Document ingestion
Parsing, cleanup, chunking, metadata, versioning, and repeatable pipelines for the sources that matter.
SERVICE / 02 · Grounded answers · connected knowledge
We turn fragmented documents and domain knowledge into retrieval systems that answer with evidence, preserve context, and show where every important claim came from.
/01 — The system
A production RAG system is an information product, not a vector database with a chat box. The ingestion, retrieval, ranking, grounding, citation, evaluation, and update paths all need deliberate design.
Parsing, cleanup, chunking, metadata, versioning, and repeatable pipelines for the sources that matter.
Vector, keyword, metadata, reranking, and domain filters combined around the questions users actually ask.
Entity and relationship extraction into Neo4j or another graph layer for connected, multi-hop context.
Passage-level provenance, source previews, and answer structures that keep evidence visible.
Retrieval recall, grounding, citation accuracy, response quality, and regression datasets tracked over time.
Tenant, team, document, and field-level boundaries carried from storage through retrieval and response.
/02 — Delivery system
We start with representative documents and real questions. That keeps architecture choices tied to retrieval quality rather than to whichever database happens to be fashionable.
Inspect the corpus, permissions, update cycle, query types, and the evidence users need to see.
Prototype chunking, metadata, search, reranking, and graph enrichment against a test question set.
Design answer generation, citations, confidence behavior, and safe handling of missing evidence.
Ship with evaluations and traces so retrieval failures become diagnosable product work.
/03 — Questions
The useful constraints are usually about reliability, access, ownership, and operating the system—not whether a model can produce a convincing demo.
A graph helps when relationships, identity, hierarchy, chronology, or multi-hop reasoning are central to the questions. If those properties do not materially improve answers, we keep the system simpler.
Yes. Permission metadata and tenant boundaries can be enforced during retrieval so users never receive context from sources they are not allowed to access.
We test retrieval, grounding, citation correctness, completeness, and response usefulness separately. That makes it possible to identify whether a failure came from ingestion, search, ranking, context, or generation.
Usually. We first verify that it supports the required filters, scale, latency, and operational constraints, then improve the surrounding pipeline rather than replacing infrastructure without a reason.
