For SaaS teams in Seattle, RAG development usually starts with in-product copilots, support-deflection chat and churn-signal summaries. The raw material is docs, tickets and product analytics exports, so we scope tenant data isolation into the SOW before the first commit.
For e-commerce teams in Seattle, RAG development usually starts with catalog enrichment, customer-service chat and returns automation. The raw material is product catalogs, orders and support tickets, so we scope accurate product and policy answers into the SOW before the first commit.
For cloud teams in Seattle, RAG development usually starts with internal developer copilots, incident summaries and docs chat. The raw material is runbooks, postmortems and API docs, so we scope least-privilege tool access into the SOW before the first commit.
