Where it fits
Nova Micro across support workflows
How well the model suits each job – grounded in what it can really do, not hype.
Why this matters
What breaks when you run Nova Micro raw
Retrieval, grounding and workflow orchestration matter more than raw model intelligence in production.
Hallucinated Answers. It confidently gives wrong answers that sound official.
Stale Information. It repeats outdated policies or features long removed.
No Account Context. It can’t see the customer’s order or subscription details.
Inconsistent Search. Same questions get different answers each time.
The Chatref way
The model is one layer. Grounding is the rest.
The model is just one layer – grounding, retrieval, and escalation decide if it works in production.
