The Enterprise RAG Implementation Playbook.
Forty-something pages on what it takes to ship production RAG at enterprise scale — architecture, evals, vector database choice, citation enforcement, compliance plumbing, and the eval-readiness checklist we run on every engagement.
- Written by senior engineers who have shipped RAG to Tier-1 banks, insurers, and government.
- No vendor pitch. The playbook recommends Qdrant, pgvector, and Pinecone in different sections.
- Eval-readiness checklist (page 18) is what you'll actually cite back to your team.
