// Architecture story
A knowledge assistant with citations
A distributed team needed answers grounded in internal documentation.
// The brief
Make the next release easier to trust
Problem
A distributed team needed answers grounded in internal documentation.
Architecture
Ingestion pipeline → hybrid retrieval → answer synthesis → citation and quality checks.
// Implementation
A measured path from constraint to system
01
Clarify the boundary
Map the workflow, ownership and failure modes before choosing infrastructure.
02
Build the smallest seam
Keep interfaces typed, observable and easy to evolve as evidence arrives.
03
Prove the outcome
Instrument quality and delivery so the next decision is based on real system behavior.
// Stack and outcome
Transparent by design
