Knowledge Domains

Domains are Egret's curated, jurisdiction-specific knowledge bases maintained by subject-matter experts. Each domain covers a specific regulatory area — currently Business Continuity, with Risk Management and Cyber Resilience coming soon. All domain endpoints are public and require no authentication.

Private knowledge base

In addition to Egret's curated public domains, each organisation has a private knowledge base where you can upload your own internal policies, plans, and compliance documentation. Only your organisation can query it.

Document upload is handled through the organisation settings in the dashboard. Supported formats: PDF, DOCX, XLSX, CSV, Markdown (.md). Egret automatically chunks, embeds, and indexes every uploaded document for retrieval.

Note on PDFs: Only text-based PDFs are supported. PDFs that consist of scanned images or photographs of documents (i.e. no embedded text layer) cannot be processed. If your PDF was created by scanning physical pages without OCR, convert it to a searchable PDF before uploading.

Public domain content is managed exclusively by Egret administrators and cannot be modified by users.
