Citation Source and Traceability for Aerospace Equipment

What this type of data looks like

Data sources for aerospace equipment financial reports primarily include annual and quarterly reports publicly disclosed by listed companies, public statistical information released by national defense and military industry associations, and major contracts and R&D progress temporary announcements issued by relevant entities. Update rhythm follows regular reports: annual reports are updated once per year, quarterly reports are updated each quarter, and temporary announcements are released immediately when major events occur. Document structures include sections such as company overview, operating situation discussion and analysis, R&D investment, order details, and asset composition. Fields involve professional terms like "number of on-orbit spacecraft", "launch service revenue", and "proportion of military product business". Units are mainly ten thousand yuan and hundred million yuan, as well as quantity units such as sets and units.

Constraints imposed by these characteristics on the "citation source and traceability" link

The multi-source and dispersed nature of aerospace equipment financial reports requires traceability links to cover multiple data sources including annual reports, temporary announcements, and industry statistics, to avoid information loss from single sources. Irregular temporary announcement updates require traceability systems to support incrementally triggered index updates, ensuring that the latest major contract and R&D progress information can be retrieved in a timely manner. The specificity of professional fields and units requires retaining original field names and units during traceability; arbitrary changes will reduce analysis accuracy. The long document section structure requires retaining contextual associations during retrieval, avoiding information distortion caused by fragmented professional expressions. Publicly disclosed financial report information must be strictly limited to legally available public scope; traceability links must filter non-public data sources to ensure citation compliance.

How to configure

Configuration Item	Recommended Value	Rationale
`recall count`	`top 8-12 entries`	Aerospace equipment financial reports have many professional fields, requiring sufficient context to support analysis, while avoiding excessive redundant information that disturbs results
`similarity threshold`	`0.75-0.85`	Semantic matching for professional terms requires high standards. This range filters low-relevance general financial report content and retains precise professional information
`segment length`	`1500-2000 characters`	Sections of aerospace equipment financial reports are long. This segment length retains complete professional expression context and avoids fragmentation
`citation source template`	`"{source type} {issuing entity} {release date} {document section}"`	Traceability for aerospace equipment financial reports requires clear hierarchical information. This template clearly displays the source type, entity, and specific location
`incremental update cycle`	`2:00 AM daily`	Public financial report updates concentrate during quarterly and annual report windows. Daily incremental update frequency does not need to be high. This time avoids business peak hours
`maximum context window`	`6000 characters`	Single sections of aerospace equipment financial reports are long. This window accommodates sufficient context information to support logical coherence for professional analysis

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

Three common configuration mistakes

When configuring recall count, the interface only provides 100 and 900 as optional values, and cannot set intermediate values such as 300. This is because the platform's preset recall count options use discrete ranges, and custom input is not enabled. Parameters must be adjusted via advanced configuration.
When attempting to cite aerospace equipment financial report fragments returned via HTTP interfaces, the system prompts "invalid citation source" and cannot include this content in the traceability scope. This is because the HTTP returned content has not been uploaded to the knowledge base or bound via API as an indexable data source, and has not been loaded into the vector retrieval pool.
After setting similarity threshold to 1, the generated analysis results still include citations from multiple non-target documents. This is because vector matching for professional terms has semantic deviations; a threshold of 1 cannot fully filter content with weak semantic relevance, and instead expands the retrieval pool scope.

How to confirm correct configuration

Upload a PDF of the annual public report of an aerospace equipment listed company, trigger the knowledge base parsing process, and check if the parsed fields include exclusive professional fields such as "military product revenue proportion" and "launch service order amount".
Initiate an aerospace equipment financial report analysis request, and check if the citation sources in the response clearly display source type, issuing entity, release date, and document section information.
Adjust similarity threshold to 0.8, verify that the retrieved documents only include content strongly relevant to aerospace equipment financial report analysis, with no irrelevant general financial information.
Test citing temporary announcement content returned via HTTP interfaces, confirm that this content can be correctly included in the traceability list and appear in the citation sources of the response.
