Data & Knowledge Systems

Make what your company knows findable.

The answer is in a contract from 2019, a shift log, or the head of someone who retires in March. We build knowledge systems that find it, quote the source and respect who is allowed to see what.

  • Knowledge search (RAG)
  • Data readiness & pipelines
  • Evaluation & testing
  • Analytics & forecasting
  • Private & on-premise deployment

When it fits

You probably need this if any of these sound familiar.

What you get

Deliverables(6)

  1. (001)

    Knowledge search with citations

    Answers in plain language, each one linked to the paragraph it came from.

  2. (002)

    Permission-aware access

    The system only retrieves what the person asking is already allowed to open.

  3. (003)

    Data pipelines

    Documents and records cleaned, structured and kept in sync with the systems of record.

  4. (004)

    Blind-reviewed evaluation

    A question set written and scored by your own experts, so accuracy is a measured figure, not a feeling.

  5. (005)

    Private deployment

    Hosted in an EU region, in your own cloud tenancy or on your own servers, depending on your rules.

  6. (006)

    Usage analytics

    What people ask, what the system cannot answer yet, and where the documentation has holes.

Questions

Do we need to clean up our data first?

No. Finding out which data is good enough is the first phase of the work. Most clients are in better shape than they fear in two areas and worse in one.

Does our data train anyone’s model?

No. We deploy under terms that exclude training on your data, and for sensitive work we use models that run entirely inside your environment.

How accurate is it?

We agree a target with your experts before building and measure against it. On recent projects, between 88 and 94 percent of answers were judged correct with the right source in blind review.

What about documents in Hungarian, German or Czech?

Normal for us. Most of our collections are mixed-language and the evaluation sets are written in the languages your people actually use.
