The interpretation phase of life cycle assessment often lacks structured mechanisms for translating quantified improvement opportunities addressing environmental hotspots into actionable strategic pathways under technological, social, and policy uncertainty. To overcome this limitation, this study introduces a perspective-conditioned retrieval-augmented generation framework for LCA interpretation, where a multi-perspective retrieval and controlled synthesis is incorporated in the artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted LCA.
