Model Sourcing and Knowledge Grounding
Whose model, hosted where, grounded on what.
Hosting is the smallest of three levers. Routing and retrieval quality move cost more, and retrieval permissions move risk more. We help you set all three.
Scope
The Decisions We Help You Make
API, your cloud tenancy, or self-hosted
Self-hosting is a utilization question, not a price question. We model the break-even on your volumes, including the staffing most spreadsheets leave out.
Retrieval or fine-tuning
Retrieval is for knowledge. Fine-tuning is for behavior. Most "teach it our business" requests are retrieval problems.
How to build a knowledge store that does not leak
Access metadata captured at indexing and enforced inside the query, so permissions survive the trip into a vector store.
Which model for which task
A routing policy with evaluation sets, so you can swap models without breaking quality.
