All services

Retrieval is only as good as what you indexed.

Most retrieval problems are data problems wearing a costume. The documents arrive in six formats, the same entity is spelled four ways, and nothing carries the metadata a filter would need. We build the ingestion and preparation layer underneath: connectors, normalization, deduplication, chunking that respects document structure, and an index that can be rebuilt without a migration.

01 / DATA

Ingestion and preparation, for data that is not retrieval-ready.

For data that is not retrieval-ready. Connectors, normalization, chunking and indexing: the work that decides whether retrieval finds anything worth citing.

Usually shipped with

  • RAG systems
  • Document extraction
  • Cloud and DevOps

Not a bundle to buy. Whichever you start from, the engagement covers what the build actually needs.

02 / Scope

What we build.

  • Connectors for the systems your content actually lives in
  • Normalization and deduplication across inconsistent sources
  • Metadata extraction, so retrieval can filter and not only match
  • Chunking that respects document structure rather than character counts
  • Incremental reindexing, so a change does not mean a rebuild

03 / Outcomes

What you can ship.

  • A corpus that retrieval can actually work against
  • Freshness without a full reindex
  • Source lineage carried through to the answer

04 / Deliverables

Artefacts, not activities.

  • The ingestion pipelineConnectors, normalization and deduplication, running against your sources.
  • A structured indexChunked to document structure, with metadata that supports filtering.
  • Incremental reindexingChange-level updates, so freshness does not require a rebuild.

06 / Why us

Lineage survives the pipeline

On DocVerse every extracted metric traces to the page it came from, which only works if the ingestion layer carries provenance from the first step. Bolted on later, it cannot be recovered.

Chunking fitted to the documents

Splitting a table across two chunks makes both useless. We chunk to structure, which is slower to build and the reason retrieval finds anything.

Incremental by default

On FinSight, custodian feeds arrive continuously. A pipeline that requires a full rebuild to absorb one change is a pipeline that runs monthly and is always stale.

A path from your problem to production.

  1. Week 1

    Look at the actual documents

    Formats, inconsistencies and the metadata that is missing. Retrieval problems are usually data problems, and this is where that becomes obvious.

  2. Week 1-3

    Build the ingestion path

    Connectors to where content really lives, with normalization and deduplication across sources that disagree.

  3. Week 2-4

    Chunk to the structure

    Boundaries that respect sections, tables and clauses rather than character counts, so a retrieved passage is still intelligible.

  4. Week 4-6

    Make it incremental

    Reindexing a change rather than the corpus, so freshness does not mean a rebuild.

Bad rows get quarantined, not dropped.

Sources arrive by batch, change data capture or stream, and a quality gate checks schema, nulls and duplicates before anything downstream sees them. Rows that fail are held for inspection rather than discarded, because silently dropping them is how a corpus quietly stops matching the business, with no way to explain the gap later. A classify pass marks what is sensitive before transformation, lineage records where every row came from, a backfill path reprocesses history when a rule changes, and staleness raises an alarm instead of passing as fresh.

Production-proven

Built by engineers who've already shipped this in production.

The questions buyers actually ask.

Our documents are a mess. Is that a problem?

It is the normal starting condition and most of the work. Six formats and four spellings of the same entity is what the pipeline exists to absorb.

Do we need to move our data?

No. Connectors read from where content already lives; we would rather not add a migration to the project.

How fresh can the index be?

Near real time where the source supports it. Incremental reindexing is built in from the start, because retrofitting it means a rebuild.

Is this separate from the RAG work?

Usually the same engagement. Splitting them is how teams end up with good retrieval over a corpus nothing can find anything in.
