    Example

    Scenario

    Engineer asks 'KMS rotation runbook.' ACL allows platform-docs collection → retrieves runbook → cites steps → offers Jira change ticket. Intern asks executive comp → ACL denies retrieval → policy message, no chunks leaked.

    Solution

    In Capstone Projects, apply Enterprise Knowledge Assistant to this scenario: Engineer asks 'KMS rotation runbook. Identify the inputs, run the technique, validate the output, and note one thing you would monitor in production.

    Practice Task

    Do this before moving to the next module — reading alone is not enough.

    Open the Code Walkthrough below and run it locally. Change one parameter related to Enterprise Knowledge Assistant (e.g. model, temperature, top_k, or tool name), observe the difference in output, and write 2–3 sentences explaining what changed.
