Customer-selected sources
Define what can be indexed, who owns it and which approval or version signals affect retrieval.
Security, privacy and deployment
Trust starts with a clear architecture, not a blanket promise.
Deployment, model providers, access controls, retention and data flows are defined for the specific customer environment. We document those decisions before a production rollout.
Design principles
Make knowledge access deliberate and inspectable.
Exact controls depend on the selected systems and deployment approach. These are the principles we use during assessment and solution design—not claims of a one-size-fits-all architecture.
Access-aware design
Plan authentication and source permissions so the solution reflects who should see what.
Visible evidence
Show supporting sources and record useful operational events so answers can be reviewed.
Explicit data flow
Document where content is processed, which providers are involved and what is retained.
Risk-sensitive behavior
Design warnings, refusal behavior and escalation paths for weak, conflicting or high-risk evidence.
Lifecycle controls
Agree how sources are updated, backed up, removed and monitored as the knowledge changes.
What we clarify during assessment
The questions that shape a responsible deployment.
A technical proposal should accurately describe the chosen architecture, including any external model API.
1
Where will the solution run?
We compare customer-appropriate hosting and private deployment options against integration and support needs.
2
Which data leaves each boundary?
We map retrieval, model and logging flows rather than assuming that “private” means the same thing in every architecture.
3
Who can access sources and answers?
Identity, permissions and source visibility are designed around actual user groups and systems.
4
How will the system be reviewed?
Evidence visibility, evaluation questions, logging and operational ownership support ongoing improvement.
No unsupported guarantees
We do not claim universal answer correctness or certifications we do not possess.
The goal is to build an appropriate, testable system with transparent limitations. Exact security controls, providers and responsibilities are stated in the customer’s technical proposal.
Review your workflow, sources and deployment constraints together.
The knowledge assessment is where architecture and security requirements become concrete.
