LlamaIndex Consulting in Cardiff
Retrieval advice for Cardiff organisations, beginning with the artefact most projects skip. Before building anything you need a set of real questions with known correct answers — because without it, every subsequent decision about chunking, embedding and ranking is settled by whoever tried the most convincing example.
Why this comes up
The problem
Two approaches were compared by asking each a few questions, and the team picked the one that felt better that afternoon.
What you get
What we deliver
- An evaluation set of genuine questions with verified answers and sources
- Retrieval measured against it, so improvements are demonstrated not asserted
- Document corpus assessed for what is actually answerable from it
- Architecture chosen against your document types and question patterns
- Cost and latency modelled at expected volume before building
- A view on where retrieval will not help and something else is needed

Working in Cardiff
Wales
Cardiff has a significant broadcast and media sector alongside a large public-sector presence, and Welsh-language provision is a genuine requirement on public-facing work here rather than a nice-to-have.
Public sector and broadcast work is common, and bilingual provision is usually a requirement rather than an option.

LlamaIndex Consulting in Cardiff — common questions
- Why build an evaluation set first?
- Because it is the only way to know whether a change helped. Retrieval improvements are frequently trade-offs — better on one question type, worse on another — and hand-testing a few examples systematically favours whatever the tester happened to try.
- How many questions do we need?
- Fewer than people assume, provided they are representative. Fifty real questions covering the range users actually ask, with correct answers and the source that contains them, is enough to detect meaningful differences between approaches.
- What if the answer is not in the documents?
- Then no retrieval system will find it, and the honest finding is that the corpus is the problem. Organisations frequently discover the knowledge people ask for lives in individuals rather than documents, which is a different project entirely.
- When is retrieval the wrong approach?
- When questions need aggregation or reasoning across many documents rather than finding the right passage. Counting, comparing and trend questions are poorly served by retrieval, and pointing that out early avoids a system that disappoints on exactly those.
- Do you work with businesses across Cardiff?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Wales, including Cardiff and the surrounding Cardiff area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Cardiff businesses do you usually work with?
- Public sector and broadcast work is common, and bilingual provision is usually a requirement rather than an option. Beyond that we work across Media & Broadcasting, Financial Services, Public Sector, Higher Education and Sport.
- Do you cover the areas around Cardiff?
- Yes — we work throughout Wales, including Bristol, Swansea. Cardiff is an urban area of roughly 490,000+, and we take on work across the wider Cardiff region rather than the city boundary alone.
