Questions
Frequently asked
- How do you make institutional knowledge searchable without exposing confidential client material?
- By enforcing entitlement at retrieval rather than filtering afterwards. The retrieval layer evaluates the requesting user's access against document-level metadata before any content reaches a model or a result list. In a professional services context this also means respecting engagement-level confidentiality boundaries, not only organizational role.
