Ontology-grounded GraphRAG

Give every AI answer a governed evidence path.

SDS connects enterprise ontology, knowledge graphs, vector retrieval, policy and model context so financial assistants and agents can resolve meaning before they retrieve, reason or act.

End-to-end answer trace

From natural-language question to reviewable response.

Each stage emits an artifact that can be logged, evaluated and governed.

01Intent

Map the question to enterprise concepts, time, business role and authorization scope.

Query plan
02Identity

Resolve instrument, issuer, portfolio, event, policy and source identifiers.

Canonical entities
03Graph traversal

Select permitted relationship paths and assemble the relevant evidence subgraph.

Candidate facts
04Hybrid retrieval

Use graph context to constrain and rank vector or document retrieval.

Evidence bundle
05Validation

Apply SHACL, policy, freshness and completeness checks before generation.

Quality report
06Generation

Provide the LLM with governed facts, definitions, constraints and citation targets.

Grounded prompt
07Response

Return the answer with sources, dates, model context and uncertainty.

Auditable answer
What SDS implements

The semantic control plane for enterprise agents.

KNOWLEDGE GRAPH

Connected, temporal facts

Durable identity, point-in-time truth, lineage and authorization-aware paths connect the answer to the business.

RETRIEVAL

Graph + vector evidence

Graph traversal narrows the semantic scope; vector retrieval finds the supporting passages inside that scope.

POLICY

Agent guardrails

Machine-readable constraints govern permissible data, tools, actions, approval points and evidence requirements.

EVALUATION

Competency-question tests

Evaluate entity resolution, path quality, answer completeness, citation faithfulness and business correctness.

OPERATIONS

Observable semantic services

Version the ontology, mappings, prompts, graph snapshots and models behind every production answer.

Representative financial question

“Why did this ETF signal change?”

RESOLVED

Instrument and portfolio scope

The query resolves the ETF listing, issuer, constituents, current portfolio holding and decision horizon.

CONNECTED

Events, prices and risk

The graph connects the signal to validated market observations, corporate events, factors, exposure and limits.

EXPLAINED

Model and evidence trail

The answer identifies the model version, feature snapshot, retrieved evidence, timestamps and confidence.
