-
We work with Pinecone (managed, lowest latency), Weaviate (open-source, hybrid search), Chroma (lightweight, local development), Qdrant (high performance, filtering) and pgvector (PostgreSQL extension, zero additional infrastructure). Choice depends on scale, latency requirements and existing infrastructure.
-
We implement source attribution (every answer cites its source documents), confidence scoring (low-confidence answers flagged for human review), chunk quality optimization (better chunking = better retrieval), reranking (cross-encoder models filter irrelevant results) and guardrails (factual consistency checks against source material).
-
A RAG MVP with 10,000 documents costs $40,000-$60,000 and takes 8-12 weeks. Enterprise RAG with 1M+ documents, multi-source ingestion and real-time updates ranges from $80,000-$150,000.
Ongoing costs: vector DB hosting ($50-500/month) plus LLM inference ($100-2,000/month depending on query volume).
-
A production-ready RAG system typically takes 6 to 12 weeks to build depending on the volume and variety of your data sources. The timeline includes data pipeline setup, embedding generation, vector database configuration, retrieval tuning and evaluation testing.
-
We work with Pinecone, Weaviate, Qdrant, pgvector and ChromaDB depending on scale and hosting requirements. For enterprise deployments we typically recommend Pinecone or Qdrant for their sub-50ms query performance at millions of vectors.
Each project includes chunking strategy optimization and hybrid search with both semantic and keyword retrieval.
