Start with one defined need and a collection of relevant documents. Evaluate the experience against real questions before adding more users or content.
One valuable workflow. Clear quality standards.

Research reports and internal documents can hold answers that are hard to find. Use Haystack Enterprise Platform to build search and question-answering around a defined research collection. Start with one team and test the results against real questions.
An AI answer is a starting point for review. Build a research assistant that retrieves relevant content and shows supporting references with Haystack Enterprise Platform, so your team can inspect the evidence behind a response.
Your research workflow has its own data and infrastructure requirements. Haystack Enterprise Platform offers self-hosted and air-gapped deployment options. Assess the complete application, including its connected models and services, against your requirements.
Connect retrieval to a defined task. Show supporting references so your team can inspect what a response is based on. References help review; they do not guarantee correctness.
Choose the documents, users and task boundaries for this application.
Inspect responses and evidence against the standards your team sets.
Test representative examples and failure cases before wider use.

Configure models and deployment for your application. Review the full data flow and connected services against your requirements. Deployment choice alone does not establish compliance.
Assess authentication, document access and service integrations.
Evaluate supported models against the outputs your team needs.
Review hosting, model calls and data flows against your infrastructure requirements.

Compare configurations on the same task using shared acceptance criteria. Assess quality, usage, retries and total operating cost before expanding.
Use the same questions and acceptance criteria for every configuration.
Include retrieval, model usage, retries, review and infrastructure costs.
Choose a configuration when it meets the quality standards for the task.
