MCN operations: product questions with retrieval

Review retrieval for product questions in MCN operations. Check document scope, input mappings, source evidence and failure handling before production use.

What the documents look like

For product questions in MCN operations, this page examines FastGPT retrieval. Compare the material received with the sources used in the answer. The examples are hypothetical.

Constraints at the retrieval step

The product-selection question starts with the category scope listed in the proposed influencer contract. Test a literal category term and a natural-language question against that same source, comparing whether each result retains the whole scope. Semantic, full-text and hybrid searches need a common document baseline. A matching product word alone is insufficient to explain its surrounding restrictions. If account schedules are also searched, check the associated knowledge bases' embedding models and inspect whether scheduling text displaces the contractual evidence.

Three common errors

  • If a beauty-only contract becomes a product noun in the citation, compare the full clause with actual citation content to locate the missing restriction.
  • If a digital-product schedule becomes contractual permission, preserve both sources. A scheduled category does not establish an amended contract.
  • If a commission clause supports a claimed model approval, inspect candidate relevance to that model question and whether optimization added an unsupported product entity.

How to verify the setup

A separate test contract supplies a commission rate without model-specific promotion requirements. A returned commission clause still needs comparison with the question; related text cannot establish permission for a particular model. Retain the missing requirement, retrieved passages and claims made in the answer. After obtaining the relevant source, repeat the question and inspect whether question optimization preserves the product subject. Record the document addition separately from search-setting changes so that the change in the answer's evidence can be explained.
