Structured Retrieval Earned Its Cost in the Audit Trail, Not the Answer Score
An ontology-driven finance system tied every selected fact to a complete provenance chain.
Summary
An ontology-driven finance system tied every selected fact to a complete provenance chain.
On FinanceBench, KDAF and BM25 were statistically indistinguishable on answer correctness, but KDAF reached citation-traceability F1 of 0.515 and admitted no evidence outside the question's subject entity. The negative accuracy result sharpens the claim: structured retrieval's measurable advantage here was auditability.
Why it matters
An ontology-driven finance system tied every selected fact to a complete provenance chain.
