NeoBramPlan an AI project
    Source-grounded industrial knowledge

    Answers your team can trace back to controlled evidence.

    Build private knowledge assistants for procedures, equipment, quality and project records with permissions, citations, evaluation and human escalation.

    • Controlled sources and permissions
    • Retrieval and answer evaluation
    • Offline and private options
    • Human escalation and operating handover
    Industrial knowledge documents connected to a source-grounded AI assistant

    Capability first. Model and vendor selection follow the data boundary, evaluation and operating responsibility.

    Direct answer

    An industrial RAG system retrieves approved evidence from the user's permitted corpus and uses that evidence to support an answer or draft. It should preserve document identity, revision, status, source links and permissions; show uncertainty; and abstain or escalate when evidence is insufficient. RAG improves reviewability but cannot guarantee correctness, so retrieval and answer support must be evaluated separately.

    Industrial decision library

    Start from the decision, evidence and failure condition.

    Factory-floor knowledge assistant

    Decision
    Which approved procedure or past event should a worker review for this situation?
    Minimum useful evidence
    Controlled SOPs, manuals, work instructions, issue history, revisions, owners and permissions.
    Acceptance
    Correct source retrieval, supported answer, visible citation, safe escalation and usable response time.
    Can fail when
    Documents conflict, obsolete records are returned, permissions leak or generated steps exceed the source.

    Engineering evidence search

    Decision
    Which current drawing, specification, comment or requirement supports this project question?
    Minimum useful evidence
    Project, discipline, package, tag, document type, revision, status, date and precedence metadata.
    Acceptance
    Source precision, missed-item rate, permission enforcement and reviewer usefulness by document class.
    Can fail when
    Cross-project records mix, superseded revisions rank higher or similarity is mistaken for compliance.

    Quality investigation support

    Decision
    Which controlled records and comparable events should a qualified reviewer investigate?
    Minimum useful evidence
    Approved quality records, batch context, laboratory evidence, procedures and access metadata.
    Acceptance
    Traceable retrieval, evidence coverage, reviewer acceptance and prohibited-use tests.
    Can fail when
    The assistant implies root cause, approval or compliance without qualified review.

    Capability architecture

    Candidate components not a fixed product stack.

    Model, product and platform names may change. NeoBram selects capabilities from the intended use, representative evaluation, latency, privacy, licences, operating cost and customer support model.

    Controlled ingestion

    Parse content while preserving source, revision, status, ownership and permissions.

    Selection question: Can the pipeline prove which record version produced each retrieved passage?

    Retrieval and filtering

    Find candidate evidence within the user's permitted corpus and operating context.

    Selection question: Does retrieval work by question class, document type, language and permission boundary?

    Ranking and evidence packing

    Order, de-duplicate and assemble the evidence that the answer may use.

    Selection question: Does ranking improve source precision without hiding contradictory evidence?

    Answer or drafting model

    Synthesize only within the stated intended use and available evidence.

    Selection question: Can the model cite, abstain, follow output structure and operate inside the required boundary?

    Evaluation and operations

    Track retrieval, answer support, permissions, latency, use, feedback and changes.

    Selection question: Who owns test cases, thresholds, content updates, incidents and model replacement?

    Any vendor or open-source name elsewhere on the site describes an integration context. It does not imply partnership, certification or guaranteed compatibility.

    Production acceptance

    Evaluate the full workflow.

    • Evaluate retrieval before generation: source precision, recall and permission filtering by question class.
    • Check whether every material answer statement is supported by the retrieved evidence.
    • Test conflicting, obsolete, insufficient, restricted and adversarial source scenarios.
    • Measure abstention and escalation quality, not only answer completion.
    • Include response time, reviewer effort, user correction and operating cost.
    • Regression-test after document, chunking, retrieval, prompt, model or permission changes.

    Limitations

    Plan for failure and change.

    • A citation proves where text came from, not that the answer is correct or the source is current.
    • Poor document ownership and metadata become retrieval failures.
    • A model may still overstate, omit or combine evidence incorrectly.
    • Private deployment does not remove identity, logging, updates, backup or governance work.

    Governance sources

    Use primary guidance as a design input.

    Sources do not certify a NeoBram implementation. They help teams ask better governance, risk and architecture questions.

    AI Risk Management Framework

    U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology

    Primary framework for governing, mapping, measuring and managing AI risk across the lifecycle.

    Direct answers

    Questions to resolve before implementation.

    Can RAG eliminate hallucinations?+

    No. RAG can ground output in retrieved evidence and make review easier, but retrieval can be wrong and generation can still overstate or omit. Test source retrieval, answer support, abstention and escalation.

    Does NeoBram need our data in the cloud?+

    No. The system can be designed for offline, on-premises, edge or private-cloud operation when the selected models and licences support it. The customer approves the data and support boundary.

    How much content is needed?+

    Start with the smallest controlled corpus that can answer a bounded user question. More documents can reduce quality when status, ownership, permissions and evaluation are weak.

    Do product names imply certified connectors?+

    No. NeoBram may describe a source system as an integration context. A production interface is confirmed with the customer and system owner; no partnership or certification is implied without explicit evidence.

    Use one real workflow

    Define the evidence and acceptance test before the model.

    NeoBram can lead the AI engineering while your experts retain domain, quality, safety and operating authority.
