RAG Development in Perth
Retrieval-augmented generation for Perth organisations — answering questions from your own documents rather than from a model's general training. RAG is the right default for most business AI, and the part that determines whether it works is retrieval quality, not the model sitting behind it.
Why this comes up
The problem
The answers people need are in documents nobody can find. A general AI tool answers confidently from training data instead, which is worse than not answering at all.
What you get
What we deliver
- Documents ingested from where they actually live — SharePoint, Drive, a shared folder
- Chunking tuned to your content, since the default settings suit nobody in particular
- Retrieval evaluated on its own, before any answer generation is involved
- Answers with citations back to the source passage, so people can verify
- Permission filtering, so retrieval respects who is allowed to see what
- Logging of questions and retrieved passages, which is how quality improves

RAG Development in Perth — common questions
- Why do RAG systems give poor answers?
- Almost always retrieval, not the model. If the right passage was never fetched, no model can answer from it. Measuring retrieval separately — does the correct chunk appear in the top results — finds the problem far faster than changing prompts.
- How should documents be split?
- It depends on their shape. Contracts, manuals and email threads all behave differently, and fixed-size splitting cuts through the exact sentence that mattered. Chunking sounds like a detail and is one of the highest-leverage decisions in the build.
- Can it respect our permissions?
- Yes, and it must — retrieval should filter to what the person asking is entitled to see, at query time. A RAG system built without this becomes a very effective tool for reading documents you were not meant to read.
- Is RAG better than fine-tuning for company knowledge?
- For facts, yes, and it is not close. Updating a document is instant; retraining a model is not. Fine-tuning shapes how a model responds, retrieval determines what it knows — and company knowledge is a knowing problem.
- Do you work with businesses across Perth and Kinross?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Scotland, including Perth and the surrounding Perth and Kinross area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Perth businesses do you usually work with?
- Corporate systems with formal procurement on one side, and straightforward agricultural and retail tooling on the other. Beyond that we work across Insurance & Financial Services, Agriculture, Tourism, Energy and Retail.
- Do you cover the areas around Perth?
- Yes — we work throughout Scotland, including Dundee, Stirling, Dunfermline. Perth is an urban area of roughly 50,000+, and we take on work across the wider Perth and Kinross region rather than the city boundary alone.
