What this category's data looks like
Materials for this category are mainly study abroad service contracts, school application forms, and personal statements, supplemented by payment receipts, signature pages, and version records. The contract states the scope of services, fee milestones, and signatures of both parties; the application form states the school, program, intake, and submission date; the personal statement states the version number, word count, and revision date. Materials are updated on a rolling basis by application season, with multiple changes within a week, and field names, quantities, and dates often differ across materials. When entering the knowledge base retrieval node, the contract, application form, and personal statement are each associated as independent sources, used to answer questions about field definitions and date verification; the node is only responsible for returning the cited content array, not for comparison and ledger keeping.
Configuration and implementation checks
This part is executed by the citation output of the knowledge base retrieval node, which outputs a cited content array, each item containing the original text snippet and source identifier, and the length can be 0. Even if no content is found, the output chain still completes. The "progress table and statistical definition notes" are completed subsequently by AI nodes, code nodes, or manual work.
| Object | Check | Verification action |
|---|---|---|
| Study abroad service contract | Check whether the contract fields, signing date, and signatures of both parties are complete, and whether the scope of services, intake, and dates can correspond to those in the application form and personal statement | In the citation superscript, refer back to the original contract paragraph, record the field names, dates, and signature locations, and mark missing items |
| School application form | Check whether the school, program, intake, submission date, and receipt are consistent with the contract and personal statement | Open the cited source document, compare names, quantities, and dates item by item, and record inconsistencies |
| Personal statement | Check whether the version number, word count, revision date, and signature or receipt are synchronized with the contract and application form | View the cited snippet and the original text, and confirm the specific items where the version is not synchronized or the signature is missing |
| Cited content output | The number of returned items is consistent with the matched materials; being empty is also normal; quoteMaxToken is the cited content budget, and the number of array items is recorded separately | Run a test with a question that matches no materials, and see whether the array is empty while the chain continues; then check the citation information in responseData (non-streaming module results returned with detailed output enabled) and quoteList |
Three common errors
- Symptom: the name, quantity, and date of the same record do not match between the contract and the application form. Cause: the two materials were modified separately, no field-level verification was done, and one segment was taken from each when citing.
- Symptom: the personal statement version is not synchronized, and the cited snippet does not match the latest original text. Cause: the old version is still in the knowledge base, and retrieval hits the old paragraph.
- Symptom: the contract lacks a signature or the application form lacks a receipt, but they are still included in the total during statistics. Cause: the definition was not written into the table header, exceptions were not listed separately, and there is a discrepancy between the record count and the statistical count.
How to verify the setup
Acceptance of this feature: ask a question with original-text support, and check whether the citation array and superscript can refer back to the original text; then ask a question with no matching materials, and confirm that the array is empty while the chain completes.
Business test: use one week of records to verify the total, see whether the definitions and exceptions are clearly written, and whether the record count and statistical count match.
- In the node, check whether the selected knowledge base collections and their vector models are consistent.
- Open the search parameter panel and check the values item by item; run a test with a no-match question, confirm that the array is empty while the chain continues, and record
quoteMaxTokenand the number of array items.
