🚀 How to Use This Project

Quick Start (5 minutes)

# 1. Set up environment
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

# 2. Add API key
echo "OPENAI_API_KEY=your-key" > .env

# 3. Run system
python main.py

# 4. Run evaluation
python run_evaluation.py

What Happens When You Run

1. First run (python main.py):

   • Loads claim document
   • Creates 500+ hierarchical chunks
   • Builds 2 ChromaDB indexes
   • Takes ~2-3 minutes
   • Starts interactive query interface

2. Subsequent runs:

   • Loads from ChromaDB (instant)
   • No re-indexing needed
   • Set rebuild_indexes=False in main.py

3. Evaluation (python run_evaluation.py):

   • Runs 8 test queries
   • Evaluates with LLM judge
   • Outputs scores and JSON results
   • Expected score: ~4.25/5.00 (Grade B)

🎨 Key Features

Advanced Capabilities

1. Intelligent Routing: Manager automatically classifies queries
2. Auto-Merging: Small chunks merge to parents when needed
3. Metadata Filtering: Filter by section, date, chunk level
4. MapReduce Summaries: Pre-computed for fast access
5. Tool Augmentation: MCP tools eliminate hallucination
6. Evaluation Pipeline: Automated quality assessment
7. Section Retrieval Fallback: 3-tier mechanism (exact match → partial match → regular search) handles ChromaDB filter limitations gracefully

Production-Ready Elements

• ✅ Error handling throughout
• ✅ Logging for debugging
• ✅ Modular architecture
• ✅ Persistent storage (ChromaDB)
• ✅ Type hints and docstrings
• ✅ Configuration via environment variables
• ✅ Comprehensive testing

"What is this insurance claim about?"

# Needle capability
"What was the exact collision deductible?"

# MCP tool capability
"How many days between incident and filing?"

# Sparse data capability
"What specific observation did Patricia O'Brien make about lighting?"

# Hybrid capability
"Summarize the medical treatment and provide exact PT sessions."
