AI does the heavy lifting, people stay in charge
Use AI to interpret permitted inputs, suggest structured mappings and generate candidate answers for the stated task modules. Use deterministic code for arithmetic, schema validation, access rules and reproducible tests. Review source-linked explanations and confidence scores before accepting results. One approved data scope and access model; final data classification and release decisions remain with the data owner. A model suggestion is never a verified fact, professional decision or authorization to act.
What your team sees
Primary screens: Data sources and index status, Search and answer workspace, Stewardship and analytics. Use a source list with sync state, a central query and answer view with citations, and a right-hand panel for filters, confidence and review notes. Let users compare retrieved passages side by side. Display draft, changes requested and approved states. Provide a shareable answer link with comments anchored to the cited passage. Make the task-specific outcome reviewed, source-linked answers and a maintained index visible beside its evidence, review state and value baseline.
Accounts and administration
Project ownership, source versions, access boundaries, approval states, usage allowances, query limits, download history and a rights record for supplied material. Add organization access boundaries, named reviewers, usage caps, data retention controls, export logs and explicit approval for external actions.
Integrations and data access
Customer-owned storage, document systems and permitted data sources. Object storage, vector indexes, model gateways, worker runtimes and data management APIs. Start with file exchange and validate destination specifications before promising direct publishing. Start with authorized file exchange. Validate current provider access, usage rights and schema behavior before promising a connector.
How we build it
We build with our own AI software development factory, so most implementations take days to a few weeks of creation time, not months. You see working software at every step, and exact timing depends on availability.

Why we start with an MVP
An MVP, or minimum viable product, is the smallest version that your users can actually work with. It is not a cheap version of the full solution. It is a test, built to answer the questions that decide whether the rest is worth building.
- Pick the riskiest assumption. Here: will teams running AI search and retrieval over their own documents and records use it to solve "search and retrieval over internal data is split across rented tools, so indexes, filters, pipelines and answers live in separate places with unclear data ownership"?
- Build only what tests it. One team, one use case, a few core modules. People do the rest by hand for now.
- Run a paid pilot. Agree quality and outcome thresholds before the pilot using this measure: Accepted answers per reviewer hour and retrieval errors found after release.
- Measure, then decide. Track accepted answers per reviewer hour and retrieval errors found after release; accepted-output rate; material error rate; reviewer correction time; actual repeat purchase. Then expand, change course or stop, with evidence instead of opinions.
MVP scope for this solution. Pilot scope: One approved data scope and access model; final data classification and release decisions remain with the data owner. Implement one approved input format, a bounded representative case set and the first two task modules: search by intent beyond keyword matching; index large data volumes with near real-time updates. Support the remaining modules with operator review: ingest and refresh data automatically from connected storage; apply customizable filters to tailor results. Include source references, corrections, basic organization access, approval states, export and value measurement. Use managed operator assistance for unresolved exceptions. The cost estimate covers this narrow prototype, not unrestricted multi-tenant scale, complex production integrations, specialist certification or physical operations.
After the MVP. Once paid pilots prove usefulness, automate repeatable reviewed steps and add one verified source integration. Expand supported inputs and case volume only after new evaluation cases pass. Build reusable customer configurations and recurring value reports around reviewed, source-linked answers and a maintained index. Retain the explicit scope boundary: One approved data scope and access model; final data classification and release decisions remain with the data owner.
What the build depends on. Source upload and preview, asynchronous indexing jobs, editable version history, reviewer access and tested export formats. High-fidelity retrieval requires specialist data QA. Obtain representative authorized cases, baseline measurements, qualified reviewers and a buyer-side decision owner. Specific limitation: One approved data scope and access model; final data classification and release decisions remain with the data owner.

Selling it to your own clients: the go-to-market playbook
Pricing to test
Test a USD 300-1,500 fixed pilot for one defined data scope. Offer a monthly retrieval allowance after repeat demand. Quote complex multi-source or private-cloud deployments separately. These are test prices, not market benchmarks. Package the initial sale as one bounded reviewed, source-linked answers and a maintained index. Recurring fees must specify volume, review depth and integration support. For exchanges, test a disclosed coordination or successful-service fee rather than holding customer funds. Reprice only after measuring real delivery labor; platform-build cost is separate from a commercial pilot fee.
Message to test
Run contextual search, indexing and retrieval-augmented answers over your own data in one owned console. Demonstrate a concrete reviewed, source-linked answers and a maintained index using the buyer's approved example and show the baseline, corrections and actual delivery effort.
Where to find buyers
Teams running AI search and retrieval over their own documents and records professional communities; specialist consultants serving this buyer; permissioned partner introductions; practical demonstrations at relevant trade or practitioner events.
Lead magnet
A reviewed sample reviewed, source-linked answers and a maintained index from a small authorized input set, with a transparent calculation of accepted answers per reviewer hour and retrieval errors found after release and no promised savings.
The first 30 days
- Week 1: interview five teams running AI search and retrieval over their own documents and records and inspect a recent example of search and retrieval over internal data is split across rented tools, so indexes, filters, pipelines and answers live in separate places with unclear data ownership.
- Week 2: prepare a consented or synthetic demonstration of the three task modules.
- Week 3: seek one bounded paid pilot with agreed baseline and acceptance criteria.
- Week 4: measure accepted answers per reviewer hour and retrieval errors found after release, reviewer effort and repeat-purchase interest. This is a demand-validation plan, not a thirty-day full-product delivery promise.
Paid pilot
Agree quality and outcome thresholds before the pilot using this measure: Accepted answers per reviewer hour and retrieval errors found after release. Continue only if the buyer accepts the actual output, the intended job outcome improves without unacceptable errors, and measured delivery cost fits willingness to pay. Revise or stop if access is unavailable, qualified review cannot be provided, or apparent savings disappear after corrections and support. Use held-out cases when comparing model quality; use a properly reviewed comparison design before making causal claims. Record missing cases and negative results alongside successful outputs.
Success metrics
Accepted answers per reviewer hour and retrieval errors found after release; accepted-output rate; material error rate; reviewer correction time; actual repeat purchase.
Retention and expansion
Repeat the workflow when the buyer again needs reviewed, source-linked answers and a maintained index. Retain permissioned settings and reviewed examples, report realized value honestly, and sell increased volume or adjacent approved workflows only after contribution margin and quality remain acceptable.
Why clients would pick it
A reusable library of approved data scopes, access rules and review examples, together with reliable delivery for a narrow retrieval niche. Build a permissioned library of representative task cases, reviewer corrections and verified operating constraints for teams running AI search and retrieval over their own documents and records. Repeatable delivery and useful integrations matter more than access to a base model.
Alternatives and positioning
LiquidIndex 2.0, Cloudflare AutoRAG and LLMWare, plus internal scripts and generic search tools. Compare this product with the buyer's present method on accepted answers per reviewer hour and retrieval errors found after release. Offer a bounded paid workflow instead of claiming broad autonomous expertise. Market uniqueness and competitor coverage are not verified.
Main delivery costs
Indexing compute, model inference, storage, reviewer hours, client revision rounds and licensed source data. Additional initial validation requires representative authorized sample preparation, buyer interviews, buyer-side evaluation and bounded validation of reviewed, source-linked answers and a maintained index. Track cost per accepted output, including correction work, unsuccessful cases and support.
Safeguards
Preserve data ownership, source attribution, access boundaries and usage permissions. Data owners approve substantive changes and release scope. One approved data scope and access model; final data classification and release decisions remain with the data owner. Keep all consequential actions under authorized human control and do not fabricate missing inputs, permissions, professional judgments or market evidence.
