Primary Root Cause Diagnosis:

Financial Table Parsing Degradation & SEC Crawler Throttling:
Target domains (sec.gov) enforce strict rate-limits and dynamic JavaScript bot barriers. The multi-hop crawler timed out during table extraction, falling back to parametric memory which fabricated segment splits.

3. Citation Verification Matrix

Audit of retrieved search domains, bot access validity, and hallucination probability.

Recommended Fallback Strategy:

Force direct EDGAR accession number injection, bypass generic web search, and restrict context to structured XML segment tables.

4. Remediated Prompt Wrapper (Grounding Fix)

Constrained prompt schema engineered to prevent citation drift and bypass retrieval decay.

[Focus: Financial Filing Parsing]
Act as a rigorous financial analyst. Using solely verified 10-Q/10-K filings from EDGAR:
1. Extract NVIDIA and AMD Q3 2024 Data Center vs Gaming segment revenue in a markdown table.
2. For each numeric figure, provide the exact sentence excerpt from the filing.
3. If exact segment data is ambiguous, state 'Unverified in Source' rather than estimating.
