RAG platform selection is full of bad advice — most either over-engineers for small use cases or under-scales for big ones. This guide gives you the right platform for your actual document volume and complexity, not a generic 'best of' list.

What's inside

Decision logic by document volume (under 500 pages, 500-5K, 5K-50K, 50K+) with platform recommendations, cost ranges, and the criteria that should drive your choice at each scale.

How to use it

  1. Skim the table of contents first. Guides reward jumping to the section that matches your current question.
  2. Apply one section per week. Trying to operationalize a guide in a sprint usually buries the insight.
  3. Note where the guide's advice doesn't match your context. That's your edge.
