DGS vs LLMs
RAG vs verified synthesis.
Retrieval helps grounding. Workflow design helps adoption.
RAG answers “what does the data say?”
Retrieval-augmented generation is great at grounding a response in documents. It’s a data access pattern.
Workflows still need artifacts
Even with good retrieval, teams still need a reviewable output: scope, assumptions, acceptance criteria, and sign-off.
Verified synthesis is workflow design
DGS focuses on structuring the output and making verification a first-class step, so the result can be governed.
