    • NOTE: Addleshaw Goddard’s report on optimizing LLMs for M&A legal due diligence outlines a highly detailed methodology for boosting model performance through specific configurations and techniques. The strategies applied include the following:
      1. Chunking Strategy: The document was segmented into 3,500-character chunks with a 700-character overlap, ensuring critical content is not missed during the review.
      2. Hybrid Retrieval Method: This approach combined advanced keyword and vector search to enhance the precision of information retrieval.
      3. Provision-Specific Queries: Each provision in the document was addressed using customized Advanced Keywords and Vector Search Queries.
      4. Top 10 Chunk Retrieval: The model was fed with the top 10 document chunks, maintaining the order of appearance.
      5. Use of GPT-4 32K: The 32K context size allowed for broader context assimilation.
      6. Model Parameters: The model used a temperature setting of 0, a maximum token limit of 2,000, and a consistent seed value to ensure repeatability.
      7. System Prompts: Specific system prompts were crafted to minimize unnecessary context length while ensuring clarity of instructions.
      8. Targeted Prompts for Provisions: Provision-specific prompts directed the LLM to focus on key aspects of the legal text.
      9. Follow-Up Prompts: Designed to hold the LLM accountable by asking it to reevaluate missed information, enhancing overall recall and response quality.
