Comparison
| Criterion | Corporate search | Enterprise RAG |
|---|---|---|
| Result | List of documents and matches. | Answer with sources and links to reasons. |
| Context | The user himself collects the meaning. | The system synthesizes the answer based on relevant fragments. |
| Risks | Outdated documents and manual interpretation. | Hallucinations, quality of sources, access rights. |
| When to choose | Need to navigate through documents. | We need answers, an assistant and knowledge automation. |
What to choose
If the task is to find a document, enterprise search is enough. If the task is to respond to regulations, contracts, knowledge base or project documentation, you need an Enterprise RAG with sources, roles and quality process.

The main risk of RAG?
Answer without sufficient reason. Therefore, sources, quality ratings, and non-response policies are needed.
