What Data for This Category Looks Like

Financial report data for investment platforms is primarily sourced from publicly disclosed documents of domestic and overseas stock exchanges, and compliant financial report databases. Quarterly reports are disclosed 1 to 2 weeks after the end of each quarter. Annual reports are finalized by the end of April of the following year. Temporary announcements are updated in real time. Documents contain structured report sections and unstructured supplementary note text. Fields cover core financial indicators such as attributable net profit, non-recurring attributable net profit, and earnings per share. Standard units are yuan, ten thousand yuan, and hundred million yuan.

What Constraints Do These Characteristics Impose on Citation Source and Traceability Workflows

Financial report data has a high proportion of structured content. Labeling only the entire document cannot support precise investment analysis, so tracing to specific report page numbers and supplementary note paragraphs is required. Fixed disclosure cycles and real-time updates of temporary announcements coexist. Incremental recall rules for corresponding time ranges must be configured to avoid introducing expired or redundant data. Individual financial report documents can be lengthy, with some paragraphs exceeding standard segment limits. Segmented traceability association must be handled to ensure one-to-one correspondence between citations and original text paragraphs. Fields include multiple unit variants. Corresponding unit identifiers must be bound during traceability to avoid data confusion.

Configuration Settings

Configuration ItemRecommended ValueRationale
recall counttop 8-12 entriesIndividual financial report documents have large content volume. Excessive recall will exceed context limits, while insufficient recall will fail to cover the core financial data required for analysis
maximum segment length1200-1500 charactersFinancial report supplementary note paragraphs are generally long. This range balances the integrity of single-segment information and retrieval accuracy
incremental recall time rangelast 180 daysFinancial report data is updated on a quarterly/annual basis. 180 days covers a complete reporting cycle while avoiding redundant data
citation source display fieldsfile name + report page number + paragraph numberInvestment scenarios require precise positioning of specific financial report locations to facilitate analysts' cross-verification of data sources
similarity threshold0.75-0.85Financial report field names have a high degree of standardization. This range filters irrelevant data while retaining relevant paragraphs
reorder return counttop 5-6 entriesCore financial report data is concentrated. Retaining highly relevant results after reordering meets analysis needs

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 case-by-case analysis. It is recommended to test on your own samples before finalizing settings.

Three Common Misconfigurations

  • Scenario: After setting maximum segment length to 1500 characters, financial report paragraphs in the knowledge base that exceed this length are still recalled and cited. Cause: Automatic segment truncation configuration is not enabled, or truncation rules are only applied during file upload rather than during retrieval.
  • Scenario: After retrieving financial report-related data, only citation identifiers are returned without corresponding content. Cause: Critical information is missing from the citation source display fields configuration, or retrieval results are not bound to unique identifiers of original text paragraphs.
  • Scenario: Input errors occur when calling a retrieval plugin in a workflow. Cause: Parameters are not passed in accordance with the preset retrieval result output format, or required fields are not included in plugin input parameters.

How to Verify Proper Configuration

  • Upload a single financial report test file, check if the citation identifiers in retrieval results include file names, page numbers, and paragraph numbers, to confirm the citation source display fields configuration is active.
  • Adjust maximum segment length to a smaller value, upload an extremely long financial report document, and check if citation identifiers for corresponding segments are automatically generated, to confirm truncation rules are working correctly.
  • Trigger an incremental recall task, check if retrieval results only include financial report data within the specified time range, to confirm the incremental recall time range configuration is correct.
  • Call a workflow to test the retrieval function, check if the returned result format matches preset requirements, to confirm plugin input parameters and output format are aligned.
