Knowledge Starter · Knowledge Engine Pilot

The answers are already in your documents.
Now your team can just ask.

In 3 weeks, we set up an Adaptive Knowledge Agent built from your documents. Your team asks questions in plain English, every answer shows its source and it can get better with every conversation. Your team decides what to keep.

How it works

Your knowledge, structured once.
Answering questions every day.

Most tools let you search your documents. This goes further. Your team asks questions in plain English and gets accurate answers that show exactly where they came from.

01
We read everything. Then we write.

Before anything goes live, we work through all of your documents. We resolve contradictions, flag gaps and connect related ideas. The result is one organized knowledge base written from your own material, not a pile of indexed files. Your team gets answers that reflect the full picture, not just the closest match.

Organized knowledgeContradictions resolvedGaps flagged up front
02
Ask anything. Get answers with proof.

Your team asks questions in plain language. Every answer shows the source passages behind it. If the answer isn’t in your documents, the agent says so instead of guessing.

Plain-language Q&ASource citations includedNo guesswork
03
The agent grows with your team.

When a question turns up something worth keeping, you can approve adding it to the knowledge base, so the next answer on that topic is better. Your company's knowledge builds up over time instead of walking out the door when people leave.

Who this is for
Professional services firms

Law, accounting, consulting, recruiting — your team searches the same contracts, policies, SOPs and research manually dozens of times a week. With all of it in one knowledge base, your team gets a sourced answer in seconds instead of minutes of digging.

RIAs and financial advisors

Compliance policies, investment memos, client correspondence, regulatory filings — the Knowledge Starter pilot proves the value on your actual documents before any larger commitment. The knowledge base keeps improving as your team uses it.

Compliance-driven organizations

HR policy Q&A, employee handbook search, audit preparation — your team needs accurate answers with citations, not summaries they're not sure they can trust. Because we review every document up front, contradictions and gaps get caught before your team runs into them.

Teams with 25–50 key documents

Knowledge Starter is deliberately limited to one use case and one subject area. If you have more documents or several subject areas, the full Knowledge Engine is the right starting point.

What's included

An Adaptive Knowledge Agent
deployed in 3 weeks.

Not a prototype. A tested system your team can use from day one, with an accuracy level agreed up front.

01
Document review — we read your documents and organize what they say

Before anything goes live, we work through every document. Overlaps are combined, contradictions resolved and the knowledge organized into clear entries, which your agent draws on for every answer. Supported source formats: PDF, DOCX, TXT, MD. Document preparation guidance provided during discovery.

Up to 50 source documentsEvery document reviewedOrganized for accurate answersPDF · DOCX · TXT · MD
02
Scoped to one use case — focused, fast and trustworthy

Knowledge Starter is deliberately focused: one subject area, one set of documents. That focus is what makes the accuracy high and the delivery fast. If you need several subject areas, that’s the full Knowledge Engine.

Single use caseHighly accurate answersFocused delivery
03
Conversational Q&A with source citations

Your team asks questions in plain language through a simple chat interface. Every answer includes citations — the exact source passages behind the response. Embedded directly in your intranet, client portal or internal tool of choice.

04
The agent can improve with every conversation

When a conversation turns up something worth keeping, it can be added to the knowledge base with your approval, improving the next similar answer. During the pilot, you see how this builds up before committing to the full build.

05
Accuracy testing before delivery

We run a structured set of test questions against the knowledge base before handoff. If accuracy falls below the agreed threshold, we resolve it before the engagement closes. You receive a tested, validated system.

Any engagement can also be built to your own scope, starting at $10,000. We begin with discovery, then agree the output and the price in writing before any work starts. It's never an open-ended hourly bill. The terms match the packaged build: fixed price, a person approves every change and you own everything we build.
