Citation Source and Traceability for Condiment Financial Report Analysis

Data Profile for This Category

Data sources for condiment financial report analysis primarily come from periodic reports officially disclosed by listed companies, and industry operation data released by the China Condiment Association. Listed companies must disclose annual reports within four months after the end of each fiscal year. Quarterly reports must be made public within 15 days after the quarter ends. Industry data updates the previous month’s production, sales, and revenue data at the start of each month. Most documents use PDF format. Periodic reports include consolidated financial statements and segmented revenue breakdown tables for product categories. Industry reports mostly use structured table formats, with fields covering revenue and production data for specific SKUs such as soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sauces. Common units are ten thousand yuan and tons.

Constraints for Citation Source and Traceability

Multi-field characteristics of segmented product categories require traceability to accurately match keywords for specific SKUs such as soy sauce and oyster sauce. This avoids retrieving irrelevant general food and beverage data. Data from multiple sources requires clear distinction between traceability rules for exchange-disclosed financial reports and industry association reports. This ensures the authority of cited sources. The monthly and quarterly high-frequency update rhythm requires regular knowledge base refreshes. This prevents use of outdated operating data. The tabular document structure requires retaining row and column information during parsing. Without this, analysis content cannot be linked to specific data entries, harming traceability accuracy. Data for some condiment company sub-brands is scattered across different sections of financial reports. Traceability must link to specific positions in corresponding sections, and only match data related to the target sub-brand.

Configuration Settings

Configuration ItemRecommended ValueRationale
recall_top_kTop 8-12 resultsCondiment financial reports include multi-dimensional fields such as segmented SKU revenue and costs. A sufficient number of retrieved documents are needed to cover data across different product categories, avoiding missed key citation sources
parse_table_structureRetain original row and column structureSegmented product category data in condiment financial reports is mostly presented in table form. Retaining structure ensures accurate matching to corresponding data rows during subsequent traceability
knowledge_auto_refreshEnabled, 30-day refresh cycleIndustry data updates monthly, and listed companies disclose quarterly reports. A 30-day refresh cycle covers the latest disclosed operating data
similarity_threshold0.75-0.85Keywords for condiment segmented product categories have high distinctiveness. A threshold that is too low retrieves irrelevant general food and beverage data. A threshold that is too high may miss valid source documents
citation_tag_style[number]Uniform citation mark format simplifies subsequent adjustment of display logic, adapting to display requirements for different scenarios

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

Three Common Configuration Mistakes

  • Phenomenon: Generated financial report analysis content includes "[1]" style citation marks that cannot be hidden through standard operations. Cause: The citation_tag_style parameter is not configured correctly, or the default switch for forced citation mark display is enabled.
  • Phenomenon: Retrieved citation sources include financial report data from non-condiment categories, leading to deviations in traceability results. Cause: The similarity_threshold is set too low, which retrieves general food and beverage documents and fails to accurately match condiment segmented keywords.
  • Phenomenon: Parsed financial report documents lose table row and column structure, making it impossible to link revenue data for specific segmented product categories. Cause: The parse_table_structure parameter is not enabled, or the parsing mode uses plain text conversion, which destroys the original table structure.

How to Verify Correct Configuration

  • Upload the latest financial report PDF of a listed condiment company, run a document parsing task, and check if the parsed result retains the table row and column structure for segmented product category revenue.
  • Submit a condiment financial report analysis query request, and check if retrieved citation sources only include condiment-related documents with no content from unrelated categories.
  • Generate an analysis report, check if the citation mark display format matches the preset configuration, or if the display status can be switched by adjusting parameters.
  • Wait for the automatic refresh task to trigger, and check if the knowledge base has updated the latest monthly industry data or listed company quarterly report content.
