RAG beyond the search demo

Retrieval, not search

RAG works when retrieval is right. Vector search is only the first step; reranking and permission filtering are the difference between a correct answer and a dangerous one.

Access at document level

Each user should be answered only from sources they are allowed to see. That rule belongs in the retrieval layer, not in the prompt.

Citations are mandatory

Every answer should point at its source document. It is the only way to measure correctness, and the only way an enterprise user will trust it.
