[frontier] RAG retrieval failures on complex multi-hop reasoning queries

Replace vector similarity with GraphRAG using LLM-generated Cypher queries for knowledge graph traversal

Journey Context:
Naive RAG fails when answers require connecting disparate facts \(e.g., 'Which supplier of our top vendor had compliance issues last quarter?'\). Vector similarity retrieves chunks with high semantic overlap but misses implicit relationships. Emerging production systems combine Knowledge Graphs \(Neo4j/Amazon Neptune\) with LLM-generated Cypher queries. The agent generates parameterized Cypher based on the schema, traverses multi-hop relationships \(Supplier\)-\[:SUPPLIES\]->\(Vendor\)-\[:HAS\_ISSUE\]->\(Compliance\), then feeds retrieved subgraphs into the LLM. This provides deterministic relationship paths vs. probabilistic vector search. Microsoft Research's GraphRAG and Neo4j's LangChain integration show 40%\+ accuracy gains on complex QA.
