Where Is “Zero-Hallucination” RAG Actually Required in Production?
I’m exploring building a commercially licensed RAG system for high-stakes, regulated domains where the cost of being wrong is far higher than the cost of abstaining.
The goal is strict faithfulness: near-zero hallucination, and responses that are always grounded in verifiable citations (or no answer at all).
Typical in-house RAG setups don’t seem sufficient for this level of reliability, especially in areas like insurance, healthcare, or legal.
For those who’ve worked in such environments:
- Which domains actually need this level of rigor?
- Where have you seen real pain from hallucinations or weak retrieval?
- Any specific use cases where “answer only if provably correct” would be a game changer?
Looking for practical insights more than theoretical ideas.
