## FAQ

### How does the service handle citations?

The service checks citations rather than trusting them; it lists source numbers used and identifies any invalid citations that point to no source.

### What happens if a question is off-topic?

Off-topic questions are refused during the retrieval step, which prevents unnecessary model generation costs.

### How is the service deployed?

The service can be deployed using a one-command Docker Compose stack, which handles models, indexing, and the API.
