Report #22209

[frontier] RAG failing on global queries requiring synthesis across entire document corpora \(e.g., 'What are the main themes?'\)

Implement GraphRAG: extract entities and relationships into a knowledge graph, run community detection to cluster related concepts, generate natural language summaries for each community, and retrieve based on these global summaries for holistic reasoning.

Journey Context:
Naive RAG and even Contextual Retrieval are local methods; they fail on 'global questions' that require understanding corpus structure. GraphRAG \(Microsoft, 2024\) builds a graph and indexes community summaries, enabling global reasoning. Essential for enterprise knowledge bases in 2025. Tradeoff: significantly higher indexing compute cost and storage requirements.
