Why 'zero hallucinations' is a process, not a promise
No language model is perfect. What you can engineer is a system where unverified answers are never shown to customers. That requires several layers working together.
Layer 1: Retrieval grounding
Answers are generated only from retrieved passages of your approved knowledge base, with sources attached to every response.
Layer 2: Confidence thresholds
When retrieval relevance or answer confidence falls below a threshold, the agent declines and offers a human instead of guessing.
Layer 3: Topic and action policies
Hard blocks on sensitive topics, allow-lists for actions, and prompt-injection defenses keep the agent inside its mandate.
Layer 4: Human review and monitoring
Weekly transcript reviews, flagged-conversation queues and regression test suites catch drift before customers do.
