Knowledge Sourcing Gravity
Knowledge Base AI platforms differ sharply in how many internal and external sources they index, and that breadth determines how authoritative the AI assistant's answers feel to end users. A developer-focused assistant like Kapa pulls from over 30 sources, including documentation sites and code repositories, giving it deep technical fluency. Enterprise systems like eGain unify knowledge silos into a single source of truth, which suits compliance-heavy clients. Agencies should map each client's content landscape before choosing a platform: a SaaS client with scattered docs needs broad ingestion, while a regulated client needs controlled unification. The framework helps agencies avoid overbuying on source count or underdelivering on answer quality. For retainers, matching source breadth to client complexity directly reduces ticket deflection and justifies higher monthly fees.
