Solonomous RAG Engineering

Answers grounded in your own data

We build retrieval pipelines that survive a real corpus — layout-aware ingestion, semantic chunking, hybrid search, reranking, and continuous evaluation — so every answer is traceable to the document it came from.

Retrieval

Retrieval is where RAG succeeds or fails

Naive pipelines miss the right passage on a large share of real queries, and the model answers anyway — confidently, and wrong. We engineer the retrieval half properly, because generation can only ever be as good as what reaches it.

[01]

Ingestion that respects the document

Layout-aware parsing keeps tables, headings, and hierarchy intact through PDFs, decks, tickets, and wikis, so meaning survives the trip into the index.

[02]

Semantic chunking over fixed windows

Chunks follow the document’s own boundaries rather than a character count — in most corpora this is the single largest lever on retrieval accuracy.

[03]

Hybrid search, then rerank

Dense vector search and BM25 run in parallel and fuse with reciprocal rank fusion; a cross-encoder reranker then cuts a wide candidate set down to the few passages worth spending context on.

[04]

Citations by construction

Every generated claim carries the passage and source it came from, so a reviewer can check the answer instead of being asked to trust it.

Operations

Corpora move, and pipelines drift with them

Retrieval that worked at launch degrades quietly as documents are added, edited, and retired. The difference between a demo and a system is whether anybody finds out before a user does.

[01]

Evaluation on a golden set

Question-and-answer pairs drawn from your own corpus score retrieval hit rate, faithfulness, and answer relevance on every index, embedding, or prompt change.

[02]

Drift caught in the pipeline

Recall and groundedness are tracked per release, so a regression in chunking or a shift in the corpus shows up as a number rather than a support ticket.

[03]

Freshness without full reindexing

Incremental ingestion and change-data capture keep the index current as source systems move, with no nightly rebuild of everything you own.

[04]

Permissions carried through retrieval

Document-level access control is enforced at query time, so a user can only ever retrieve what they were already entitled to read.

ASML

Thirty years of engineering documents, finally searchable

Layout-aware ingestion pulled tables and annotations out of scanned specifications, and hybrid retrieval with reranking put the right drawing in front of engineers in seconds instead of an afternoon.
