Enterprise KB vs one-off uploads (visual-first)
AI Sandbox (Enterprise KB)
- Maintainable assets: ingest → structure → index
- Permissions and auditing
- Cited answers (traceable)
- Versioning & regression tests
One-off uploads
- Ad-hoc per chat/user
- Harder governance/versioning
- Harder to regress, more rework
The difference is not “can it answer”, but “can it be governed, reused, and accepted”:
- AI Sandbox (enterprise KB): turn documents into maintainable assets (ingest → structure → index) with permissions, citations, versioning, and regression tests—so teams share consistent, acceptance-ready answers.
- One-off uploads: often ad-hoc per chat/user, making audit, version governance, and institutional acceptance difficult.
