## What's inside Itochu Insight

### 01 · Hybrid RAG financial intelligence
A unified retrieval layer that blends SEC EDGAR filings, live web research, and Itochu's private documents — with BM25 plus dense vectors so answers stay precise whether the source is a 10-K footnote or an uploaded PDF.
Tags: BM25 + vector · SEC EDGAR · Private docs.

### 02 · 107-agent orchestration
Two NeuralSeek workflows — a Main Orchestrator that resolves a company and fans out to ingestion, search, and analysis sub-agents, and a Reports Orchestrator that drives the Summary, Longitudinal, Risk, and Peer Comparison decks through parallel section agents with a shared variable store.
Tags: Agent Swarms · 107 agents · Shared store.

### 03 · 5-year XBRL financial dashboard
Revenue, margins, EBITDA, and ROE pulled directly from SEC EDGAR XBRL, with YoY deltas and per-metric trend charts. Every metric documents its source filing (10-K / 20-F / 40-F / 10-Q / 6-K) and whether it was reported or derived.
Tags: XBRL · YoY deltas · Cited filings.

### 04 · Cited, multi-source agent chat
Analysts toggle between Quick Scan and Deep Research modes. Every response blends SEC filings, web research, and uploaded documents — with inline source attribution so reasoning is auditable back to the original artifact.

### 05 · Report generation — PDF & editable PPTX
On demand, the Reports Orchestrator assembles four deck types and deterministically stitches them into polished PDFs and editable PowerPoint files — ready to drop into an Itochu analyst workflow without post-processing.
