number of array entries, and separately review the quoteMaxToken budget |
| School application form | Names, quantities, and dates are consistent with the personal statement, and signatures and receipts are complete | Run a trial with a cross-material question, check whether the cited fragments can be traced back to the original text of the application form and personal statement, and verify the citation array and source identifiers in responseData (non-streaming module results returned with detailed output enabled) |
| Personal statement | The version is current, and the submission time corresponds to the receipt | Compare each cited fragment against the source document, confirm that old drafts are not hit, and record missing signatures or receipts as pending supplementation |
| Cited content output | The number of entries matches the materials hit; being empty is also normal | Run a trial with a question that has no matching materials, see that the output is empty while the chain continues, and verify the citation array length in quoteList |
Three common errors
- Symptom: the name, quantity, or date of the same record does not match between the contract and the application form. Cause: the two materials are entered separately without field comparison, and are directly concatenated after a citation hit.
- Symptom: both the old and new drafts of the personal statement are cited. Cause: versions are not synchronized, the knowledge base retains multiple versions, and the search parameters do not restrict to the current version.
- Symptom: the application form lacks a signature or receipt, and the basis chain is incomplete. Cause: the signature page and receipt were not checked during archiving, and the cited fragments cover only the body paragraphs.
How to verify the setup
Acceptance of this feature: ask a question with an original-text basis, and check whether the citation array and markers can be traced back to the original text; then ask a question with no matching materials, and confirm that the array is empty while the chain runs through.
Business test: ask a cross-material basis question, see whether the answer gives traceable sources, and verify that the number of citations and the quoteMaxToken budget are recorded separately.
- In the node, check the selected knowledge base collections and their vector models, open the search parameter panel, and verify the values item by item.
- In the conversation, open the citation markers, compare each citation against the source document to see whether it can be traced back to the original paragraph, and record the number of array entries.
