The basics
What is RAG?
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) combines the power of large language models with your own private data. Instead of relying on generic AI knowledge, RAG systems search your documents, find the relevant information, and generate accurate, cited answers.
No hallucinations. No generic responses. Just your data, made intelligent.
For Manchester law firms, this means asking "what are our obligations under the Johnson contract renewal clause?" and getting the exact clause with a source reference. For healthcare providers, it means clinical guidelines that answer specific patient scenarios in seconds.

What we build
Document Intelligence Services
From a simple document Q&A system to a full enterprise search platform — we build RAG solutions scaled to your Manchester organisation's size, sector, and security requirements.
Legal Contract Analysis
Automated clause extraction, risk identification, and obligation tracking designed for mid-size Manchester law firms (10–100 solicitors). Purpose-built for firms priced out of Harvey and Luminance.
Knowledge Base AI
An internal document chatbot for your team. Ingests SharePoint, Notion, Google Drive, and PDFs. Integrates with Slack and Microsoft Teams so staff get answers without leaving their workflow.
Medical Records Intelligence
Clinical guidelines Q&A, patient record summarisation, and compliance documentation search. Built GDPR-first for Manchester healthcare providers, with audit trails on every query.
Enterprise Search
Replace keyword search with semantic understanding across your entire document repository. Users describe what they need in natural language — the system finds it, regardless of how it was filed.

Why DWC
Manchester's Specialist RAG Development Team
We are not a generic AI consultancy that added RAG to a slide deck. Document intelligence is one of our core specialisms — and we have built systems for Manchester organisations in law, healthcare, and enterprise settings.
We Know Your Documents
Legal contracts, clinical guidelines, insurance policies — each document type has quirks. We understand how to chunk, embed, and retrieve them accurately, including tables, footnotes, and cross-references.
Privacy & Compliance First
For Manchester law firms and healthcare providers, data security is non-negotiable. We build with GDPR obligations in mind from day one, not bolted on at the end.
Accuracy Over Speed
We benchmark every RAG system we build against your real documents before go-live. We tune retrieval, prompts, and chunking strategy until accuracy meets your requirements.
Enterprise-Ready Architecture
Multi-tenant access controls, SSO integration, audit logging, and monitoring are included in every Production build — because Manchester enterprises cannot afford downtime or data leaks.
