What this category's data looks like
The materials for self-funded study abroad application services mainly consist of study abroad service contracts, school application forms, and personal statements; the fields, dates, and signatures of these three form the basis for handover verification. The contract states the scope of services and the signing dates of both parties; the application form contains the institution name, field of study, application round, and submission date; the personal statement is marked with version, word count, and finalization date. When the materials enter the knowledge base retrieval node, the contract and application form serve as sources for field comparison, while the personal statement serves as the source for version and signature receipts, each playing a different role. The update rhythm advances with application rounds; each round produces a new version and receipt, and old versions are retained for traceability. Field characteristics include institution name, program name, number of material copies, signing date, and signature status. The same record may show inconsistencies in name, quantity, or date across two materials, versions may be out of sync, or signature receipts may be missing, requiring item-by-item reference back to the original text for verification.
Configuration and implementation checks
This step is executed by the citation output of the knowledge base retrieval node, which outputs an array of cited content, each entry containing an original text snippet and a source identifier, and the length may be 0. The handover-ready deployment status and operation records are completed by subsequent AI nodes, code nodes, or manual work. The citation array only carries original text snippets and source identifiers; it does not assume the responsibility of a discrepancy list, ledger, or report.
| Object | Check | Verification action |
|---|---|---|
| Study abroad service contract | Whether the contract fields, signing date, and signature are consistent with the application form and personal statement | Open the contract citation marker, verify the institution name, number of service copies, and signing date, and record the source identifier in quoteList |
| School application form | Whether the application form fields, submission date, and receipt are consistent with the contract and personal statement | Compare item by item the institution name, field of study, application round, and submission date, and check for missing signature or receipt records |
| Personal statement | Whether the personal statement version, word count, and finalization date are synchronized with the contract and application form | Verify the version number and finalization date, and confirm that the name, quantity, and date of the same record match across the two materials |
| Citation content output | The number of returned entries matches the hit materials; being empty is also normal | Run a test with a question that has no matching materials, observe that the output is empty while the pipeline continues, and register the array length and the quoteMaxToken budget separately |
Three common errors
- Symptom: The same institution name is written differently in the contract and the application form. Cause: The two materials were entered separately without field alignment, so when the citation refers back, it is impossible to determine which one is authoritative.
- Symptom: The personal statement version is not synchronized, and the old version is still cited. Cause: The knowledge base document was not replaced after the update, so the cited snippet does not match the current finalization date.
- Symptom: The application form lacks a signature or receipt, and the missing record is found during item-by-item verification of the handover form. Cause: The signing status was not returned during the material circulation step, and there is no corresponding source identifier in the citation array.
How to verify the setup
Acceptance for this feature: ask a question with original text support, verify whether the citation array and markers can refer back to the original text, and check that each cited snippet in responseData (non-streaming module results returned with detailed output enabled) corresponds to a paragraph in the source document; then ask a question with no matching materials, confirm that the array is empty while the pipeline runs through, and record the array entry count separately without comparing it for equality with quoteMaxToken.
Business test: perform one item-by-item verification according to the handover form, see which record is missing, and check whether the version, connection, and task record are consistent.
- Open the search parameter panel and verify item by item, confirm that the selected knowledge base uses the same vector model, and record the source identifier and citation count in
quoteList. - Run a test with a question that has no matching materials, confirm that the citation array is empty while the pipeline continues, and register the array length and the
quoteMaxTokenbudget.
