Where this sits
What Retrieve means here
Ask a question the way you would ask a colleague. Retrieval is grounded in the stored corpus, so what comes back is the exact record with its context, and the source travels with the answer. There is nothing to invent, because every answer is drawn from something that was already captured and verified.
What comes back
A retrieval is not a paraphrase and a guess. It is the exact record, plus everything you need to trust it and trace it.
The exact field or passage that answers the question, not a reworded approximation of it.
The government origin the record came from, carried with the answer.
Which captured version the answer is drawn from, so you can reproduce it later.
The surrounding record, so a number is never stranded from what it means.
Why this stage earns its place
PLAIN
Query in your own words across the whole corpus. No query language, no field names to memorize, no guessing where the record lives.
GROUNDED
Answers come from what was captured and verified, so there is the exact passage or field to read, not a paraphrase to second-guess.
ATTACHED
Every answer carries the source and the version it came from, so you can act on it now and point to it later.
Why it matters
An answer you can trace is worth more than an answer you have to re-check. Retrieval that carries its source turns a search result into something you can act on.
Tell us the source and the question. You get a working product, every fact pinned to where it came from.
