How it works

# A practical start with your own information

Quiet Giant brings an agreed set of business information into a configured AI environment. Staff ask questions, review the response and follow the source references. The first step is to choose the work this should help with.

**Choose a job that repeats.** A good starting point is a question the team asks regularly, a document comparison it repeats or a draft it prepares from existing guidance. Define the current process and what a useful result would look like.

**Choose the sources.** Confirm which documents are current, who owns them and who may see them. More information is not automatically better; an approved, manageable collection is easier to test and maintain.

**Configure and test.** Agree where storage, search and model processing run. Test normal questions, missing answers, outdated material and access boundaries.

**Review the result.** Measure the time taken, the usefulness of the response and the work required to check it. Decide whether to proceed, change the scope or stop.

A useful first step

## What does your team keep searching for?

Bring one recurring question. We will work through what a useful test would involve.
