The outcome

Answer questions from controlled source material with traceable evidence and known retrieval limits.

Step by step

A workflow you can repeat.

  1. 01

    Define the audience, questions, source owners, update schedule, access rules, and a small benchmark with expected citations.

  2. 02

    Create a Knowledge base, upload clean authoritative files, remove duplicates and secrets, and organize content by stable topic boundaries.

  3. 03

    Use Focused Retrieval for large collections or Full Context for short always-relevant documents, then attach the base to the intended model.

  4. 04

    Run the benchmark and inspect cited passages, missed evidence, contradictory sources, context limits, and unsupported claims.

  5. 05

    Tune retrieval and source structure one variable at a time, restrict sharing, and schedule source refreshes and regression tests.

Working standard

What good use looks like.

  • Start with authoritative sources.
  • Evaluate retrieval separately from writing quality.
  • Require citations for consequential answers.
