02 / THE DELIVERABLES
What goes into the application
The scope depends on your users, content, and integration requirements. A typical build can include:
- A use-case definition, source inventory, and evaluation questions based on representative user needs.
- Document ingestion, retrieval, and indexing configured for the agreed content and access model.
- Model integration, prompts, response formatting, and a user interface or application API.
- Evaluation findings, operating-cost considerations, deployment documentation, and content-update guidance.
A focused path to deployment
We begin with the user task and review the content available to support it. A focused prototype compares retrieval and model choices against representative questions, including questions the system should decline to answer.
We then integrate the application and review response usefulness, source attribution, latency, and operating cost. The rollout includes feedback paths and a process for updating documents. Model or prompt changes should be re-evaluated against the same reference questions.
Privacy and answer quality by design
We agree which content can be processed, how access is enforced, and which deployment options fit your requirements. RAG can make answers easier to verify, but it does not eliminate incorrect output. Source links, uncertainty handling, and human review remain part of the experience where the task requires them.
