+# Deploying FinChat to Hugging Face Spaces
+
+A free, step-by-step guide to putting FinChat online with a public link.
+
+---
+
+## 0. Before you start
+
+1. **Rotate your Groq API key.** Go to <https://console.groq.com> → *API Keys* → create a new
+   key. You'll paste the new key into the Space as a secret (never commit it).
+2. Create a free **Hugging Face account**: <https://huggingface.co/join>.
+3. Make sure **git** is installed (it is on this machine).
+
+---
+
+## 1. Create the Space
+
+1. Go to <https://huggingface.co/new-space>.
+2. **Owner:** you. **Space name:** `finchat`.
+3. **SDK:** choose **Streamlit**.
+4. **Hardware:** *CPU basic* (free). **Visibility:** *Public*.
+5. Click **Create Space**. You now have an empty Space repo.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Add your API key as a secret
+
+In your Space: **Settings → Variables and secrets → New secret**
+- **Name:** `GROQ_API_KEY`
+- **Value:** your Groq key
+
+The app reads this automatically (`os.getenv("GROQ_API_KEY")`), so no `.env` is
+needed on the Space.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Push the code
+
+From the project root:
+
+```bash
+git init
+git add .
+git commit -m "FinChat: RAG chatbot over SEC 10-K filings"
+
+# Connect to your Space (replace <username>)
+git remote add space https://huggingface.co/spaces/<username>/finchat
+git push space main
+```
+
+> `.gitignore` already excludes `.env`, `venv/`, `data/`, and `vectorstore/`,
+> so your key and large files stay out of the repo.
+
+The Space will build (install `requirements.txt`) and start. **On first load,
+the app builds the vector store itself** (downloads the dataset + embeds the
+chunks). On free CPU this takes roughly **5–8 minutes** the first time — the UI
+shows *"Preparing the knowledge base…"*. After that it's fast.
+
+---
+
+## 4. (Optional) Instant cold starts — commit the prebuilt index
+
+Free Spaces sleep after inactivity and rebuild the index on wake (~5–8 min),
+which is slow for someone clicking your link cold. To make cold starts
+**instant**, commit the prebuilt vector store using **git-lfs** (it's ~66 MB).
+
+```bash
+# One-time: install git-lfs from https://git-lfs.com then:
+git lfs install
+
+# Copy the prebuilt store into the repo
+mkdir vectorstore
+cp -r ~/.finchat/vectorstore/* vectorstore/     # Windows: xcopy /E /I %USERPROFILE%\.finchat\vectorstore vectorstore
+
+# Track the large binary files with LFS
+git lfs track "vectorstore/**"
+git add .gitattributes
+
+# Stop ignoring the committed store, then commit it
+#   -> remove the "vectorstore/" line from .gitignore first
+git add vectorstore .gitignore
+git commit -m "Add prebuilt vector store for instant startup"
+git push space main
+```
+
+Then, in the Space **Settings → Variables and secrets**, add a **variable**
+(not a secret):
+- **Name:** `FINCHAT_VECTORSTORE`
+- **Value:** `vectorstore`
+
+Now `ensure_index()` finds the committed store and skips the rebuild entirely.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Verify
+
+1. Open your Space URL.
+2. Wait for the first load (see the spinner if it's building).
+3. Ask: *"What are AMD's main business risks?"* — you should get a grounded
+   answer with a *Sources* panel and a routing badge.
+4. Add the live link to the top of `README.md` and to your portfolio.
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+| Symptom | Fix |
+|---|---|
+| `GROQ_API_KEY is not set` | Add the secret (Step 2) and *Restart* the Space. |
+| Build error on `datasets` | Confirm `requirements.txt` pins `datasets<3.0`. |
+| Stuck on "Preparing the knowledge base" | First build is slow on free CPU; wait, or use Step 4. |
+| Sidebar hidden | Click the **›** at the top-left to expand it. |

-# Welcome to Streamlit!
+# 💬 FinChat — Chat with SEC 10-K Filings
 
-Edit `/src/streamlit_app.py` to customize this app to your heart's desire. :heart:
+FinChat is a **Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)** chatbot that answers
+questions about public companies using their **SEC 10-K annual filings**.
+Ask *"What are AMD's main business risks?"* and FinChat finds the relevant
+passages in the filings and answers — **grounded in the source, with
+citations** — instead of making things up.
 
