Prepare answers from information the workflow may use.

operations or knowledge leader / document-process owner.

searching scattered sources, comparing versions and answering without clear provenance.

question or document intake → verify permitted source scope → retrieve relevant versioned evidence → prepare answer or structured fields → identify uncertainty and omissions → reviewer verifies before consequential use.

authorised document repositories, business records and source-access interfaces; connectors unconfirmed.

permissioned RAG, source references, access-aware execution and evaluation.

access grants, ambiguous policy interpretation and legal/professional conclusions require an authorised reviewer.

source correctness, permission-boundary adherence, unsupported-answer frequency and extraction correction rate.

education policy knowledge, construction document control and professional-services matter preparation.

retrieval is not truth verification; stale sources or missing evidence must be shown explicitly.
