- Retrieval & Composition: On‑the‑fly Q&A; no citations.
- Governance & Evolution: Key‑based auth; minimal retrieval governance → L1.
📌 Summary & Guidance
- Leaders (UKM 4): Salesforce Agentforce, ServiceNow AI Agent Orchestrator, Databricks Agent Bricks, Dataiku AI Agents — all demonstrate typed corpora, hybrid vector+keyword search, governed retrieval with citations, and graph/lineage linking, with feedback/freshness loops.
- Strong (UKM 3): IBM AskIAM, Opsera Hummingbird — domain‑specific graphs and governed retrieval, but limited story/diagram composition or cross‑domain reasoning keep them at L3.
- Builders (UKM 2): AWS Strands SDK — flexible but BYO for index/graph/governance, so gate‑capped at L2 absent formal exportable citations and tenancy controls.
- Foundational (UKM 1): Google Conversational Agents, GitHub Copilot, Termius Gloria — keyword or ephemeral context only; no exportable citations or graphs.
Common gating failures that cap vendors at ≤ L2:
1) No exportable citations/provenance with results.
2) No RDF/SHACL graph or lack of typed cross‑corpus retrieval.
3) No demonstrable visibility/tenant enforcement under test.
Evidence to collect for bake‑offs: retrieval logs with citations, schema/shape files, visibility test scripts (pass/fail), freshness dashboards, and any ontology/graph query packs.
