Document Parsing and Chunking for Chemical Pharmaceutical Intelligent Due Diligence Reports

Data sources for chemical pharmaceutical intelligent due diligence reports cover pharmaceutical company annual reports, clinical trial submission

What the data for this category looks like

Data sources for chemical pharmaceutical intelligent due diligence reports cover pharmaceutical company annual reports, clinical trial submission materials, patent literature, raw material test logs, and CRO outsourced research reports. These are core data sources for financial institutions conducting due diligence on chemical pharmaceutical companies. Update rhythms vary significantly: annual reports update per fiscal year, clinical data updates in phases aligned with trial stages, and raw material logs update in real time per batch.

Document structures include large numbers of structured tables covering clinical trial data, raw material purity parameters, synthesis process parameters, alongside long text for research background and process descriptions. Fields include IC50 values, CAS numbers, batch numbers, purity percentages, with units such as mol/L, %, g and other professional measurement identifiers.

The multi-source data characteristics of chemical pharmaceutical due diligence reports create multiple constraints for the parsing and chunking process. If associated data in structured tables is split, the binding relationship between test data and corresponding batches will be lost. The parsing process must therefore retain row and column context for tables.

Long synthesis process description text is lengthy. Chunking operations must not interrupt the logical continuity of process steps. The binding relationship between professional fields and units must be retained to avoid mismatches between parameters and units during retrieval.

Documents with different update rhythms have wide span variations, from single-page raw material test reports to hundred-page clinical submission materials. This requires flexible adjustment of chunking granularity capabilities.

How to configure the settings

Configuration ItemRecommended ValueRationale
chunk_size800–1200 charactersAdapts to the length of long process descriptions and table blocks in chemical pharmaceutical documents, retaining complete context
chunk_overlap150–200 charactersRetains associated information between table rows and the front/back logic of process steps
PARSE_TABLE_STRUCTUREEnabledAccurately identifies structured tables in documents, retaining the binding relationship between test data and batch parameters
UPLOAD_FILE_MAX_SIZE2000 MBSupports uploading hundred-page clinical submission materials and patent literature
PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS1200 secondsAdapts to parsing time for large documents, avoiding mid-process interruptions
ENABLE_CHUNK_ANCHOREnabledUses unique identifiers such as CAS numbers and batch numbers as chunk anchors, improving retrieval accuracy

The parameter values provided on this page are common recommended starting points for configuration. Actual values are affected by material format, data volume and business rules. Specific issues require specific analysis, and it is recommended to test on your own samples before finalizing settings.

Three common errors

  • Phenomenon: After uploading chemical pharmaceutical due diligence documents larger than 10 MB, the generated chunks fail vectorization, and the log shows the vectorization_error status code. Cause: The chunk_size parameter was not adjusted for long documents, causing single chunk content to exceed the context limit of the vectorization model.
  • Phenomenon: For multi-table documents imported via webhook, some table fields are empty after parsing. Cause: The PARSE_TABLE_STRUCTURE configuration was not enabled, so column association relationships for multiple tables cannot be correctly identified.
  • Phenomenon: When attempting to import Feishu online spreadsheets into the knowledge base, only headers are retained without content after parsing. Cause: Feishu document authorization binding was not completed, and the authorization configuration for corresponding web spreadsheet parsing was not enabled, so complete spreadsheet content cannot be pulled.

How to confirm the configuration is correct

  • Upload a single clinical submission document larger than 10 MB, check the number of parsed chunks and the length of each chunk, adjust chunk_size until a single chunk covers a complete process paragraph or table row group.
  • Upload a raw material test report containing CAS numbers and purity parameters, check if the parsed chunks retain the association between fields and units, verifying the effect of the ENABLE_CHUNK_ANCHOR configuration.
  • Export the knowledge base's dataset.csv, confirm that the exported content includes chunked text from the original document and content beyond the template format, and check the status of the corresponding export configuration.
  • Trigger a vectorization task, check that there are no vectorization_error status codes in the log, confirming that the chunking parameters adapt to the context limit of the vectorization model.
