Knowledge and data foundation

Map sources, permissions and context so agents work from authorised, current information.

Why it matters

Confident wrong answers come from upstream: an outdated version, two sources that disagree, or a document applied to the wrong case. Fixing the information a workflow uses is cheaper and more durable than changing models.

Who this is for

Teams whose knowledge lives in documents, tickets, wikis, contracts and systems of record, and who need AI output that can be traced back to those sources.

What we do

  • Identify the sources, concepts, terminology and context a task actually requires.
  • Design access, retrieval, review and exception handling around the real workflow.
  • Evaluate how information quality affects the usefulness and reliability of outputs.

What you receive

  • Knowledge-source and permission map.
  • Task and workflow reference design for the AKE deployment.
  • Evaluation criteria and a test set drawn from your own cases.

How it runs

1

Define

Define the task and the information it needs.

2

Design

Design the knowledge and workflow components.

3

Test

Test representative cases before operational extension.

Who you will work with

A knowledge engineer and a forward deployed engineer work with your subject-matter experts to map sources, owners, currency rules and terminology, in the languages your teams use.

An example

A manufacturer’s quality team had answers spread across change records, test reports and plant-specific terminology in Mandarin and English. The foundation work produced a permission map and a glossary with owners before any agent was configured. (Illustrative example.)

Questions

Do we need a data-cleaning project first?
Usually not a separate one. The foundation work scopes the sources a specific workflow needs and fixes what matters for that workflow, rather than trying to perfect everything.
Is our information shared with other Magellan Global brands?
No. Each engagement defines what information is used, who may access it and how it is retained. There is no shared client-data pool.

Start with one workflow.
