-# Fix: Empty Graph in Neo4j (No Relationships Found)
-
-## Problem
-
-When querying Neo4j for `CAUSES` relationships, you get "(no changes, no records)" because:
-
-1. **PDF extraction failed** - Missing dependencies (`unstructured[pdf]`)
-2. **0 relations extracted** - No text was extracted, so no analysis happened
-3. **0 relations written** - Nothing was written to Neo4j (correct behavior)
-
-## Root Cause
-
-The service completed with 0 relations because:
-- PDF file extraction failed: `partition_pdf() is not available because one or more dependencies are not installed`
-- No text was extracted from the PDF
-- No chunks were created
-- No Claude analysis happened
-- 0 relations were extracted
-- 0 relations were written to Neo4j
-
-## Solution
-
-### Step 1: Update Dependencies
-
-The `requirements.txt` has been updated to include:
-```
-unstructured[pdf]>=0.15.0
-unstructured[docx]>=0.15.0
-unstructured[pptx]>=0.15.0
-unstructured[xlsx]>=0.15.0
-```
-
-### Step 2: Rebuild the Service
-
-```bash
-cd /home/tech4biz/Desktop/prakash/codenuk/backend_new1/codenuk_backend_mine
-
-# Rebuild the service with new dependencies
-docker-compose build multi-document-upload-service
-
-# Restart the service
-docker-compose restart multi-document-upload-service
-
-# Check logs to verify it's working
-docker-compose logs -f multi-document-upload-service
-```
-
-### Step 3: Verify Dependencies
-
-```bash
-# Check if unstructured[pdf] is installed
-docker-compose exec multi-document-upload-service pip list | grep unstructured
-```
-
-### Step 4: Re-upload Documents
-
-1. Go to Project Builder in the frontend
-2. Click on "Upload Documents for Knowledge Graph"
-3. Upload a PDF or other document
-4. Wait for processing to complete
-5. Check Neo4j for relationships
-
-### Step 5: Check Neo4j
-
-Run these queries in Neo4j Browser:
-
-```cypher
-// Check if any nodes exist
-MATCH (n)
-RETURN count(n) as node_count
-
-// Check for CAUSES relationships
-MATCH (n:Concept)-[r:CAUSES]->(m:Concept)
-RETURN n.name as cause, m.name as effect, r.confidence as confidence
-LIMIT 50
-```
-
-## Expected Behavior After Fix
-
-1. **PDF extraction succeeds** - Text is extracted from PDF files
-2. **Text is chunked** - Document is split into manageable chunks
-3. **Claude analyzes** - Causal relationships are extracted
-4. **Relations are written** - Relationships are stored in Neo4j
-5. **Query returns results** - Neo4j query shows relationships
-
-## Verification Steps
-
-1. **Check service logs**:
-   ```bash
-   docker-compose logs multi-document-upload-service | grep -i "extracted\|relation\|neo4j"
-   ```
-
-2. **Check job status**:
-   ```bash
-   curl http://localhost:8000/api/multi-docs/jobs/{job_id}
-   ```
-   Should show: `"processed_files": 1` and relations count > 0
-
-3. **Check Neo4j**:
-   ```cypher
-   MATCH (n:Concept)-[r:CAUSES]->(m:Concept)
-   RETURN count(r) as relation_count
-   ```
-
-## Improvements Made
-
-1. ✅ **Added PDF dependencies** - `unstructured[pdf]`, `unstructured[docx]`, etc.
-2. ✅ **Added fallback extractors** - Uses `pdfplumber` if unstructured fails
-3. ✅ **Better error handling** - Shows actual errors in job status
-4. ✅ **Improved logging** - More detailed logs for debugging
-5. ✅ **Better Neo4j query** - Validates data before writing
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-If you still see 0 relations after rebuilding:
-
-1. **Check extraction logs**:
-   ```bash
-   docker-compose logs multi-document-upload-service | grep -i "extract"
-   ```
-
-2. **Check Claude analysis**:
-   ```bash
-   docker-compose logs multi-document-upload-service | grep -i "claude\|analyze"
-   ```
-
-3. **Check Neo4j connection**:
-   ```bash
-   docker-compose logs multi-document-upload-service | grep -i "neo4j\|graph"
-   ```
-
-4. **Verify document has causal language**:
-   - Not all documents contain causal relationships
-   - Try uploading a document with clear cause-effect statements
-   - Example: "Smoking causes lung cancer" or "Rain causes flooding"
-
-## Next Steps
-
-1. Rebuild the service with new dependencies
-2. Re-upload documents
-3. Check Neo4j for relationships
-4. If still no results, check service logs for errors
-5. Verify the document contains causal language

-# Neo4j Diagnostic Queries
-
-## Issue: No relationships found in Neo4j
-
-If you're seeing "(no changes, no records)" when querying for `CAUSES` relationships, here are diagnostic queries to check what's actually in the database.
