Citations connect answers to documents, sections, pages and versions so users can check support for a conclusion. A filename alone does not guarantee correctness.
Putting it into practice
Preserve provenance during extraction and indexing. Test opening the correct location and recheck access. Use headings or text spans when pagination is unavailable; do not invent pages.
Before you begin
- Document title
- Page and version
- Authorized original access
Capabilities and deployment require project-level confirmation. No unsupported certification, ROI or customer claims are made.
Frequently asked questions
Does data have to leave the network?
It depends on deployment and connected services. Map model, OCR, embedding, backup and log traffic before confirming the boundary.
Can an AI answer be trusted immediately?
Check the original, completeness and version, especially for legal, accounting and consequential decisions. Citations support review but do not guarantee accuracy.
How should a project begin?
Choose one defined use case, approved documents, owners and acceptance criteria. Test answer quality, permissions and cost with a small group before scaling.
