 ated enormous volumes of unstructured product data that most businesses st
 ruggle to turn into actionable intelligence. This study presents an intell
 igent analytics platform that combines Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG
 ) with Claude Opus 4.6 to generate structured business insights from a cor
 pus of 200,000 Amazon Electronics product records. A multi-layered pipelin
 e transforms raw product metadata into semantically rich text chunks, enco
 des them using BGE-M3 sentence embeddings, and stores the resulting 200,00
 0 vectors in a ChromaDB persistent vector store. At query time, the platfo
 rm retrieves the most contextually relevant product records, reranks them 
 by semantic similarity, and feeds them to Claude Opus 4.6, which synthesiz
 es the retrieved evidence into coherent, data-grounded analytical narrativ
 es complete with business recommendations. The platform is built with prod
 uction deployment in mind, with MLflow tracking every experiment for full 
 reproducibility, Docker containerizing the entire application stack, and G
 itHub Actions automating the continuous integration and delivery pipeline.
  An interactive Streamlit dashboard brings all capabilities together in a 
 user-friendly interface requiring no technical expertise. Evaluation acros
 s eight quantitative metrics confirms the quality of the system's outputs,
  achieving a ROUGE-1 score of 0.4121, a ROUGE-L score of 0.4121, and a BER
 TScore F1 of 0.9131, indicating strong lexical precision and exceptional s
 emantic alignment with human-authored reference insights. A faithfulness s
 core of 0.5567 demonstrates that generated content is reliably grounded in
  retrieved evidence. All sixteen automated unit tests pass, confirming the
  robustness of every system component. For further information, please co