-
-## Diagnostic Queries
-
-### 1. Check if any nodes exist
-```cypher
-MATCH (n)
-RETURN count(n) as node_count
-LIMIT 1
-```
-
-### 2. Check if Concept nodes exist
-```cypher
-MATCH (n:Concept)
-RETURN count(n) as concept_count, 
-       collect(DISTINCT labels(n)) as labels,
-       collect(DISTINCT keys(n)) as properties
-LIMIT 10
-```
-
-### 3. Check all relationship types
-```cypher
-CALL db.relationshipTypes() YIELD relationshipType
-RETURN relationshipType
-```
-
-### 4. Check all node labels
-```cypher
-CALL db.labels() YIELD label
-RETURN label
-```
-
-### 5. Check all relationships (any type)
-```cypher
-MATCH (n)-[r]->(m)
-RETURN type(r) as relationship_type, 
-       count(r) as count,
-       labels(n) as from_labels,
-       labels(m) as to_labels
-LIMIT 50
-```
-
-### 6. Check for CAUSES relationships specifically
-```cypher
-MATCH (n)-[r:CAUSES]->(m)
-RETURN n, r, m
-LIMIT 50
-```
-
-### 7. Check for relationships with lowercase "causes"
-```cypher
-MATCH (n)-[r]->(m)
-WHERE type(r) =~ '(?i)causes'
-RETURN type(r) as relationship_type, n, r, m
-LIMIT 50
-```
-
-### 8. Check all nodes and their relationships
-```cypher
-MATCH (n)
-OPTIONAL MATCH (n)-[r]->(m)
-RETURN n, labels(n) as node_labels, 
-       type(r) as relationship_type, 
-       m, labels(m) as target_labels
-LIMIT 50
-```
-
-### 9. Check for nodes created by the service (by job_id property)
-```cypher
-MATCH (n)-[r]->(m)
-WHERE r.job_id IS NOT NULL
-RETURN n, r, m, r.job_id as job_id
-LIMIT 50
-```
-
-### 10. Check database statistics
-```cypher
-MATCH (n)
-RETURN count(n) as total_nodes,
-       size([(n)-[r]->() | r]) as total_relationships
-```
-
-## Common Issues and Solutions
-
-### Issue 1: No nodes at all
-**Symptom**: Query 1 returns 0 nodes
-**Cause**: Service hasn't written anything to Neo4j, or connection failed
-**Solution**: 
-- Check service logs: `docker-compose logs multi-document-upload-service`
-- Verify Neo4j connection in service configuration
-- Check if job completed with 0 relations (extraction failed)
-
-### Issue 2: Nodes exist but no relationships
-**Symptom**: Query 1 returns nodes, but Query 6 returns no relationships
-**Cause**: Relationships weren't created, or different relationship type
-**Solution**:
-- Check Query 5 to see what relationship types actually exist
-- Check service logs for graph writing errors
-- Verify the job actually extracted relations (check job status)
-
-### Issue 3: Different relationship type
-**Symptom**: Query 5 shows relationships but not `CAUSES`
-**Cause**: Service might be using a different relationship type
-**Solution**:
-- Check Query 3 to see all relationship types
-- Update query to use the correct relationship type
-
-### Issue 4: Different node labels
-**Symptom**: Query 6 returns no results, but Query 2 shows different labels
-**Cause**: Service might be using different node labels
-**Solution**:
-- Check Query 2 to see what labels exist
-- Update query to match actual labels
-
-## Expected Structure
-
-After a successful upload, you should see:
-
-### Nodes
-- **Label**: `Concept`
-- **Properties**: `name`, `lastSeen`
-
-### Relationships
-- **Type**: `CAUSES`
-- **Properties**: `confidence`, `explanation`, `source_file_id`, `source_snippet`, `job_id`, `model`, `updated_at`
-
-### Example Query
-```cypher
-MATCH (cause:Concept)-[r:CAUSES]->(effect:Concept)
-RETURN cause.name as cause, 
-       effect.name as effect, 
-       r.confidence as confidence,
-       r.job_id as job_id,
-       r.source_file_id as source_file
-LIMIT 50
-```
-
-## Troubleshooting Steps
-
-1. **Check service logs**:
-   ```bash
-   docker-compose logs -f multi-document-upload-service
-   ```
-
-2. **Check if job completed successfully**:
-   ```bash
-   curl http://localhost:8000/api/multi-docs/jobs/{job_id}
-   ```
-
-3. **Check Neo4j connection**:
-   ```bash
-   docker-compose logs neo4j | grep -i error
-   ```
-
-4. **Verify Neo4j is running**:
-   ```bash
-   docker-compose ps neo4j
-   ```
-
-5. **Test Neo4j connection manually**:
-   ```bash
-   docker-compose exec neo4j cypher-shell -u neo4j -p password "MATCH (n) RETURN count(n)"
-   ```
-
-## Next Steps
-
-1. Run the diagnostic queries above
-2. Check the service logs for errors
-3. Verify the job status via API
-4. Re-upload documents after fixing dependencies
-5. Check if relations were actually extracted (job status should show relation count)

-# Multi Document Upload Service
+COMPLETE END-TO-END FLOW: Multi-Document Analysis to Report Generation
+Let me give you the most detailed explanation possible with theory, diagrams, and step-by-step breakdown.
 
-This service accepts large batches of heterogeneous documents, extracts causal
-relationships with Claude Sonnet 3.5, and writes them into Neo4j as a
-knowledge graph.
+🎯 SYSTEM OVERVIEW
+What We're Building:
+A system that takes 100+ documents (PDFs, DOCX, PPT, images, etc.) and generates a comprehensive onboarding report by understanding causal relationships and connections across all documents.
+Key Components:
 
-## Features
+Document Storage - Store uploaded files
+Content Extraction - Get text from different formats
+Causal Analysis - Understand cause-effect relationships (with Claude)
+Knowledge Graph - Store relationships in Neo4j
+Vector Database - Enable semantic search in Qdrant
+Report Generation - Create final report (with Claude)
 
-- Multipart upload endpoint (`POST /jobs`) capable of handling dozens of files
-  and mixed formats (PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX/CSV, JSON/XML, images, audio/video).
-- Content extraction powered by the `unstructured` library with fallbacks.
-- Chunking tuned for Claude Sonnet (800 token target, 200 overlap).
-- High-accuracy causal extraction using Anthropic Claude with provenance.
-- Neo4j graph writer that upserts `Concept` nodes and `CAUSES` edges.
-- Status endpoint (`GET /jobs/{id}`) and graph summary endpoint
-  (`GET /jobs/{id}/graph`).

