Enterprise Knowledge & Internal Q&A
Knowledge Fabric
Turning documents, policies, project material and system data into enterprise capability that can be searched, cited and kept current.
What this is
An organisation’s most valuable knowledge is usually scattered across documents, mail, group chats and individual experience. A knowledge base is worth building not because things become findable, but because answers carry provenance, permissions are actually enforced, and content keeps up with the organisation.
The problem
Keyword search misses semantically close phrasing; pure vector retrieval readily returns passages that are related but not correct. Worse, an answer without provenance cannot be trusted inside an organisation — and no one can trace where it came from.
Core capabilities
- 01
Document parsing
Handles structurally awkward contracts, policies, tables and scans while preserving structure.
- 02
Hybrid retrieval
Vector and keyword retrieval combined, covering both near-synonyms and exact terminology.
- 03
Citation and provenance
Every answer names its source document and location, so it can be verified against its origin.
- 04
Permission management
Results are filtered by the requesting user’s permissions; different roles see different scopes.
- 05
Continuous refresh
The base is cleaned and extended continuously rather than loaded once and left.
How it works
- 01
Ingest
Connect document stores, business systems and existing repositories.
- 02
Structure
Parse and chunk while preserving heading hierarchy and table structure.
- 03
Index
Build vector and keyword indexes together, carrying permission labels.
- 04
Answer
Retrieve within permission, then generate an answer with citations.
- 05
Feed back
Misses and corrections return to the pipeline to extend and clean the base.

Use cases
- 01
Policy Q&A
Staff ask about policy, process and entitlement directly, and get cited answers.
- 02
Sales and pre-sales
Pulls product capability, references and pricing rationale quickly.
- 03
Onboarding
Turns scattered project experience into a searchable organisational asset.
Enterprise system connections
- Document and file storage
- Internal wiki / OA
- CRM and ticket history
- Data warehouse
- Identity and permission systems
Data, permission and deployment
Permissions are enforced at the retrieval layer, not masked at the presentation layer. Private deployment keeps data in place, and sensitive documents can carry their own access policy and retention period.
What is open today
Delivered as an enterprise engagement. The usual path is a narrow pilot on one department’s real material, expanding once retrieval quality is confirmed.
