A knowledge platform built for Nigerian Content compliance.

Ask NCDMB delivers instant, cited answers from the Board's own published documents — available around the clock to every operator, contractor, and investor working under the NOGICD Act.

How the Knowledge Base Works

Every answer is drawn from a structured library of authoritative NCDMB documents. The knowledge base is not static — it grows as the Board publishes new guidance, and every addition is verified before it goes live.

Source Documents

Official NCDMB publications — the NOGICD Act, operational guidelines, circulars, templates, and approved FAQs — form the foundation.

Structuring & Indexing

Each document is broken into sections, labelled with source metadata, and embedded as searchable vectors in a secure database.

Retrieval & Generation

When a question arrives, the system retrieves the most relevant passages and generates a grounded answer — citing the exact document and section.

Board Approval & Updates

New circulars and guidelines are added through the admin dashboard. Every addition is Board-approved before going live.

How the Knowledge Base Grows

NCDMB provides or approves the document

The Board identifies guidance that should be available to stakeholders through the platform.

Document processing

We structure the document into indexed sections within 24–48 hours.

Board review

Designated Board personnel review the indexed content through the secure admin dashboard.

Sign-off and deployment

The document goes live only after explicit Board approval — no content enters the knowledge base without authorisation.

Continuous monitoring

Answer quality and usage patterns are tracked through the admin dashboard. The Board sees exactly how each document is being used.

The Board retains full editorial control at every step. We never add or modifies knowledge base content without the Board's explicit approval.