+📚 COMPLETE THEORY-WISE STEP-BY-STEP FLOW
+Let me explain the entire system in pure theory - how it works, why each step exists, and what problem it solves.
 
-```bash
-uvicorn multi_document_upload_service.main:app --reload --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8035
+🎯 THE BIG PICTURE (Theory)
+The Problem:
+A new person joins a project that has 100+ documents (meeting notes, technical specs, design docs, emails, presentations). Reading all of them would take weeks. They need to understand:
+
+WHAT happened in the project
+WHY decisions were made (causal relationships)
+WHO is involved
+WHEN things happened
+HOW everything connects
+
+The Solution:
+Build an intelligent system that:
+
+Reads all documents automatically
+Understands cause-and-effect relationships
+Connects related information across documents
+Generates a comprehensive summary report
+
+
+🔄 COMPLETE FLOW (Theory Explanation)
+
+STAGE 1: DOCUMENT INGESTION
+Theory: Why This Stage Exists
+Problem: We have 100+ documents in different formats (PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, images). We need to get them into the system.
+Goal:
+
+Accept all document types
+Organize them
+Prevent duplicates
+Track processing status
+
+What Happens:
+
+USER ACTION:
+└─> User uploads 100 files through web interface
+
+SYSTEM ACTIONS:
+
+Step 1.1: FILE VALIDATION
+├─> Check: Is this a supported file type?
+├─> Check: Is file size acceptable?
+└─> Decision: Accept or Reject
+
+Step 1.2: DEDUPLICATION
+├─> Calculate unique hash (fingerprint) of file content
+├─> Check: Have we seen this exact file before?
+└─> Decision: Store as new OR link to existing
+
+Step 1.3: METADATA STORAGE
+├─> Store: filename, type, upload date, size
+├─> Store: who uploaded it, when
+└─> Assign: unique document ID
+
+Step 1.4: PHYSICAL STORAGE
+├─> Save file to disk/cloud storage
+└─> Record: where file is stored
+
+Step 1.5: QUEUE FOR PROCESSING
+├─> Add document to processing queue
+└─> Status: "waiting for extraction"
+
+STAGE 2: CONTENT EXTRACTION
+Theory: Why This Stage Exists
+Problem: Documents are in binary formats (PDF, DOCX, PPTX). We can't directly read them - we need to extract the text content.
+Goal: Convert all documents into plain text that can be analyzed
+What Happens:
+
+PROCESSING QUEUE:
+└─> System picks next document from queue
+
+Step 2.1: IDENTIFY FILE TYPE
+├─> Read: document.type
+└─> Route to appropriate extractor
+
+Step 2.2a: IF PDF
+├─> Use: PyMuPDF library
+├─> Process: Read each page
+├─> Extract: Text content
+└─> Output: Plain text string
+
+Step 2.2b: IF DOCX (Word)
+├─> Use: python-docx library
+├─> Process: Read paragraphs, tables
+├─> Extract: Text content
+└─> Output: Plain text string
+
+Step 2.2c: IF PPTX (PowerPoint)
+├─> Use: python-pptx library
+├─> Process: Read each slide
+├─> Extract: Title, content, notes
+└─> Output: Plain text string
+
+Step 2.2d: IF CSV/XLSX (Spreadsheet)
+├─> Use: pandas library
+├─> Process: Read rows and columns
+├─> Convert: To text representation
+└─> Output: Structured text
+
+Step 2.2e: IF IMAGE (PNG, JPG)
+├─> Use: Claude Vision API (AI model)
+├─> Process: Analyze image content
+├─> Extract: Description of diagram/chart
+└─> Output: Text description
+
+Step 2.3: TEXT CLEANING
+├─> Remove: Extra whitespace
+├─> Fix: Encoding issues
+├─> Preserve: Important structure
+└─> Output: Clean text
+
+Step 2.4: STORE EXTRACTED TEXT
+├─> Save: To database
+├─> Link: To original document
+└─> Update status: "text_extracted"
+
+Example:
+Input (PDF file):
+[Binary PDF data - cannot be read directly]
+Output (Extracted Text):
+
+"Project Alpha - Q3 Meeting Minutes
+Date: August 15, 2024
+
+Discussion:
+Due to budget constraints, we decided to postpone 
+the machine learning features. This will impact 
+our December launch timeline.
+
+Action Items:
+- Revise project roadmap
+- Notify stakeholders
+- Adjust resource allocation"
+
+Why This Stage?
+
+Different formats need different tools - One size doesn't fit all
+Extract only text - Remove formatting, images (except for image docs)
+Standardize - All docs become plain text for next stage
+Images are special - They need AI (Claude Vision) to understand
+
+STAGE 3: CAUSAL RELATIONSHIP EXTRACTION ⭐ (CRITICAL!)
+Theory: Why This Stage Exists
+Problem: Having text is not enough. We need to understand WHY things happened.
+Example:
+
+Just knowing "ML features postponed" is not useful
+Knowing "Budget cut → ML features postponed → Timeline delayed" is MUCH more useful
+
+Goal: Extract cause-and-effect relationships from text
+What Is A Causal Relationship?
