CASE 03 · Solution pattern 03

AI enterprise knowledge and RAG system

Enterprise knowledge becomes discoverable, role-aware and usable with source context.

Challenge

Policies and specialist knowledge are dispersed, while an AI system must not receive unchecked access to all content.

Starting point

Knowledge domains, owners, approval state, currency and sensitivity are mapped.

Solution

A RAG system retrieves relevant approved passages for a request.

Human-in-the-Loop

Business owners approve sources, maintain validity and review consequential statements.

Data protection

Only necessary approved content is included; access and protection follow the actual information estate.

Outcome

The pattern shows traceable knowledge delivery; quality and coverage would be validated with representative questions.

Further development

New knowledge domains can be added once ownership is clear.

Process

  1. select sources
  2. structure content
  3. implement access
  4. connect queries with passages
  5. provide source context
  6. surface uncertainty
  7. incorporate feedback under control
