BUILT AROUND YOUR BUSINESS

Where a private RAG assistant fits

Define the result you need from private rag knowledge assistant, then review it against real workflows.

Answers point back to sources

Users can open the approved passage that supports an answer instead of trusting generated prose alone.

Access follows the document

Retrieval filters preserve source permissions rather than exposing every indexed passage to every user.

Knowledge can be maintained

Refresh, deletion, version, and review controls keep the index tied to owned content.

WHAT WE BUILD

Retrieval, citations, and access-control scope

Choose the capabilities that fit your first release and the way your business works.

Knowledge inventory

Repositories, document owners, formats, versions, and permissions are mapped.

Retrieval pipeline

Parsing, chunking, metadata, indexing, filtering, and citation links are implemented.

Answer policy

Grounding, refusal, citation, and escalation behavior is explicit.

Evaluation and review

Representative questions assess retrieval quality, access boundaries, and unanswered behavior.

What warranty coverage and intellectual property guarantees are provided upon delivery?

Enterprise RAG Assistant (Grounded)

Upon final milestone completion, 100% of source code, repositories, and database schemas transfer entirely to you with zero recurring vendor per-seat licensing fees. Every project includes a 30-day comprehensive bug warranty covering critical defects.

ENGINEERING & HANDOVER

A Clear Plan from First Scope to Final Handover

Agree on the workflows, review points and release checks before implementation begins.

Access & Data Controls

Roles, authentication and data handling follow the agreed application scope.

Source-Code Ownership

Your repository and technical documentation are part of the delivery plan.

Testing & Release Checks

Review realistic scenarios, integrations and recovery paths before launch.

Milestone Delivery

Validate the work in planned phases with clear owners and acceptance criteria.

FIND THE RIGHT FIT

Why document chat can expose the wrong answer

Review the current problems and the people who need the system before selecting features.

Problems to Resolve

  • Content is indexed without preserving document or user access boundaries.
  • Old and current policies look equally authoritative after ingestion.
  • An answer sounds plausible but provides no passage a reviewer can verify.
  • Evaluation covers demo questions rather than ambiguous and unanswerable cases.

When Another Approach Fits Better

  • Training a public model on confidential documents.
  • A customer-support bot whose primary scope is channel conversation and handoff.
  • Answers without citations where the source must be auditable.
PLAN YOUR PROJECT

Make document access part of answer quality

Inventory the documents, owners and access rules before adding a conversational interface. Decide how revised material replaces older versions and how an answer points back to its source. The assistant should make missing or conflicting evidence visible to the person asking.

  • Which documents are approved for retrieval?
  • How are permissions and revisions maintained?
  • What should happen when evidence is missing?
Discuss Your Requirements

A Practical Example

A team member may ask a policy question that touches documents from two departments. The answer should use only permitted material and show the source context, while unresolved conflicts go to an appropriate owner.

What to Review Before Launch

Evaluate cited answers, access boundaries, outdated sources and unanswerable questions. Assign an owner for document updates and ongoing answer review.

First Release

Index an agreed set of approved documents and build a question-and-answer flow with source references. Review permissions, missing answers and document updates using representative questions.

A Later Phase

More repositories, richer retrieval controls and additional interfaces can follow after the initial knowledge set and evaluation process are established.

HOW IT WORKS

Knowledge assistant evaluation process

A transparent process with decisions and handover planned at each stage.

  1. 01

    Approve sources

    Identify authoritative documents, owners, permissions, and retention rules.

  2. 02

    Build retrieval

    Index content with source metadata, version signals, and access filters.

  3. 03

    Evaluate answers

    Test citations, conflicts, stale documents, denied content, and absent answers.

  4. 04

    Operate knowledge

    Provide refresh, removal, review, and feedback workflows.

THE WORKFLOW, THE DECISIONS, THE DELIVERY

Private RAG Knowledge Assistant: an implementation case study

See how a business requirement becomes a practical system, with a clear scope and checks your team can review.

Relay Workflow

Automate the routine. Keep people in control.

Relay Workflow concept: Receive & validate to Classify or retrieve to Human review to Sync & monitor
Illustrative interface and workflow. No client deployment or measured results are claimed.
01 / THE BUSINESS CHALLENGE

Start with the operational problem.

Operations staff copy enquiry details between tools and manually sort incoming documents. Exceptions need human judgement, but repetitive work should not hide the next action.

02 / THE CONNECTED WORKFLOW
  1. 01Receive & validate
  2. 02Classify or retrieve
  3. 03Human review
  4. 04Sync & monitor
03 / PROPOSED SCOPE

Build the right first release.

  • Event-driven workflow orchestration
  • Document retrieval with source references
  • Approval and exception queues
  • Execution history and retry controls
04 / ENGINEERING DECISIONS

Plan for the difficult cases.

Use scoped API credentials, deduplication keys and bounded retries. Retrieved answers cite approved documents; uncertain or sensitive actions route to a reviewer. Messaging requires approved templates and appropriate consent.

Release acceptance & measurement plan

Before launch, demonstrate that…

  • Replaying an event does not send a duplicate message.
  • An unsupported answer escalates instead of inventing a source.
  • A failed connector enters an actionable exception queue.

After launch, measure the change.

Track review corrections, failed executions and manual handling time; evaluate AI answers against an agreed reference set.

Targets, baseline, timeline and commercial scope are agreed during discovery.

Built for a clear international handover.

Agree working-hour overlap, written English updates, staging reviews, migration responsibilities and support scope. Confirm repository access, deployment documentation and ownership terms before work begins.

RAG assistant questions

Answers about scope, integrations, delivery and ownership.

Does RAG train a public model on our documents?

No. Retrieval supplies approved passages at answer time. Hosting, retention, and model-provider handling still need to be selected for your confidentiality requirements.

Can different teams see different documents?

Yes, when source permissions can be mapped to authenticated users or groups. The access filter is applied before passages reach the answer step.

What happens when the documents do not contain an answer?

The assistant follows an explicit unanswered or escalation path instead of filling the gap from general model knowledge.