+A causal relationship has three parts:
+CAUSE → EFFECT
+
+Example 1:
+Cause: "Budget reduced by 30%"
+Effect: "ML features postponed"
+
+Example 2:
+Cause: "John Smith left the company"
+Effect: "Sarah Chen became lead developer"
+
+Example 3:
+Cause: "User feedback showed confusion"
+Effect: "We redesigned the onboarding flow"
+
+How We Extract Them:
+
+INPUT: Extracted text from document
+
+Step 3.1: BASIC NLP DETECTION (SpaCy)
+├─> Look for: Causal keywords
+│   Examples: "because", "due to", "as a result",
+│             "led to", "caused", "therefore"
+├─> Find: Sentences containing these patterns
+└─> Output: Potential causal relationships (low confidence)
+
+Step 3.2: AI-POWERED EXTRACTION (Claude API) ⭐
+├─> Send: Full document text to Claude AI
+├─> Ask Claude: "Find ALL causal relationships in this text"
+├─> Claude analyzes:
+│   • Explicit relationships ("because X, therefore Y")
+│   • Implicit relationships (strongly implied)
+│   • Context and background
+│   • Who/what is involved
+├─> Claude returns: Structured list of relationships
+└─> Output: High-quality causal relationships (high confidence)
+
+Step 3.3: STRUCTURE THE OUTPUT
+For each relationship, extract:
+├─> Cause: What triggered this?
+├─> Effect: What was the result?
+├─> Context: Additional background
+├─> Entities: Who/what is involved? (people, teams, projects)
+├─> Confidence: How certain are we? (0.0 to 1.0)
+├─> Source: Which document and sentence?
+└─> Date: When did this happen?
+
+Step 3.4: STORE RELATIONSHIPS
+├─> Save: To temporary database table
+└─> Link: To source document
+
+Example: Claude's Analysis
+
+Input Text:
+
+"In the Q3 review meeting, the CFO announced a 30% 
+budget reduction due to decreased market demand
+As a result, the engineering team decided to 
+postpone machine learning features for Project Alpha. 
+This means our December launch will be delayed 
+until March 2025."
+
+
+Claude's Output:
+
+[
+  {
+    "cause": "Market demand decreased",
+    "effect": "CFO reduced budget by 30%",
+    "context": "Q3 financial review",
+    "entities": ["CFO", "Finance Team"],
+    "confidence": 0.95,
+    "source_sentence": "30% budget reduction due to decreased market demand",
+    "date": "Q3 2024"
+  },
+  {
+    "cause": "Budget reduced by 30%",
+    "effect": "Machine learning features postponed",
+    "context": "Project Alpha roadmap adjustment",
+    "entities": ["Engineering Team", "Project Alpha", "ML Team"],
+    "confidence": 0.92,
+    "source_sentence": "decided to postpone machine learning features",
+    "date": "Q3 2024"
+  },
+  {
+    "cause": "ML features postponed",
+    "effect": "Launch delayed from December to March",
+    "context": "Timeline impact",
+    "entities": ["Project Alpha"],
+    "confidence": 0.90,
+    "source_sentence": "December launch will be delayed until March 2025",
+    "date": "2024-2025"
+  }
+]

+### **Why Use Both NLP AND Claude?**
 
+| Method | Pros | Cons | Use Case |
+|--------|------|------|----------|
+| **NLP (SpaCy)** | Fast, cheap, runs locally | Misses implicit relationships, lower accuracy | Quick first pass, simple docs |
+| **Claude AI** | Understands context, finds implicit relationships, high accuracy | Costs money, requires API | Complex docs, deep analysis |
+
+**Strategy:** Use NLP first for quick scan, then Claude for deep analysis.
+
+### **Why This Stage Is Critical:**
+
+Without causal extraction, you just have a pile of facts:
+- ❌ "Budget was cut"
+- ❌ "ML features postponed"  
+- ❌ "Timeline changed"
+
+With causal extraction, you understand the story:
+- ✅ Market demand dropped → Budget cut → ML postponed → Timeline delayed
+
+This is **the heart of your system** - it's what makes it intelligent.
+
+---
+
+## **STAGE 4: ENTITY RESOLUTION** 🤖
+
+### **Theory: Why This Stage Exists**
+
+**Problem:** Same people/things are mentioned differently across documents.
+
+**Examples:**
+- "John Smith", "John", "J. Smith", "Smith" → Same person
+- "Project Alpha", "Alpha", "The Alpha Project" → Same project
+- "ML Team", "Machine Learning Team", "AI Team" → Same team (maybe)
+
+**Goal:** Identify that these different mentions refer to the same entity.
+
+### **What Happens:**
+```
+INPUT: All causal relationships from all documents
+
+Step 4.1: COLLECT ALL ENTITIES
+├─> Scan: All causal relationships
+├─> Extract: Every entity mentioned
+└─> Result: List of entity mentions
+    ["John", "John Smith", "J. Smith", "Sarah", "S. Chen", 
+     "Project Alpha", "Alpha", "ML Team", ...]
+
+Step 4.2: GROUP BY ENTITY TYPE
+├─> People: ["John", "John Smith", "Sarah", ...]
+├─> Projects: ["Project Alpha", "Alpha", ...]
+├─> Teams: ["ML Team", "AI Team", ...]
+└─> Organizations: ["Finance Dept", "Engineering", ...]
+
+Step 4.3: AI-POWERED RESOLUTION (Claude API) ⭐
+├─> Send: All entity mentions to Claude
+├─> Ask Claude: "Which mentions refer to the same real-world entity?"
