Grounding Joule on Enterprise Data

As of 2026-05-29

Grounding = governed answer vs hallucination. Two patterns: direct (Joule calls DSP analytic model, < 2s, 70 % of cases) and RAG (5-component pipeline: corpus → chunk+embed → vector index → retrieval → synthesis, 3-8s, 30 % of cases). Senior pattern: DAC inheritance propagated into retrieval filter — without it, GDPR + AI Act Art. 10 both violated. Index hygiene is the year-2 discipline that keeps trust alive.
