Loop Engineering for RAG: The Small Loops Inside Each Step, the Big Loops Across the Pipeline

17 August 2026 at 12:00

Enterprise Document Intelligence [Vol.1 #13bis] - The four bricks return useful results most of the time. Loop engineering is what the system does the rest of the time: when retrieval misses, when generation fails the schema, when the listing comes back incomplete, when an API call times out. Three control surfaces (trigger, termination, recovery) and one rule that separates a useful loop from a spinning one

Cut an Enterprise RAG Pipeline’s Latency and Cost by Calling the LLM Less, Not by Buying a Faster Model

Enterprise Document Intelligence [Vol.1 #9ter] - The pipeline from Article 9 calls a model at several steps to be sure it is right. On easy questions that is needless latency. A per-question signal routes them past the model, about two seconds saved for a keyword match.

Enterprise Document Intelligence [Vol.1 #5nonies] - Nature, plan, execute, synthesize: closing brick 1 with a dispatcher that reads each PDF’s nature and picks the method that fits, fitz, Docling, PaddleOCR, EasyOCR, MinerU or Surya, then folds the outputs into one corpus
