Running It: The Corpus, the Escalation Path, and the Team
A support deployment is only as good as the documentation behind it and the escalation path in front of it. This lesson covers curating a corpus from ticket history, designing escalation that recognises when to stop, what happens to the team as volume composition shifts, and the failure modes that end these deployments.
The Write Path: Capturing Knowledge and Earning Trust
Retrieval solved the read side, so the constraint moved to what gets written down. This lesson covers the capture write path: architecture decision records, docs-as-code, change-triggered updates, and making capture cheap enough to survive. Then how to evaluate a company brain with golden questions, groundedness, and a permission regression suite, plus the failure modes that end these projects.
Company Brain Architecture: Connectors, Permissions, and Freshness
The hard parts of an internal knowledge system are not the ones a public RAG tutorial covers. This lesson builds the architecture: connectors and the ingestion path, the permission problem and why early binding beats late binding, oversharing inherited from your existing access control, entity resolution across silos, and the staleness and conflicting-truth problems that break internal corpora.
Institutional Memory: Why Companies Forget What They Know
Before building a company brain, understand the problem it inherits. This lesson covers explicit versus tacit knowledge, Nonaka's SECI spiral, why the 1990s knowledge-management wave left rotting repositories behind, and what retrieval and LLMs genuinely changed. The answer is precise: they collapsed the cost of reading, and did nothing at all about the cost of writing.
