How do you handle provenance and lineage?

Every answer links each claim back to the file, page, and version it came from, so lineage is inspectable end to end rather than reconstructed after the fact.

What happens when someone queries a table they don’t have row-level access to?

They get an answer built only from what they are entitled to see. Permission-aware retrieval runs at query time and inherits your access model, so scope by team, category, or project holds server-side rather than by convention — the restricted rows never reach the retrieval step.

Do you train on our data?

No. Your data is never used to train models, yours or anyone else’s. Merciv is SOC 2 Type II, and the sourcing methodology and controls behind that are documented for procurement review.

Which systems do you connect to today — live, not roadmap?

Snowflake, Databricks, Looker, and SAP connect directly, alongside the document systems your research already lives in. Merciv reads from them in place and inherits your access model, so there is no migration and nothing has to move somewhere new to be queried.

What’s the tenant isolation model?

Your tenant is a fully isolated instance built on least-privilege access — no commingling between customers, and no reach across teammates who haven’t been granted access. Combined with page-level lineage, you can reconstruct which sources produced an answer rather than taking it on trust.

Can we evaluate accuracy the way we would a model?

Yes. Confidence scores, page-level citations, and code-run lineage make accuracy, coverage, and drift testable, so you can hold Merciv to the same evaluation bar as any system you own.

Data & analytics

Govern your knowledge system without slowing it down

Access expires automatically, stale research gets flagged before anyone cites it, and every claim traces to source — so your company’s memory scales safely as you grow.

How data teams use Merciv

Give the business answers without losing control of the data
Permission-aware retrieval, so each person sees only what they’re already cleared to see.
Redirect shadow AI into something governed
A sanctioned place to ask, with an audit trail — instead of verbatims pasted into a public chatbot.
Show lineage for any answer
Which source, which document, which retrieval path — exportable when security asks.
Answer the AI security questionnaire once
Model provenance, retention policy, tenant isolation, and subprocessors, documented before procurement asks for them.
Inventory where AI touches consumer data
Classify it and log it, against the EU AI Act’s high-risk obligations.
Take repeat questions off the queue
Governed self-serve for recurring asks, so modeling stops sitting behind ad-hoc requests.
Feed cited inputs to your models
Structured, sourced consumer evidence your segmentation, forecasting, and MMM can actually consume.
Keep the internal build and add the layer
Your assistant keeps the archive. This adds the licensed external signal and the citation contract.

Knowledge systems don’t stay governed on their own. Access outlasts the project it was granted for, research goes stale, and different tools and sources contradict each other. Nobody notices until it’s a problem, and data & analytics teams waste time worrying about it.Merciv keeps your knowledge system unified, current, and governed automatically.

Common questions

Executive-ready outputs out of the box

We’ve built an internal RAG assistant. What does yours add?
Keep it. What an internal build can’t hold is the licensed external and live-category layer, permission-aware across every source at query time. Merciv adds that layer and coexists with what your team already runs.
Is there any data migration? I’m not moving anything out of the warehouse.
None. Snowflake, Databricks, Looker, and SAP are read in place, and Merciv inherits your access model rather than standing up a second one. Nothing has to move somewhere new to be queried.
Legal found teams pasting verbatims into ChatGPT. How does this stop that?
By making the governed path the faster one. Shadow AI shows up when the sanctioned route is slower than the unsanctioned one, so the fix is a tool people prefer: permission-aware, cited, and zero training on your data.

Knowledge

One governed home for all of your company’s data

Research files, syndicated feeds, and warehouse tables live in one structured corpus with a single set of rules. You can see what’s in it, what’s current, and where two sources hold conflicting answers on the same question.

Permissions

Access enforced automatically, every time

Scope access by team, category, or project, and Merciv holds the boundary every time someone asks a question. Two users asking the same thing get two different answer sets — enforced server-side, not by convention.

Citations & lineage

The audit trail already exists

Every claim traces to its file, page, and version by default. When someone asks how a finding got in front of leadership, it takes a click, not an entire project, to produce the full audit trail.

Connectors

Reason over the systems you already run

Snowflake, Databricks, Looker, and SAP connect directly, so analysis runs against live data instead of a manual export. Nothing has to move somewhere new to be queried.

Retrieval & code execution

Accuracy that holds past 10,000 files

Hybrid retrieval paths keep answers precise at corpus sizes where standard RAG degrades. Quantitative questions are computed in code and shown with their lineage — not estimated by the model.

Your stack

Add the layer, not another system to manage

Merciv reads from the warehouse, BI, and research tools you already govern — in place, without copying your data somewhere new. It inherits the access controls you’ve already defined, so adopting it doesn’t mean standing up a parallel system to administer.

Reads where your data lives
Connects to Snowflake, Databricks, Looker, and SAP directly. No new pipeline, no duplicate copy to keep in sync
Inherits your access model
Permissions follow your existing identity provider and team structure — not a second set of rules to maintain by hand
Nothing new to operate
No infrastructure to provision, no migration project, no ongoing admin burden landing on your team
