Report #53882

[frontier] Vector RAG fails on global reasoning questions requiring synthesis across entire corpus

Use GraphRAG: extract entities and relationships into a knowledge graph, build hierarchical community summaries using the Leiden algorithm, and perform global search against these community summaries rather than raw chunks to enable holistic corpus reasoning.

Journey Context:
Vector RAG excels at local retrieval \(specific facts\) but fails at global questions \('What are the main themes across all reports?'\). GraphRAG creates a knowledge graph and builds 'community summaries' \(abstractions of subgraphs\). Global search queries these summaries, not raw text. Essential for analyzing large document collections where synthesis matters.
