To compile deep context on a topic, you combine semantic search with relational graph traversal. This surfaces connections that keyword search alone misses by traversing entry connections and expanding through domain-specific tags.

The best way to research a topic comprehensively is using a four-phase retrieval process: seed search, relationship expansion, tag expansion, and gap filling. This method assembles deep context and surfaces connections that keyword search misses.

Relationship traversal works by exploring entry connections from seed topics to surface related material. It traverses graph relations to discover linked information, then expands scope using domain-specific tags to widen knowledge coverage.

Yes, you need access to Distillery MCP tools for search, relations, and list operations to perform multi-phase retrieval. These tools enable the semantic search and relationship traversal required to identify missing people, projects, and topics.

Yes, semantic search can identify knowledge gaps during the gap filling phase of context retrieval. It identifies missing people, projects, and topics to widen knowledge coverage and surface comprehensive context across multiple retrieval phases.

Keyword search alone misses connections because it cannot traverse relational graphs or expand scope using domain-specific tags. A four-phase retrieval process combining semantic search with relationship traversal surfaces comprehensive context that keywords miss.
