Citation Source and Traceability for Game Industry Research Reports

The data for game industry research reports comes primarily from securities firm research institutes, third-party game industry consulting agencies

What the data for this category looks like

The data for game industry research reports comes primarily from securities firm research institutes, third-party game industry consulting agencies, public financial reports of listed game manufacturers, and official approval announcement documents for game publication numbers from the National Press and Publication Administration. Updates follow event-driven schedules. Concentrated updates occur after publication number approval batches are released. Industry research reports are synchronized for update after quarterly financial reports are issued. Content is also adjusted daily alongside new game launches and industry developments. Document structures typically include sections such as core business data, competitor benchmarking analysis, policy interpretations, and publication number qualification information. Core data fields include revenue, daily active users (DAU), and retention cycles, with units of ten thousand yuan, ten thousand, and natural days respectively.

What constraints do these characteristics impose on citation traceability

The dispersed multi-source nature, event-driven update schedule, and multi-field structure of game industry research reports create multiple constraints for citation traceability. First, data sources include official public documents, third-party research reports, and corporate financial reports. Unique identification formats vary across different sources. Unified mapping rules are required to ensure traceability can link to the unique number of the corresponding data source, such as publication numbers or research report release serial numbers. Second, update schedules fluctuate with events. New data is generated in concentrated batches after publication number approvals are released. Traceability needs to support marking sources by data collection batches to avoid accidental association of expired data. Additionally, naming differences exist for core data fields. Standardized field mapping is required to ensure referenced business data corresponds to the correct source document.

How to configure the settings

Configuration ItemRecommended ValueBasis for This Setting
Recall countTop 10 entriesGame industry research reports have high data density. Too many recalled results will cause redundant citations, while too few will fail to cover core question answers
Similarity threshold0.75–0.85Terminology is dense in segmented game industry research report scenarios. A threshold that is too low will introduce irrelevant research reports, while a threshold that is too high may miss valid data sources
Rerank result countTop 5 entriesGame industry questions typically focus on core business data. Returning the top 5 highly relevant data sources meets traceability requirements
Citation Source Matching RulesMatch by Document Title + Unique Identifier FieldDuplicate document names exist for game industry research reports. Unique identifiers such as publication numbers and research report release serial numbers must be used to avoid matching errors
Traceability Data Cache Duration24 hoursGame industry data has a high update frequency. Caching for too long will cause traceability to reference expired data. 24 hours balances performance and timeliness
Citation Field Standardization ToggleEnabledNaming differences for fields exist across different data sources for game industry research reports. Enabling the standardization switch unifies referenced field names and improves traceability readability

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

Three common mistakes

  • Phenomenon: When searching for game industry questions outside the knowledge base, citation links for documents within the knowledge base are still returned. Cause: The 无匹配结果时不引用知识库 configuration item is not enabled. The system defaults to falling back to general question answering logic, which forcibly associates knowledge base data sources.
  • Phenomenon: When calling the chat interface, the cite field in the returned result is empty or not returned. Cause: The 返回引用源ID switch is not enabled, or the Citation Source Matching Rules configuration is incorrect, preventing the generation of valid citation IDs.
  • Phenomenon: After configuring variable references in the knowledge base search card, the referenced game industry research report fields are not matched correctly. Cause: The Citation Field Standardization Toggle is not enabled. Naming differences for fields across different data sources cause variables to fail to bind target data correctly.

How to verify correct configuration

  • Upload a game industry research report document marked with a unique identifier, submit a question containing core data from this document, and confirm the unique identifier of this document appears in the citation list of the returned result.
  • Submit a game industry question not included in the knowledge base, and confirm no knowledge base citations are attached to the returned result.
  • Call the chat interface, and confirm the cite field in the returned result includes a non-empty list of citation IDs.
  • After configuring the variable reference rule, submit a query for the corresponding field, and confirm the returned result correctly associates the field data from the target research report.