+├─> Claude analyzes:
+│   • Name similarities
+│   • Context clues
+│   • Role descriptions
+│   • Co-occurrence patterns
+└─> Claude returns: Grouped entities
+
+Step 4.4: CREATE CANONICAL NAMES
+├─> Choose: Best name for each entity
+├─> Example: "John Smith" becomes canonical for ["John", "J. Smith"]
+└─> Store: Mapping table
+```
+
+### **Example:**
+
+**Input (mentions across all docs):**
+```
+Document 1: "John led the meeting"
+Document 2: "J. Smith approved the budget"
+Document 3: "John Smith will present next week"
+Document 4: "Smith suggested the new approach"
+
+Claude's Resolution:
+
+{
+  "entities": {
+    "John Smith": {
+      "canonical_name": "John Smith",
+      "mentions": ["John", "J. Smith", "John Smith", "Smith"],
+      "type": "Person",
+      "role": "Project Lead",
+      "confidence": 0.95
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### **Why This Matters:**
+
+Without entity resolution:
+- ❌ System thinks "John" and "John Smith" are different people
+- ❌ Can't track someone's involvement across documents
+- ❌ Relationships are fragmented
+
+With entity resolution:
+- ✅ System knows they're the same person
+- ✅ Can see full picture of someone's involvement
+- ✅ Relationships are connected
+
+---
+
+## **STAGE 5: KNOWLEDGE GRAPH CONSTRUCTION** 📊
+
+### **Theory: Why This Stage Exists**
+
+**Problem:** We have hundreds of causal relationships. How do we organize them? How do we find connections?
+
+**Solution:** Build a **graph** - a network of nodes (things) and edges (relationships).
+
+### **What Is A Knowledge Graph?**
+
+Think of it like a map:
+- **Nodes** = Places (events, people, projects)
+- **Edges** = Roads (relationships between them)
+```
+Example Graph:
+
+    (Budget Cut)
+         │
+         │ CAUSES
+         ▼
+    (ML Postponed)
+         │
+         │ CAUSES
+         ▼
+  (Timeline Delayed)
+         │
+         │ AFFECTS
+         ▼
+  (Project Alpha)
+         │
+         │ INVOLVES
+         ▼
+   (Engineering Team)
+```
+
+### **What Happens:**
+```
+INPUT: Causal relationships + Resolved entities
+
+Step 5.1: CREATE EVENT NODES
+For each causal relationship:
+├─> Create Node: Cause event
+├─> Create Node: Effect event
+└─> Properties: text, date, confidence
+
+Example:
+Node1: {type: "Event", text: "Budget reduced by 30%"}
+Node2: {type: "Event", text: "ML features postponed"}
+
+Step 5.2: CREATE ENTITY NODES
+For each resolved entity:
+├─> Create Node: Entity
+└─> Properties: name, type, role
+
+Example:
+Node3: {type: "Person", name: "John Smith", role: "Lead"}
+Node4: {type: "Project", name: "Project Alpha"}
+
+Step 5.3: CREATE DOCUMENT NODES
+For each source document:
+└─> Create Node: Document
+    Properties: filename, date, type
+
+Example:
+Node5: {type: "Document", name: "Q3_meeting.pdf"}
+
+Step 5.4: CREATE RELATIONSHIPS (Edges)
+├─> CAUSES: Event1 → Event2
+├─> INVOLVED_IN: Person → Event
+├─> MENTIONS: Document → Entity
+├─> AFFECTS: Event → Project
+└─> Properties: confidence, source, date
+
+Example Relationships:
+(Budget Cut) -[CAUSES]-> (ML Postponed)
+(John Smith) -[INVOLVED_IN]-> (Budget Cut)
+(Q3_meeting.pdf) -[MENTIONS]-> (John Smith)
+
+Step 5.5: STORE IN NEO4J
+├─> Connect: To Neo4j database
+├─> Create: All nodes
+├─> Create: All relationships
+└─> Index: For fast querying
+```
+
+### **Visual Example:**
+
+**Before (Just Text):**
+```
+"Budget cut → ML postponed"
+"ML postponed → Timeline delayed"
+"John Smith involved in budget decision"
+```
+
+**After (Knowledge Graph):**
+```
+           (John Smith)
+                │
+                │ INVOLVED_IN
+                ▼
+          (Budget Cut) ──MENTIONED_IN──> (Q3_meeting.pdf)
+                │
+                │ CAUSES
+                ▼
+         (ML Postponed) ──AFFECTS──> (Project Alpha)
+                │
+                │ CAUSES
+                ▼
+      (Timeline Delayed) ──INVOLVES──> (Engineering Team)
+```
+
+### **Why Use A Graph?**
+
+| Question | Without Graph | With Graph |
+|----------|---------------|------------|
+| "Why was ML postponed?" | Search all docs manually | Follow CAUSES edge backwards |
+| "What did budget cut affect?" | Re-read everything | Follow CAUSES edges forward |
+| "What is John involved in?" | Search his name everywhere | Follow INVOLVED_IN edges |
+| "How are events connected?" | Hard to see | Visual path through graph |
+
+**Key Benefit:** The graph shows **HOW** everything connects, not just WHAT exists.
+
+---
+
+## **STAGE 6: GRAPH TO VECTOR DATABASE** 🔄
+
+### **Theory: Why This Stage Exists**
+
+**Problem:** 
+- Neo4j is great for finding relationships ("What caused X?")
+- But it's NOT good for semantic search ("Find docs about machine learning")
+
+**Solution:** We need BOTH:
+- **Neo4j** = Find causal chains and connections
+- **Qdrant** = Find relevant content by meaning
+
+### **Why We Need Both:**
+
+**Neo4j (Graph Database):**
+```
+Good for: "Show me the chain of events that led to timeline delay"
+Answer: Budget Cut → ML Postponed → Timeline Delayed
+```
+
+**Qdrant (Vector Database):**
+```
+Good for: "Find all content related to machine learning"
+Answer: [50 relevant chunks from across all documents]
+```
+
+### **What Happens:**
+```
+INPUT: Complete Knowledge Graph in Neo4j
+
+Step 6.1: EXTRACT CAUSAL CHAINS
+├─> Query Neo4j: "Find all causal paths"
+│   Example: MATCH (a)-[:CAUSES*1..3]->(b)
+├─> Get: Sequences of connected events
+└─> Result: List of causal chains
+
+Example chains:
+1. Market demand ↓ → Budget cut → ML postponed
+2. John left → Sarah promoted → Team restructured
+3. User feedback → Design change → Timeline adjusted
+
+Step 6.2: CONVERT TO NARRATIVE TEXT
+Take each chain and write it as a story:
+
+Before: [Node1] → [Node2] → [Node3]
+
+After: "Due to decreased market demand, the CFO 
+reduced the budget by 30%. This led to the 
+postponement of machine learning features, which 
+ultimately delayed the December launch to March."
