PlaybookKnowledge Systems

An enterprise playbook for RAG that actually retrieves the truth

A field-tested architecture for grounding LLMs in your own documents, contracts and tickets, with evaluation patterns you can run in production.

Start with the documents people already trust.

Foundation

High-performing RAG systems begin with source ownership. Contracts, SOPs, support tickets, and policy documents need clear freshness rules and review workflows before they enter a vector index.

Build the eval harness before the executive demo.

Evaluation

A useful RAG system needs repeatable tests for relevance, citation accuracy, refusal quality, and latency. Without this harness, teams cannot tell whether a model change improved retrieval or only sounded better.

  • Create golden questions from real user journeys.
  • Score citations separately from generated prose.
  • Track retrieval misses as product backlog, not model failure.

Make corrections flow back into the corpus.

Operations

Reviewer surfaces should capture wrong answers, missing sources, and stale documents. The system compounds when operations teams can repair knowledge without waiting for a full engineering cycle.
