The problem
Teams lose time searching folders and asking subject-matter experts where an operative rule is written, especially when different documents use different terms for the same concept.
What EKOS does
Hybrid semantic and keyword retrieval searches current document passages, applies corpus, controlled-tag, and exact metadata filters, and can locally rerank the strongest candidates.
- Hybrid semantic and BM25 keyword retrieval
- Keyword-only fallback and optional local reranking
- Corpus, controlled-tag, and exact metadata filters
- Current-version and EKOS visibility scoping
- Expandable passages with direct document links
How it works
A query runs through hybrid retrieval that combines exact keyword matching with semantic similarity, so a search for one phrasing still finds a document that uses another.
Corpus, controlled-tag, and exact metadata filters such as framework, agency, or jurisdiction narrow the estate before ranking.
A local cross-encoder can rerank the strongest candidates and falls back to the original order if reranking is unavailable.
Only current document versions visible to your tenant, organizations, and subscribed corpora are eligible to appear.
Each result is a source passage with its document title, section context, collection, and a direct path into the dossier.
Business outcome
Users reach the operative language faster and make decisions from the record instead of relying on an unverified summary.
Proof and human control
Every result includes the source passage, document title, section context, collection, and a direct path to the underlying dossier.
Example in practice
A compliance analyst searches for an incident notification window. EKOS finds the policy and procedure passages even when one document calls it a reporting deadline, allowing the analyst to verify the exact requirement.
Scope today
Results are limited to current versions visible through the caller's tenant, organization, and subscribed corpus context.
