RAG Pipelines

Hybrid retrieval with citations and drift detection — answers your auditors can read.

WHAT YOU GET

Hybrid index

Dense embeddings + BM25, fused with a learned reranker. Recall stays sane when the corpus grows.

Source-linked answers

Every claim cites its source span. Faithfulness + grounding evals run nightly.

Drift detection

Embedding distribution + retrieval-hit-rate are monitored. Alerts fire before answers degrade.

02 · Reference architecture

What we actually ship.

Every system we build follows this shape. Client at the edge, tools in a sandbox, traces everywhere, evaluators gating output. No black boxes, no "it works on my machine."

04 · Run

Watch an agent do the job.

Three real production scenarios, replayed at observed latency. Every box is a span; every span has tokens, cost, and an eval gate. This is what shows up in your traces, not a marketing animation.

Fixed-price, scoped to two weeks. We can share a rate sheet on request — the goal is that you leave with something concrete (architecture + spike) regardless of whether you continue with us.

START

Ship the first system.

Fixed-price discovery in 2 weeks. You leave with an architecture, a working spike, and a build plan.
