What changes when it is mining & metals
A RAG system that cannot cite its source is a liability. Every answer we ship points back to the page it came from, so a reader can verify in one click.
In mining & metals, the environment is hostile to hardware and safety compliance is non-negotiable. That single fact reshapes how rag & knowledge retrieval has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.
The workload we are most often asked to take on first is environmental compliance reporting, usually integrated against SCADA. Integration comes before intelligence. A model that cannot reach your systems of record is a demo with good manners.
Multi-model by default, so a provider outage is a routing decision rather than an incident. Six weeks to something running in production, not six quarters to a strategy document.
The sector constraints we design around
- Defining constraint
- the environment is hostile to hardware and safety compliance is non-negotiable
- Regulations in scope
- DGMS safety regulations · environmental clearances · mineral concession rules
- Systems of record

Questions from this sector
Will cameras survive site conditions?
With appropriate industrial housings, yes. Hardware selection matters more than model selection in mining deployments.
Can it improve safety compliance?
PPE and exclusion-zone monitoring provide consistent, documented observation that manual supervision cannot match across a full shift.
RAG or fine-tuning?
RAG for knowledge that changes and must be cited; fine-tuning for style, format and task behaviour. Most production systems use RAG for the facts and light fine-tuning or few-shot prompting for the form.
How accurate will it be?
We build a labelled question set from your domain and report retrieval precision and answer accuracy against it. That number is the deliverable. We do not ship a system whose quality nobody has measured.
Can it respect our existing permissions?
Yes. Retrieval is filtered by the user's actual entitlements, so the assistant can never surface a document the user could not already open.
