Decisions
Static, deterministic retrieval keeps the prototype auditable. The answerer can only cite indexed policy chunks and employee handoff facts.

Tradeoffs
No LLM is used in this version, so language coverage is narrower. In exchange, failure modes are easy to inspect in the retrieved chunk list.
Versioning
Every citation carries owner, version, and effective date. A production system would answer against the event date and retain superseded chunks for audit.
Jurisdiction
The retrieval tool filters by employee jurisdiction before ranking. Wrong-state addenda are visible as gated documents, but cannot become retrieved evidence.
Embeddings
This static demo uses token scoring. In production, each chunk would be embedded with jurisdiction metadata, then searched with a pre-filter before reranking.
Next
Add embeddings, access-control tests, policy precedence rules, evals for citation precision, and an LLM synthesis step constrained to retrieved evidence.
