Business Knowledge Base Setup

Turn engagement research and working records into a useful business reference. Suede AI organizes the agreed material in an Obsidian workspace so the team can find source-linked notes, follow decisions and maintain what it learns.

What your team receives

  1. Searchable Obsidian workspaceAn organized set of the agreed engagement notes and records, structured for everyday lookup and reuse.
  2. Topic and source organizationConsistent note names, relationships and source references that explain how the material fits together.
  3. Use and maintenance guidePractical instructions for adding material, updating approved facts and assigning responsibility for unresolved questions.

A defined scope, an accountable owner and a useful handover.

Organize around the questions the team asks

A knowledge base earns its place when someone can find the right record during real work. We begin with the engagement material and the questions the team needs to answer: which facts were approved, what a decision relied on or where the current process is documented.

The structure follows those retrieval needs. Topics, projects and source records receive consistent names and useful links. The goal is a navigable working reference with a clear place for new material, so organizing the workspace does not become another recurring research task.

Keep notes connected to their evidence

Research notes, decisions and reference material need different treatment. We keep source details alongside the relevant information and distinguish an approved decision from a working idea. A reader should be able to follow the note back to the record that supports it.

Conflicting or incomplete material is recorded for the designated owner to resolve. Superseded instructions remain distinguishable from the current reference. This gives the team a clearer view of what it can use today and what still needs an answer.

Make the handover practical

We define how to add a note, link a source, update an instruction and identify the person responsible for a topic. The guide uses the actual workspace structure and includes representative examples, making it easier for another teammate to continue the system.

Acceptance focuses on retrieval. Using agreed questions, the team checks whether it can find the relevant note, identify its source and tell whether it is current. File handover and access arrangements are confirmed in the scope so the workspace remains usable after the engagement.

How the work is delivered

  1. Inventory the engagement material Identify the notes, source records and decisions to organize, along with the owner who can resolve factual conflicts.
  2. Build the Obsidian workspace Apply a useful topic structure, connect related notes and retain the source information needed to understand each record.
  3. Test retrieval and hand over Work through representative questions, correct confusing organization and document the update conventions for the team.

Example: finding an approved business description

Illustrative example

The team needs the current company description and the reason it changed. A linked note contains the approved wording, the decision record and the supporting sources. An older version is marked as superseded, helping the next person use the current description without repeating the research.

Questions about Business Knowledge Base Setup

Is this a custom RAG system?

This service organizes engagement knowledge in Obsidian for the team to search, read and maintain. A custom retrieval-augmented generation system would need a separate technical scope covering ingestion, access and answer evaluation.

Who owns and updates the knowledge base?

The handover identifies the business owner, file delivery and access arrangements. Your designated team member maintains approved facts and new material using the guide. Any continuing organization or maintenance work is agreed as part of the engagement scope.

Next step

Make the engagement knowledge reusable

Bring the material your team keeps searching for and the questions it needs to answer. Suede AI will organize a practical Obsidian workspace around that work.
