A tutorial on building a deterministic three-tiered Graph-RAG system that combines a lightweight QuadStore knowledge graph with a ChromaDB vector database to reduce factual hallucinations. The architecture uses three priority layers: absolute graph facts (SPOC quads), statistical graph data, and vector documents as fallback.