+
+WHY? Because we need text to create embeddings!
+
+Step 6.3: ENRICH WITH CONTEXT
+Add information from the graph:
+├─> Who was involved?
+├─> When did it happen?
+├─> Which documents mention this?
+├─> What projects were affected?
+└─> How confident are we?
+
+Enriched text:
+"[CAUSAL CHAIN]
+Due to decreased market demand, the CFO reduced 
+the budget by 30%. This led to ML postponement.
+
+[METADATA]
+Date: Q3 2024
+Involved: CFO, Engineering Team, Project Alpha
+Sources: Q3_meeting.pdf, budget_report.xlsx
+Confidence: 0.92"
+
+Step 6.4: CREATE EMBEDDINGS
+├─> Use: OpenAI Embedding API
+├─> Input: Enriched text
+├─> Output: Vector (1536 numbers)
+│   Example: [0.123, -0.456, 0.789, ...]
+└─> This vector represents the "meaning" of the text
+
+Step 6.5: STORE IN QDRANT
+For each enriched chunk:
+├─> Vector: The embedding
+├─> Payload: The original text + all metadata
+│   {
+│     "text": "enriched narrative",
+│     "type": "causal_chain",
+│     "entities": ["CFO", "Project Alpha"],
+│     "sources": ["Q3_meeting.pdf"],
+│     "confidence": 0.92,
+│     "graph_path": "Node1->Node2->Node3"
+│   }
+└─> Store: In Qdrant collection
+```
+
+### **What Are Embeddings?**
+
+Think of embeddings as **coordinates in meaning-space**:
+```
+Text: "machine learning features"
+Embedding: [0.2, 0.8, 0.1, -0.3, ...] ← 1536 numbers
+
+Text: "AI capabilities" 
+Embedding: [0.19, 0.82, 0.09, -0.29, ...] ← Similar numbers!
+
+Text: "budget reporting"
+Embedding: [-0.6, 0.1, 0.9, 0.4, ...] ← Very different numbers
+```
+
+Similar meanings → Similar vectors → Qdrant finds them together!
+
+### **Example Flow:**
+
+**From Neo4j:**
+```
+Chain: (Budget Cut) → (ML Postponed) → (Timeline Delayed)
+```
+
+**Convert to Text:**
+```
+"Budget reduced by 30% → ML features postponed → 
+December launch delayed to March"
+```
+
+**Enrich:**
+```
+"[Causal Chain] Budget reduced by 30% led to ML 
+features being postponed, which delayed the December 
+launch to March 2025.
+
+Involved: CFO, Engineering Team, Project Alpha
+Sources: Q3_meeting.pdf, roadmap.pptx
+Confidence: 0.91
+Date: August-September 2024"
+```
+
+**Create Embedding:**
+```
+[0.234, -0.567, 0.891, 0.123, ...] ← 1536 numbers
+
+Store in Qdrant:
+
+{
+  "id": "chain_001",
+  "vector": [0.234, -0.567, ...],
+  "payload": {
+    "text": "enriched narrative...",
+    "type": "causal_chain",
+    "entities": ["CFO", "Engineering Team"],
+    "sources": ["Q3_meeting.pdf"],
+    "confidence": 0.91
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### **Why This Stage?**
+
+Now we have the **best of both worlds**:
+
+| Need | Use |
+|------|-----|
+| "Find content about machine learning" | Qdrant semantic search |
+| "Show me the causal chain" | Neo4j graph traversal |
+| "Why did timeline delay?" | Start with Qdrant, then Neo4j for details |
+| "Generate comprehensive report" | Pull from BOTH |
+
+---
+
+## **STAGE 7: REPORT GENERATION** 📝 (FINAL STAGE)
+
+### **Theory: Why This Stage Exists**
+
+**Goal:** Take everything we've learned from 100+ documents and create ONE comprehensive, readable report.
+
+### **What Happens:**
+```
+USER ACTION:
+└─> User clicks "Generate Onboarding Report"
+
+Step 7.1: DEFINE REPORT REQUIREMENTS
+What should the report include?
+├─> Project overview
+├─> Key decisions and WHY they were made
+├─> Important people and their roles

+├─> Current status
+└─> Next steps
+
+Step 7.2: SEMANTIC SEARCH (Qdrant)
+Query 1: "project overview goals objectives"
+├─> Qdrant returns: Top 20 relevant chunks

-# Rebuild Instructions - Multi-Document Upload Service
-
-## Issue: Empty Graph in Neo4j
-
-**Problem**: Query returns "(no changes, no records)" because the job completed with 0 relations.
-
-**Root Cause**: PDF extraction failed due to missing dependencies (`unstructured[pdf]`).
-
-## Fixes Applied
-
-1. ✅ Added PDF dependencies (`unstructured[pdf]`, `unstructured[docx]`, etc.)
