01 团队与我的位置
Team & role
DataArc 是 IDEA 研究院孵化的合成数据团队。DataArc is a synthetic-data team incubated by IDEA.
我是初创期 PM,定义了早期产品 Roadmap。I was the founding-stage PM who defined the early product roadmap.
IDEA 研究院由沈向洋院士推动成立。DataArc 从 IDEA 的科研序列中孵化,沈向洋与郭健担任项目顾问,核心技术是语境图谱与合成数据:为稀缺、敏感和长尾场景生成可训练、可评测的数据。Academician Harry Shum helped establish IDEA. DataArc was incubated from IDEA's research organization, with Harry Shum and Jian Guo as project advisors. Its core technologies—Context Graphs and synthetic data—generate trainable and evaluable data for scarce, sensitive, and long-tail scenarios.

02 产品判断
Product thesis
市场先听懂“知识库”The market understood “knowledge base” first
合成数据拥有明确的技术价值,但客户采购时更关心“你能为我做什么”。初创期,我们在短时间内接触几十家客户与合作方,从反复出现的问题里提炼出一个共性需求:企业知识库是 Agent 进入业务的前置环节,数据治理是业务 AI 化的第一步,知识治理在当时乃至今天都是重要刚需。Synthetic data had clear technical value, while buyers cared more about one question: “What can you do for my business?” After meeting dozens of clients and collaborators in a short period, we distilled a recurring need: enterprise knowledge bases precede agents, data governance is the first step toward operational AI, and knowledge governance remains a critical need today.











我们在短时间内接触了大量企业与合作方,从反复出现的业务问题中抽象出共性需求:企业知识库。In a short period, we met many enterprises and collaborators, then abstracted a shared need from recurring business problems: the enterprise knowledge base.
产品认知 Product insight合成数据是“性感”的融资叙事,也是底层的重要技术能力。但甲方更能听懂、且愿意买单的,是更贴近业务的“知识库”需求。Synthetic data makes a compelling fundraising story and remains an important foundational capability. Enterprise buyers, however, understood—and paid for—knowledge-base needs that connected directly to their business.

当时采用的产品形态类似 Manus 的多工具交互形态,底层是我们的 Living Knowledge Base。The product used a multi-tool interaction model similar to Manus, powered underneath by our Living Knowledge Base.

2025 年 8 月业务快照。每个 POC 都由产品跟进,再把共性需求沉淀回 LivingKB 与 RAGFactory。August 2025 snapshot. Product followed each POC, then fed shared needs back into LivingKB and RAGFactory.
03 某教育公司 POC
Education case
POC:把标品带进具体业务,理解产品边界POC: Bring the standard product into a real workflow and understand its boundaries
该教育公司希望把教材、题库和知识点整理成可靠的知识体系,并进一步形成可采购的应用。过程概要:先梳理完整业务范围,再选择哲学作为最小切口;复用 LivingKB 与 Context Graph 的底座,同时为教育场景重新定义知识结构、数据处理和做题闭环。The education company wanted to organize textbooks, question banks, and concepts into a reliable knowledge system, then develop it into a purchasable application. We first mapped the full business scope, chose philosophy as the smallest viable wedge, reused the LivingKB and Context Graph foundation, and redesigned the knowledge structure, data processing, and practice loop for education.

- 01理解业务 Understand
先看完整题库,再选最小切口Map the whole question bank, then choose the wedge
调研覆盖上线科目、二三级知识点、题量与需求。哲学兼具知识关联、适中难度和较小范围,适合在一周内跑通。Research covered subjects, topic hierarchies, volume, and demand. Philosophy combined relational knowledge, moderate difficulty, and a contained scope suitable for a one-week build.
- 02设计定制 Tailor
把行业知识写成产品结构Turn domain knowledge into product structure
教材目录形成结构层,教材知识点形成基础层,解题策略形成策略层;每一层都定义数据来源、关系和进入应用的方式。Textbook chapters formed the structure layer, concepts the foundation layer, and solving strategies the strategy layer—each with defined sources, relationships, and application paths.

四本教材约 750K tokens,1000 道题拆分建库与测试。评测用于检查复用底座在新场景里的速度和有效性。Four textbooks totaled about 750K tokens, with 1,000 questions split between graph building and testing. Evaluation checked the reused foundation's speed and effectiveness in the new domain.

这组数字只说明首轮 POC 的交付尺度:早期 PPT 与后续记录中的 LightRAG 基线分别为 64% 和 66%,LivingKB 初期结果均为 81%。These figures describe the scale of the first POC. The early deck and later note record LightRAG baselines of 64% and 66%, while both record an initial LivingKB result of 81%.
共性回到标品,领域逻辑留在应用Shared capabilities return to the product; domain logic stays with the application
语境图谱、检索与评测能力继续沉淀进 LivingKB 和 RAGFactory;该项目的学科分层、教材解析和做题逻辑服务于教育场景。让下一次交付拥有更成熟的通用底座,也保留面向业务重新设计的空间。Context Graph, retrieval, and evaluation capabilities continued to compound into LivingKB and RAGFactory. The subject hierarchy, textbook parsing, and practice logic remained specific to the education application, giving future projects a stronger shared foundation and room for business-specific design.
回看 Reflection
企业标品化的重要性Why standardization matters in enterprise products
DataArc 这段经历沉淀的经验:先从市场里找到共性问题,再把判断写进产品,用 POC 检查它,最后把交付中的共性能力沉淀回标品。My key takeaway from DataArc: identify recurring problems in the market, encode the product thesis, test it through POCs, and compound reusable capabilities from delivery back into the standard product.
