Where is the best place to start?

With a clear, bounded use case and a group that can provide feedback and expert review.

Does every use case need RAG?

No. A knowledge base makes sense when it improves the task and data access and source quality are clear.

Summarising, structuring, drafting and translating can be useful when outputs receive subject-matter review.

Document-based assistance needs curated sources, permissions and a statement on how results are checked.

Local models can support documentation, explanation or tightly scoped development tasks.

A local model endpoint can be part of a defined process. Interfaces, failure cases and human control belong in the design.

Well suited	recurrent, bounded and subject to expert review
Needs review	high impact, unclear sources, sensitive decisions
Do not automate	cases without appropriate control or clear value
