Retrieval Trust Topology

Retrieval Trust Topology maps the security path of a RAG system from input to output. A user query enters alongside user and tenant identity, establishing the retrieval boundary and governing access filters before any corpus lookup occurs. The retriever, ranking and selection stage, and prompt assembly transform approved corpus content into model context, while source provenance preserves traceability across the pipeline. The model then generates an answer or triggers an optional tool or action, making the final output dependent not just on retrieval accuracy but on the integrity of each trust decision along the way.
