Aethel通过图检索实现多跳金融尽调，精准定位分散的财务信息。

Secondary private equity transactions require rapid synthesis of fragmented, unstructured financial disclosures, where critical metrics and their entity anchors are distributed across disjoint documents with limited lexical overlap. We present Aethel, a reproducible framework that combines bipartite Personalized PageRank graph retrieval with a coreference-aware Bipartite Coreference Teleportation layer and an orchestrated specialist-agent architecture. Aethel models corpora as entity-passage graphs and propagates relevance through explicit relational paths to support multi-hop financial diligence. We evaluate the retrieval layer on 200-question samples from the MuSiQue and 2WikiMultiHopQA validation sets, comparing sparse lexical, dense bi-encoder, vanilla graph, and coreference-aware graph retrieval. Aethel achieves HR@5 of 100.0% on 2WikiMultiHopQA and 88.5% on MuSiQue, improving coverage over vanilla graph retrieval while trading off top-rank precision. We also evaluate retrieval over a 4,123-chunk corpus of financial disclosures and find that graph retrieval outperforms dense retrieval on multi-hop recall but does not surpass a strong BM25 baseline at open-corpus scale. The results show that graph-based retrieval offers interpretable multi-hop evidence paths and degrades more gracefully than dense retrieval as corpus size grows, while also demonstrating that its advantage depends strongly on corpus scale and entity-index quality. Code and evaluation artifacts are released for reproducibility.
