RAG Readiness Checklist
Evaluate whether your organization is ready to implement a Retrieval-Augmented Generation system. Covers data quality, infrastructure, and team readiness.
Is Your Organization RAG-Ready?
Before investing in a RAG implementation, assess your readiness across these dimensions:
Data Readiness
- Do you have structured or semi-structured documentation?
- Is your content regularly updated and version-controlled?
- Can you identify authoritative sources vs. outdated content?
- Do you have at least 100+ documents worth indexing?
Infrastructure Readiness
- Do you have cloud infrastructure or budget for vector databases?
- Can you support API-based LLM inference (or on-premise deployment)?
- Is there a CI/CD pipeline for iterating on the RAG system?
Team Readiness
- Is there a product owner who can define success metrics?
- Do you have subject matter experts for evaluation?
- Is there engineering capacity for integration work?
Next Steps
If you answered yes to most items above, you are likely ready for a RAG pilot. Request a consultation to discuss your specific use case.
