Engineering, retrieval, and the company we're building.
Field notes from the team building Quelvio.
How Quelvio ranks authority across your company's knowledge
A look at the freshness × authorship × cross-reference graph that decides which Slack message wins over a year-old PDF — and why our retrieval pipeline routes by expertise, not by keywords.

Quelvio CLI: company knowledge in your terminal
Completions, smart hints, progress indicators, update-check, and $EDITOR multiline. Why a CLI when Quelvio already speaks MCP — and what authority-scored, lifecycle-aware retrieval looks like at a shell prompt.
