Many customers in the Federal space have complex disparate data across focus areas. Decisions are driven based on combining data sources, and making those decisions at the data level can help drive faster and more accurate answers for downstream applications and LLMs. In this blog post, Seth M. explores how "data gravity"—the increasing difficulty and cost of moving large datasets—exacerbates challenges, where applying complex business rules often leads to latency and infrastructure strain. To counter this, the Seth highlights an integrated approach using Corticon.js for decision authoring and MarkLogic as a data hub. Corticon.js empowers business analysts to build decision logic via intuitive tools like Corticon.js Studio: defining vocabularies from schemas, crafting rulesheets for conditional logic, sequencing via ruleflows, and validating with ruletests. This compiles into portable JavaScript for seamless deployment. MarkLogic complements this by ingesting data through Flux and triggering inline evaluations on document arrival, enriching records with decisions, audit messages, and traces—without any data movement. This preserves lineage, boosts throughput, and ensures a single source of truth. Key benefits include transparent, auditable decisions for compliance; reduced costs from eliminating data transfers; and enhanced efficiency for sectors like public programs (e.g., automating eligibility and claims). For LLMs and apps, an explainability dashboard visualizes policies and traces, while an AI-in-the-loop chatbot leverages Retrieval-Augmented Generation from MarkLogic to deliver grounded, context-rich responses.

Debra Barrett, Vice President, Corporate Affairs of Otsuka America Pharmaceutical, Inc. and Jessica Guthrie, a family caregiver caring for her mother, sat down to discuss the caregiver crisis in the U.S and highlight the new “Caregiving” documentary, now available on PBS. Watch the full conversation: https://lnkd.in/edsxJFs7 At Otsuka, we recognize that in order to bring about meaningful changes that ease the daily challenges of family caregivers, state and federal policymakers need to collaborate with one another. By working together, policymakers can ensure that family caregivers receive the recognition and support they need and deserve. And caregivers need to be at the table. The two-hour documentary is currently available to stream on PBS.org and the PBS App. ​Otsuka is proud to be a lead, founding sponsor of the documentary.  ​ #Caregiving #CaregiverCommitment #Otsuka​
