CASE 11
10 weeks
Semantic Search over Compliance Docs
Audit questions drafted in minutes, with receipts.
- Python
- FastAPI
- pgvector
- Hybrid search
- Postgres
THE PROBLEM
Compliance officers answered audits by searching PDFs with Cmd-F. Every audit was a week of copy-paste, and answers were inconsistent between officers.
WHAT WE DID
- 01
OCR + semantic chunking pipeline for every regulatory document and internal policy.
- 02
Hybrid search (BM25 + dense vectors) so keyword-exact queries and meaning-based queries both work.
- 03
Draft-an-answer UI where the officer picks the question and gets a cited draft to edit.
- 04
Every draft stored with citations so the audit trail is the answer itself.
OUTCOME
Audit responses that used to take days now take hours, and two officers generating the same answer produce the same citations.
