- Engagement
- Fixed scope

- Yours
Retrieval quality decides answer quality, and most RAG projects fail at chunking and ranking rather than at the model. We spend the effort where it pays: document parsing, chunk boundaries, hybrid search and reranking.
Every answer carries citations back to the source passage, so a reviewer can verify it in one click — the difference between a system people trust and one they quietly stop using.
What you get
- Ingestion for PDF, Office, HTML, Confluence and ticket exports
- Hybrid keyword plus vector search with reranking
- Citations to the exact source passage on every answer
- Permission-aware retrieval: users only see what they may see
- Answer quality measured against a labelled question set
