LlamaIndex Development in Glasgow
Building retrieval systems on LlamaIndex for Glasgow organisations, where the index is the product. A capable model given the wrong three paragraphs will answer confidently and wrongly, so how documents are split, enriched and ranked determines quality far more than which model sits at the end of the pipeline.
Why this comes up
The problem
The system retrieves passages that mention the right words and miss the passage that actually answers the question.
What you get
What we deliver
- Chunking designed around document structure rather than a fixed character count
- Metadata attached at ingestion so retrieval can filter as well as match
- Hybrid retrieval where keyword and semantic search each cover the other's gaps
- Reranking applied when the first pass returns plausible but unhelpful passages
- Source attribution returned, so answers can be checked against the document
- Ingestion built to re-run, because documents change and indexes go stale

Working in Glasgow
Scotland
Glasgow's engineering and renewables base gives it an industrial character quite unlike Edinburgh's, and Scottish clients should note that contracts here fall under Scots law, which we account for in engagement terms.
Engineering and renewables clients dominate, with a recurring need for monitoring and reporting across distributed sites.

LlamaIndex Development in Glasgow — common questions
- Why does chunking matter so much?
- Because it decides what can be retrieved together. Splitting on a character count cuts tables in half and separates a heading from the paragraph it governs, so the retrieved fragment lacks the context that made it meaningful in the document.
- What does metadata add?
- The ability to narrow before matching. Document type, date, department and status let a query about current policy exclude superseded versions entirely, which solves a class of wrong answer that no amount of better semantic matching will fix.
- Is semantic search enough on its own?
- Usually not. It handles paraphrasing well and struggles with exact terms — product codes, names, specific clauses — where keyword matching is precise. Running both and combining the results covers considerably more question types than either alone.
- How do we keep the index current?
- Treat ingestion as a pipeline that runs, not a task that was done. Source documents change, and an index built once will confidently answer from a version that was superseded months ago — with no signal to the user that it has done so.
- Do you work with businesses across Glasgow City?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Scotland, including Glasgow and the surrounding Glasgow City area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Glasgow businesses do you usually work with?
- Engineering and renewables clients dominate, with a recurring need for monitoring and reporting across distributed sites. Beyond that we work across Engineering, Financial Services, Life Sciences, Creative Industries and Renewables.
- Do you cover the areas around Glasgow?
- Yes — we work throughout Scotland, including Edinburgh. Glasgow is an urban area of roughly 1,000,000+, and we take on work across the wider Glasgow City region rather than the city boundary alone.