-2. ✅ Added fallback extractors (pdfplumber, python-docx, python-pptx)
-3. ✅ Improved error handling and logging
-4. ✅ Fixed Neo4j query syntax
-5. ✅ Better status messages
-
-## Rebuild Steps
-
-### Step 1: Rebuild the Service
-
-```bash
-cd /home/tech4biz/Desktop/prakash/codenuk/backend_new1/codenuk_backend_mine
-
-# Stop the service
-docker-compose stop multi-document-upload-service
-
-# Rebuild with new dependencies
-docker-compose build --no-cache multi-document-upload-service
-
-# Start the service
-docker-compose up -d multi-document-upload-service
-
-# Check logs to verify it's starting correctly
-docker-compose logs -f multi-document-upload-service
-```
-
-### Step 2: Verify Dependencies
-
-```bash
-# Check if unstructured[pdf] is installed
-docker-compose exec multi-document-upload-service pip list | grep unstructured
-
-# You should see:
-# unstructured
-# unstructured-pdf
-# unstructured-docx
-# etc.
-```
-
-### Step 3: Test the Service
-
-```bash
-# Check health endpoint
-curl http://localhost:8024/health
-
-# Should return:
-# {
-#   "status": "ok",
-#   "claude_model": "claude-3-5-haiku-latest",
-#   ...
-# }
-```
-
-### Step 4: Re-upload Documents
-
-1. Open frontend: `http://localhost:3001/project-builder`
-2. Go to Step 1: Project Type
-3. Find "Upload Documents for Knowledge Graph" section
-4. Upload a PDF or other document
-5. Wait for processing to complete
-6. Check status - should show relation count > 0
-
-### Step 5: Verify in Neo4j
-
-Run these queries in Neo4j Browser (`http://localhost:7474`):
-
-```cypher
-// Check if any nodes exist
-MATCH (n)
-RETURN count(n) as node_count
-
-// Check for CAUSES relationships
-MATCH (n:Concept)-[r:CAUSES]->(m:Concept)
-RETURN n.name as cause, 
-       m.name as effect, 
-       r.confidence as confidence,
-       r.job_id as job_id
-LIMIT 50
-```
-
-## Expected Results
-
-After rebuilding and re-uploading:
-
-1. **PDF extraction succeeds** ✅
-2. **Text is extracted** ✅
-3. **Relations are extracted** ✅
-4. **Relations are written to Neo4j** ✅
-5. **Query returns results** ✅
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-If you still see 0 relations:
-
-1. **Check service logs**:
-   ```bash
-   docker-compose logs multi-document-upload-service | tail -50
-   ```
-
-2. **Check extraction logs**:
-   ```bash
-   docker-compose logs multi-document-upload-service | grep -i "extract\|pdf"
-   ```
-
-3. **Check Claude analysis**:
-   ```bash
-   docker-compose logs multi-document-upload-service | grep -i "claude\|analyze\|relation"
-   ```
-
-4. **Check Neo4j connection**:
-   ```bash
-   docker-compose logs multi-document-upload-service | grep -i "neo4j\|graph\|write"
-   ```
-
-5. **Verify document has causal language**:
-   - Not all documents contain causal relationships
-   - Try uploading a document with clear cause-effect statements
-   - Example: "Smoking causes lung cancer"
-
-## Quick Test
-
-Test with a simple text file:
-
-1. Create a test file `test_causal.txt`:
-   ```
-   Smoking cigarettes causes lung cancer.
-   Heavy rain causes flooding.
-   Exercise improves health.
-   ```
-
-2. Upload it via the frontend
-3. Check Neo4j for relationships
-4. Should see 3 causal relationships
-
-## Next Steps
-
-1. Rebuild the service
-2. Re-upload documents
-3. Check Neo4j for relationships
-4. If still no results, check service logs
-5. Verify the document contains causal language

-# Multi-Document Upload Service - Frontend Testing Guide
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-1. **Backend Services Running**:
-   ```bash
-   cd /home/tech4biz/Desktop/prakash/codenuk/backend_new1/codenuk_backend_mine
-   docker-compose up -d
-   ```
-
-2. **Verify Services are Running**:
-   - API Gateway: `http://localhost:8000/health`
-   - Multi-Document Upload Service: `http://localhost:8024/health`
-   - Neo4j: `http://localhost:7474` (Browser interface)
-   - Frontend: `http://localhost:3001` (or your frontend port)
-
-3. **Check Service Health**:
-   ```bash
-   # Check API Gateway
-   curl http://localhost:8000/health
-
-   # Check Multi-Document Upload Service directly
-   curl http://localhost:8024/health
-
-   # Check via API Gateway proxy
-   curl http://localhost:8000/api/multi-docs/health
-   ```
-
-## Frontend Testing Steps
-
-### Step 1: Navigate to Project Builder
-
-1. Open your browser and go to: `http://localhost:3001` (or your frontend URL)
-2. Log in if required
-3. Click on **"Project Builder"** in the navigation
-
-### Step 2: Go to Multi Docs Upload Step
-
-1. In the Project Builder, you should see the workflow steps:
-   - **Step 1**: Project Type
-   - **Step 2**: Features
-   - **Step 3**: Multi Docs Upload ← **This is the new step**
-   - **Step 4**: Business Context
-   - **Step 5**: Generate
-   - **Step 6**: Architecture
-
-2. Complete Steps 1 and 2 (Project Type and Features selection)
-3. You will automatically be taken to **Step 3: Multi Docs Upload**
-
-### Step 3: Upload Documents
-
-1. **Click on the upload area** or **drag and drop files**
-2. **Select multiple files** (you can mix different formats):
-   - PDF files (`.pdf`)
-   - Word documents (`.doc`, `.docx`)
-   - PowerPoint (`.ppt`, `.pptx`)
-   - Excel files (`.xls`, `.xlsx`)
-   - JSON files (`.json`)
-   - XML files (`.xml`)
-   - Markdown files (`.md`)
-   - Images (`.png`, `.jpg`, `.jpeg`) - will use OCR
