Loop Engineering for RAG: The Small Loops Inside Each Step, the Big Loops Across the Pipeline

17 August 2026 at 12:00

Enterprise Document Intelligence [Vol.1 #13bis] - The four bricks return useful results most of the time. Loop engineering is what the system does the rest of the time: when retrieval misses, when generation fails the schema, when the listing comes back incomplete, when an API call times out. Three control surfaces (trigger, termination, recovery) and one rule that separates a useful loop from a spinning one

Designing a Persistent Knowledge Layer That Refuses to Guess

16 August 2026 at 15:00

RAG Retrieves, It Never Remembers. A vendor-neutral blueprint for applications that accumulate understanding. Includes a complete Azure-native implementation (Microsoft Foundry, Azure AI Search, Cosmos DB,Β FastAPI) mapped to a property-insurance corpus.Β

Cut an Enterprise RAG Pipeline’s Latency and Cost by Calling the LLM Less, Not by Buying a Faster Model

13 August 2026 at 15:00

Enterprise Document Intelligence [Vol.1 #9ter] - The pipeline from Article 9 calls a model at several steps to be sure it is right. On easy questions that is needless latency. A per-question signal routes them past the model, about two seconds saved for a keyword match.

Before Full Agentic RAG: Know How You Decide, and the Parsing Methods You Pick From

12 August 2026 at 16:30

Enterprise Document Intelligence [Vol.1 #5nonies] - Nature, plan, execute, synthesize: closing brick 1 with a dispatcher that reads each PDF’s nature and picks the method that fits, fitz, Docling, PaddleOCR, EasyOCR, MinerU or Surya, then folds the outputs into one corpus

Prompt, Context, Loop: The Three Engineering Layers Every RAG System Is Built On

3 August 2026 at 16:30

Enterprise Document Intelligence [Vol.1 #M2] - Every RAG system is built in three engineering layers stacked on one LLM call: prompt (the call itself), context (what fills the model’s window), loop (when the next call fires and when it stops). Knowing which layer you are standing on is half of building and debugging RAG
