RAG and knowledge bases — why grounded answers keep selling

RAG / knowledge-base work is a durable AI services niche. Buyers want answers grounded in their docs with citations — not another hallucinating chatbot.

The niche

RAG (~5.0% share) shows up whenever a company has private knowledge and wants an assistant that doesn’t freestyle.

What buyers learn the hard way

Garbage corpus → garbage answers. Chunking, permissions, and refresh matter as much as the embedding model.

Builder takeaway

Sell grounded answers + citations + a refresh path. The vector logo is not the product.