-If you have any questions, checkout our [documentation](https://docs.streamlit.io) and [community
-forums](https://discuss.streamlit.io).
+> Portfolio project · Retrieval-Augmented Generation over financial documents.
+
+<!-- After deploying, add your live link here:
+**🔗 Live demo:** https://huggingface.co/spaces/<your-username>/finchat -->
+
+---
+
+## ✨ Features
+
+- **Grounded answers with citations** — every response is backed by excerpts
+  from real 10-K filings, shown in an expandable *Sources* panel.
+- **Query routing ("knows where to look")** — FinChat detects which company a
+  question is about and searches *only* that company's filings via metadata
+  filtering, with graceful semantic fallback when the company is ambiguous.
+- **Refuses to hallucinate** — if the answer isn't in the filings, it says so.
+- **Benchmarked** — an LLM-as-judge evaluation scores answers against a
+  curated gold set (see [Evaluation](#-evaluation)).
+- **100% free stack** — local embeddings + a free LLM API. No paid keys.
+
+---
+
+## 🏗️ Architecture
+
+```
+INGESTION (once)
+  10-K sentences ──► reassemble into sections ──► split into chunks
+        ──► embed (local model) ──► store vectors + metadata in ChromaDB
+
+QUERY (per question)
+  question ──► detect company ──► embed ──► search (filtered by company)
+        ──► top-k chunks ──► LLM ──► grounded answer + citations
+```

+**Companies in the demo corpus (2017–2020 filings):** AMD, Abbott (ABT),
+Air Products (APD), AAR Corp (AIR), Matson (MATX). Swap them in
+[`src/config.py`](src/config.py).
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Setup
+
+```bash
+# 1. Create & activate a virtual environment
+python -m venv venv
+venv\Scripts\activate          # Windows
+# source venv/bin/activate     # macOS / Linux
+
+# 2. Install dependencies
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+# 3. Add your Groq API key: copy .env.example to .env and paste your key
+#    Get a free key at https://console.groq.com
+```
+
+## 🛠️ Usage
+
+```bash
+python -m src.ingest --list     # see which companies are available
+python -m src.ingest            # build the vector store (run once)
+streamlit run app.py            # launch the chatbot
+python -m eval.run_eval         # run the evaluation
+```
+
+---
+
+## 📊 Evaluation
+
+FinChat is graded by an **LLM-as-judge** against a **12-question curated gold
+set** whose reference answers are written from the 2017–2020 filings in the
+corpus (see [`eval/gold_set.py`](eval/gold_set.py)). Full report:
+[`eval/results.md`](eval/results.md).
+
+| Metric | top-5 (baseline) | **top-8 (tuned)** |
+|---|---|---|
+| CORRECT / PARTIAL / INCORRECT | 7 / 4 / 1 | **10 / 2 / 0** |
+| **Accuracy** (CORRECT=1, PARTIAL=0.5) | 75% | **92%** |
+
+Increasing retrieval depth from **top-5 to top-8 chunks** lifted accuracy from
+**75% → 92%** and eliminated the incorrect answer, with **no regressions** — the
+earlier misses were passages that existed in the filings but fell just outside
+the top-5.
+
+**Error analysis (remaining misses)**
+- ✅ Structural questions (segments, services, products, primary business) are
+  answered correctly across all companies.
+- ⚠️ The 2 remaining PARTIALs are exhaustive-list / framing recall gaps: the
+  risk-factor answer omits "competition," and the Matson answer omits the
+  "China" expedited service — the relevant passage is worded differently from
+  the question.
+
+*A corpus-aligned gold set was used because the dataset ends in 2020 while the
+FinanceBench benchmark targets 2018–2023 filings, so direct benchmark overlap
+is thin.*
+
+---
+
+## ☁️ Deployment
+
+Deploy to Hugging Face Spaces (free) — see **[DEPLOY.md](DEPLOY.md)** for
+step-by-step instructions. The app **self-builds** the vector store on first
+load, so no prebuilt index is required.
+
+---
+
+## ⚠️ Limitations
+
+- Answers are only as good as the retrieved passages; **numeric/table**
+  questions are the hardest part of financial RAG.
+- The corpus is scoped to 5 companies / recent years to stay laptop-friendly.
+- Not financial advice — a portfolio/educational project.

+## Detailed results
+
+### 1. What products does AMD design and sell?
+- **Company:** AMD  |  **Routed to:** AMD  |  **Verdict:** CORRECT
+- **Judge:** The system answer accurately conveys the key products designed and sold by AMD, with minor omissions of specific brand names.
+- **Reference:** AMD is a global semiconductor company. Its products include x86 microprocessors (CPUs), accelerated processing units (APUs) that integrate CPUs with graphics, discrete graphics processing units (GPUs), and semi-custom System-on-Chip (SoC) products.