-   - Audio files (`.mp3`, `.wav`) - will be transcribed
-   - Video files (`.mp4`, `.avi`) - will be transcribed
-
-3. **View selected files**: You should see a list of all selected files with:
-   - File icon
-   - File name
-   - Remove button for each file
-
-4. **Click "Start Upload"** button
-
-### Step 4: Monitor Upload Progress
-
-After clicking "Start Upload", you should see:
-
-1. **Upload Status**:
-   - Button shows "Uploading..." with spinner
-   - Progress bar appears
-   - Stage messages appear:
-     - "Job received"
-     - "Saving files"
-     - "Extracting document content"
-     - "Calling Claude for causal relations"
-     - "Writing to Neo4j knowledge graph"
-     - "Completed"
-
-2. **Progress Indicators**:
-   - Progress percentage (0-100%)
-   - Status message showing current stage
-   - Processed files count vs total files count
-
-3. **Polling**: The frontend automatically polls the job status every 4 seconds
-
-### Step 5: Verify Results
-
-Once the job is completed:
-
-1. **Check Neo4j Graph**:
-   - Open Neo4j Browser: `http://localhost:7474`
-   - Login with:
-     - Username: `neo4j`
-     - Password: `password`
-   - Run Cypher query to see the graph:
-     ```cypher
-     MATCH (n)-[r:CAUSES]->(m)
-     RETURN n, r, m
-     LIMIT 50
-     ```
-
-2. **Check Job Status via API**:
-   ```bash
-   # Replace {job_id} with the actual job ID from the frontend
-   curl http://localhost:8000/api/multi-docs/jobs/{job_id}
-   ```
-
-3. **Get Graph Summary**:
-   ```bash
-   curl http://localhost:8000/api/multi-docs/jobs/{job_id}/graph
-   ```
-
-## Testing Different Scenarios
-
-### Scenario 1: Single PDF File
-- Upload one PDF file
-- Verify it processes correctly
-- Check Neo4j for causal relationships
-
-### Scenario 2: Multiple Mixed Format Files
-- Upload 3-5 files of different formats (PDF, DOCX, JSON, image)
-- Verify all files are processed
-- Check that progress updates correctly
-
-### Scenario 3: Large Files
-- Upload a large PDF (10+ MB)
-- Verify it handles large files correctly
-- Check processing time
-
-### Scenario 4: Error Handling
-- Try uploading an unsupported file type
-- Verify error message appears
-- Check that the error is displayed clearly
-
-### Scenario 5: Skip Option
-- Upload files
-- Click "Skip" button before completion
-- Verify you can proceed to the next step
-- Job continues processing in the background
-
-## Browser Developer Tools
-
-### Check Network Requests
-
-1. **Open Developer Tools** (F12)
-2. **Go to Network tab**
-3. **Filter by "multi-docs"**
-4. **Monitor requests**:
-   - `POST /api/multi-docs/jobs` - Upload files
-   - `GET /api/multi-docs/jobs/{job_id}` - Poll job status
-   - `GET /api/multi-docs/jobs/{job_id}/graph` - Get graph summary
-
-### Check Console Logs
-
-1. **Open Console tab**
-2. **Look for**:
-   - Upload progress logs
-   - Job status updates
-   - Any error messages
-
-### Check Response Data
-
-Verify the API responses:
-
-```javascript
-// Upload response should be:
-{
-  "job_id": "uuid-here",
-  "stage": "received",
-  "total_files": 3,
-  "created_at": "2024-01-01T00:00:00Z"
-}
-
-// Status response should be:
-{
-  "job_id": "uuid-here",
-  "stage": "extracting",
-  "status_message": "Extracting document content",
-  "total_files": 3,
-  "processed_files": 1,
-  "error": null,
-  "created_at": "2024-01-01T00:00:00Z",
-  "updated_at": "2024-01-01T00:01:00Z",
-  "files": [...]
-}
-```
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Issue: Upload fails with 502 Bad Gateway
-**Solution**:
-- Check if multi-document-upload-service is running:
-  ```bash
-  docker-compose ps multi-document-upload-service
-  ```
-- Check service logs:
-  ```bash
-  docker-compose logs multi-document-upload-service
-  ```
-
-### Issue: Upload fails with 413 Request Entity Too Large
-**Solution**:
-- Check file sizes (max 500MB total per job)
-- Reduce number of files or file sizes
-- Check API Gateway body size limits
-
-### Issue: Status polling stops working
-**Solution**:
-- Check browser console for errors
-- Verify job ID is correct
-- Check if job completed or failed
-- Check network tab for failed requests
-
-### Issue: No causal relationships found
-**Solution**:
-- Check Claude API key is configured correctly
-- Check service logs for Claude API errors
-- Verify documents contain causal language
-- Check Neo4j connection
-
-### Issue: Frontend shows "Failed" status
-**Solution**:
-- Check the error message in the frontend
-- Check backend service logs:
-  ```bash
-  docker-compose logs -f multi-document-upload-service
-  ```
-- Verify all dependencies are running (Neo4j, Redis, Postgres)
-
-## Expected Behavior
-
-### Successful Flow:
-1. ✅ Files upload successfully
-2. ✅ Job ID is returned
-3. ✅ Status polling starts automatically
-4. ✅ Progress updates every 4 seconds
-5. ✅ Stage changes are displayed
-6. ✅ Progress bar updates
-7. ✅ Job completes successfully
-8. ✅ Frontend automatically proceeds to next step
-9. ✅ Neo4j contains causal relationships
-
-### Error Flow:
-1. ✅ Error message is displayed clearly
-2. ✅ User can retry upload
-3. ✅ User can skip and proceed
-4. ✅ Error details are logged in console
-
-## API Endpoints Reference
-
-### Upload Files
-```bash
-POST /api/multi-docs/jobs
-Content-Type: multipart/form-data
-
-Form Data:
-- files: File[] (multiple files)
