📌 Executive Overview

Navigating the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and mandatory Quality Control Orders (QCOs) is daunting for India's 63+ million MSMEs. Technical jargon, complex testing tables, and frequent gazette amendments lead to costly delays, consulting fees, and shipment impoundments.

Manak AI transforms static BIS PDFs into an intelligent, interactive compliance copilot:

• ⚡ Instant Regulatory Mapping: Finds applicable Indian Standards (IS), mandatory QCO dates, and testing requirements in seconds.
• 🛡️ Zero Hallucination with Proof: Every statement is backed by clause-level citations, section numbers, and verified official excerpts.
• 📊 Automated Gap Analysis: Evaluates manufacturing readiness, identifies missing quality tests, and generates a 7-step certification roadmap.
• 🌐 Equitable Bilingual Access: Seamless native toggle between English and Hindi (हिन्दी) for grassroots manufacturers across Tier-2/3 industrial clusters.

📄 Document Processing Pipeline (Python & PyMuPDF)

BIS standards and gazette notifications are highly complex documents containing nested clauses, technical tables, footnotes, and occasionally scanned pages. Manak AI features a dedicated, production-grade Python ingestion pipeline in ingestion/ powered by PyMuPDF (fitz):

[BIS Standard / Gazette PDF]
           │
           ▼
  [ingestion/parser.py]
  ├── PyMuPDF (fitz) High-Speed Text & Layout Parsing
  ├── Scanned Page Detection Heuristic (len(text) < 50 & images > 0)
  │    └── Tesseract OCR Fallback (English + Hindi: eng+hin)
  ├── Structured Table Extraction (`page.find_tables()`) ➔ Markdown Tables
  └── Clause Boundary Regex Engine (`Clause X.X`, `Annexure [A-Z]`)
           │
           ▼
  [ingestion/chunker.py]
  ├── Context-Preserving Clause Hierarchy Assembly
  └── Self-Contained Chunk Generation with Parent Metadata
           │
           ▼
  [ingestion/embedder.py]
  └── Gemini Embedding 2 (768-dim Vector Embeddings)
           │
           ▼
  [Supabase PostgreSQL]
  ├── pgvector (HNSW Index for Cosine Similarity)
  └── PostgreSQL FTS (tsvector & trigram matching)

Key Ingestion Highlights:

1. High-Speed PyMuPDF Parsing: Uses pymupdf (fitz) to extract text and layout coordinates up to 10x faster than traditional PDF parsers.
2. Native Table Recovery: Identifies tabular data using PyMuPDF's find_tables() API and converts it into structured Markdown tables so the LLM retains exact testing limits, tolerances, and parameter values.
3. Scanned Page OCR Fallback: If a page is a scanned document (common in older gazette notifications), it automatically invokes Tesseract OCR with bilingual support (lang="eng+hin").
4. Clause-Aware Segmentation: Rather than arbitrary character chunking, BISDocumentParser segments text by regulatory clauses (e.g., Clause 4.1, Clause 7.2.3), preventing fragmented rules.
5. Metadata Enrichment: Chunks are enriched with standard number, year, section title, page number, and mandatory QCO enforcement dates before vectorization.

Loading

Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF)

To ensure both exact standard codes (like IS 16046 (Part 2)) and conceptual queries (like "lithium battery drop test") are retrieved with 100% recall, we combine vector and keyword ranks:

$$\text{RRF Score}(d) = \sum_{m \in {\text{dense}, \text{sparse}}} \frac{1}{60 + r_m(d)}$$

Anti-Hallucination Citation Auditor

Before streaming tokens to the client, the response passes through a verification check that cross-references every cited clause against the retrieved evidence chunk. If a claim lacks supporting text, it is flagged or safely suppressed.
