The cost of a knowledge problem

Your people spend hours finding answers that should take seconds

RAG doesn’t replace your people — it gives them back the time they spend searching. Here’s what that looks like in practice.

6 hrs
Per-engagement research time

US Tax Service advisors spent 6 hours per client engagement searching documents. After Sphere RAG: 7 minutes.

8–12 mo
New hire ramp-up time

PetroLedger new hires needed 8–12 months to reach full productivity. After Sphere RAG: 3–5 months.

40%
Senior staff retiring

40% of PetroLedger's senior workforce was nearing retirement, taking decades of institutional knowledge with them.

$0
Value extracted from documents

Most enterprises have the answer in a document somewhere. But if it can't be found in seconds, it might as well not exist.

Proven results

Two industries. Transformative outcomes.

Financial services · Onboarding & knowledge retention

A global financial firm saved $1.2M/year — and cut onboarding from 12 months to 5

With 40% of senior staff nearing retirement, PetroLedger faced catastrophic institutional knowledge loss. Sphere built a RAG-powered Digital Twin that converted decades of expertise into an AI system new hires could query in plain English — policies, ERP workflows, compliance guidelines, all cited from verified source documents.

“We transformed onboarding from a bottleneck into a competitive advantage. New hires reach full productivity in months, not a year.”

US Tax Service: document research dropped from 6 hours to 7 minutes

US Tax Service advises American expatriates and corporations across 6 countries on complex cross-border tax obligations. Their advisors lived inside a document retrieval problem — FATCA, FBAR, treaty guidance, cantonal rules — spread across fragmented systems. Sphere built a production-grade enterprise RAG in 5 weeks.

“Sphere deployed a production-ready RAG pipeline in five weeks. Document retrieval accuracy improved by 66%. Research time dropped from six hours per engagement to under seven minutes.”

Who benefits

Enterprise teams with a knowledge problem

If your people spend hours searching documents that should answer in seconds, RAG is likely the right solution.

Tax, Legal & Compliance Teams

Advisors researching across thousands of cross-jurisdictional documents. The answer exists — finding it takes too long.

US Tax Service: 6 hrs → 7 min

Operations & Field Engineering

Engineers troubleshooting from decades of fragmented manuals and ERP logs. RAG unifies them into one instant-answer interface.

30% faster issue resolution

HR & Onboarding Leaders

New hires taking months to become productive. Senior knowledge retiring with the person who holds it. RAG preserves and accelerates both.

PetroLedger: 12 mo → 5 mo

Customer Support & Success

Support teams drowning in tickets that could be resolved by AI trained on your actual product documentation — not generic ChatGPT.

~20–30pt self-service increase

Healthcare & Clinical Teams

Clinical protocols and guidelines that need to be at hand during time-critical decisions — not in a PDF folder somewhere.

~50% less time finding guidance

Financial Services

Investment research, regulatory filings, and client records that need to be cross-referenced in seconds — not in tabs across three systems.

3

Architecture Blueprint

4

Prototype Build & RAG Evaluation

Working RAG with your real data. Benchmarked on retrieval precision, recall, answer faithfulness, and relevancy — before we proceed.

Is Your Data Ready for Retrieval-Augmented AI?

RAG depends on clean, connected, well-structured knowledge. If your content lives in PDFs, emails, manuals, or legacy systems, the right preparation turns all of it into a powerful retrieval layer. Use our whitepaper to identify gaps in your data landscape and prepare your organization to deploy AI with confidence.

Built for enterprise

Security and compliance from day one

AWS, Azure, or GCP. Your data never leaves your infrastructure. No SaaS, no vendor lock-in.

Advisors only retrieve content within their authorization scope. Client records never surface in cross-user queries.

OpenAI, Claude, Mistral, Llama 3, Gemini. We work with the model that fits your compliance, privacy, and cost requirements.
