Policy and Regulatory Basis Q&A for Normative Document Legality Review: Citation Sources and Traceability

Policy and Regulatory Basis Q&A for Normative Document Legality Review: Citation Sources and Traceability

What this category’s data looks like

The data sources involved in this category include regulatory and rule repositories, higher-level law databases, departmental policy document repositories, and administrative normative document filing systems. Update frequency is irregular. Documents processed daily include normative document drafts, drafting explanatory notes, legality review opinions, solicited comment summaries, and filing reports. Document fields include issuing entity, effective date, full text of articles, audit process node records, and more. The length of individual documents varies widely. Core content consists of policy provisions and review basis.

Data sources are scattered and updates have no fixed cycle. Traceability links must match the latest official published document versions in real time. Daily processed documents include internal process records and policy provisions. It is necessary to accurately distinguish between review basis content and process documents to avoid traceability pointing to non-compliant files. The length of individual documents varies widely. It is necessary to ensure complete citation of original text to support legality judgments. Compliance scenarios have strict requirements for citation authority. Official data sources must be directly bound, and third-party compiled content cannot be relied upon.

Configuration Setup

Reference only; verify against the target FastGPT release and deployment documentation.

Configuration ItemRecommended SettingRationale
quoteMaxToken800–1200 tokenAdapts to the full citation length of normative document provisions, avoids truncating core policy basis
responseDataEnable traceability data returnEnsures that file metadata of citation sources is returned, meets traceability requirements for compliance review
detailEnable detailed traceability modeDisplays specific paragraph positions of cited provisions and source file identifiers
Number of associated knowledge basesTop 6Adapts to the mounting needs of multi-department policy repositories for public sector and state-owned enterprise entities, avoids excessive data sources causing retrieval delays
Total word count limit for associated knowledge bases1000–1500 MB, calibrated via actual testingBalances retrieval efficiency and content coverage, avoids resource exhaustion
Citation matching threshold0.85–0.95, calibrated via actual testingFilters irrelevant matching results, ensures authority and relevance of traceability content

Three Common Configuration Mistakes

  • Phenomenon: In non-tool call mode, the large model output does not include knowledge base citation entries. Cause: The responseData configuration item is not enabled. The system does not return traceability data fields, making it impossible to generate a citation list.
  • Phenomenon: After associating multiple policy-related knowledge bases, the number of retrieval results is abnormally reduced or no matching content is found. Cause: The number of associated knowledge bases or total word count limit is not set appropriately. Excessive data sources cause retrieval resources to be scattered or exhausted.
  • Phenomenon: Citation traceability only displays the file name, and does not mark the specific paragraph position of the provision. Cause: The detail configuration item is not enabled. Only file metadata is returned, and no detailed position of the cited provision is included.

How to Verify Successful Configuration

  • Initiate a test query containing specific policy provisions, and check whether the output result includes the file name and provision position of the citation source.
  • Adjust the configuration of associated knowledge bases, and verify that retrieval results change correspondingly as data sources increase or decrease.
  • Check configuration logs in the system backend, and confirm that parameter values of configuration items such as quoteMaxToken, responseData, and detail match preset values.
  • Trigger a test process simulating legality review, and check whether traceability content points to official compliant data sources.
