[frontier] Naive RAG retrieves semantically similar but factually wrong chunks, missing relationships between entities

Deploy GraphRAG \(Microsoft\) to build knowledge graphs from source documents, enabling global reasoning over communities of entities rather than just local vector similarity.

Journey Context:
Vector search finds chunks with similar embeddings but lacks explicit entity relationships, causing 'hallucinated connections' or missed causality. GraphRAG extracts entities, relationships, and claims into a graph, then builds 'communities' \(hierarchical clusters\). At query time, it performs global search over community summaries for holistic answers, not just local chunks. This handles 'who influenced whom across these 1000 documents' vs 'find me a sentence about influence'. Proven to reduce hallucination by 40-50% on complex reasoning tasks.
