Enterprise RAG, in Practice

What retrieval-augmented generation actually is, why enterprises need it, and what it takes to make one good — drawn from building a production HR-RAG system on GCP. How hybrid retrieval works, how to measure quality, the tuning that actually moves the needle, and the guardrails and costs that decide whether it survives contact with real users.
