Citation Source and Traceability for Chemical Raw Materials Financial Report Analysis

What the Data for This Category Looks Like

Financial report data for the chemical raw materials category comes primarily from annual and quarterly reports publicly disclosed by domestic and overseas stock exchanges, plus monthly monitoring data released by industry associations. Stock exchanges follow a fixed update schedule: annual financial reports launch before April of the following year, quarterly financial reports release within one month after the end of the corresponding quarter. Industry associations update their monitoring data monthly. Documents mix structured tables and paragraph text, with fields including production capacity, output, unit production cost, average product price, and revenue proportion. Most units use standardized formats such as tons, yuan per ton, and percentage.

The concentrated update windows for financial report data require binding traceability to accurate disclosure times, to avoid analysis deviations caused by mixing data across periods. Many segmented product fields are scattered across different document paragraphs, so precise matching of the corresponding product’s data source is required during retrieval, to avoid confusing parameters of different products in the same financial report. Industry monitoring data updates more frequently than regular financial reports, so teams must distinguish traceability identifiers between publicly disclosed official documents and real-time industry data, to ensure citation sources can be quickly located via document numbers and release times. Single financial report documents have large file sizes, so field relevance must be retained during segmented parsing, to avoid damaging data context when splitting content.

How to Configure the Settings

Configuration ItemRecommended ValueRationale for This Value
recall_top_kTop 20–30 resultsA single chemical raw material financial report document contains multiple segmented product fields, so sufficient retrieval results must be covered to match the target analysis dimensions
chunk_max_length1200–1500 charactersAdapts to the mixed length of structured tables and paragraphs in financial reports, avoiding damage to field relevance during splitting
source_retrieval_enableEnabledTraceability information such as disclosure time and document number must be bound to meet compliance and traceability requirements
max_context_tokens16000–20000Accommodates the context of multiple financial reports and industry monitoring data, avoiding truncation of key traceability fields
parse_file_timeout_seconds300 secondsSufficient parsing time is required to process large annual financial report documents, preventing mid-process timeout interruptions

The parameter values provided on this page are conventional recommendations used as a starting point for configuration. Actual values are affected by material form, data volume, and business rules. Specific issues require individual analysis, and testing on local samples is recommended before finalizing settings.

Three Common Mistakes

  • Phenomenon: The model context interface only displays 30 entries, but the knowledge base returns 310 entries, and the number of entries sent to the inference node does not match. Cause: The segment merging configuration for full-text traceability is not enabled, and only the first segment of retrieval results is loaded.
  • Phenomenon: recall_top_k is set to 1500, but document blocks longer than 1500 characters in the knowledge base are still cited. Cause: The upper limit of the number of recalled entries is confused with the single-block length limit, and the chunk_filter_by_length parameter is not enabled synchronously.
  • Phenomenon: After passing data to the AI dialogue node via an HTTP workflow, the citation source is displayed as empty. Cause: The source_info field in the retrieval results is not passed in the specified format, and the metadata required for traceability binding is missing.

How to Confirm the Configuration Is Correct

  • Upload a single complete annual financial report document, view the parsed segment list, and confirm no core fields are forcibly split.
  • Initiate a targeted retrieval test, check that the number of returned results matches the recall_top_k configuration value, and each result includes a disclosure time and document source identifier.
  • Trigger a workflow test, check that the retrieval results passed to the dialogue node include traceability fields such as source and publish_time.
  • Adjust the max_context_tokens parameter, observe whether the number of loaded document blocks in the context changes with the configuration, and no key information is truncated.
