@Vrtulniky I’m still learning myself, I think it will just take more exposure. Seems like they overlap quite a bit but this is my understanding of the nuance based on the sources below and asking a native as well:

いきさつ - reason why it got there or order of events (how and the whole story), feels a bit more personal in usage

けいい - more likely in academic/business/medical/science settings (literal formula), directional based, nuance can change depending on context a bit more, reason for a certain result

I just skimmed the sources looking for differences, there may be more.
