Overview

High Precision Mode (HPM) is an advanced functionality of MAIA that is exclusively available to Professional and Enterprise customers. Unlike the standard mode, which delivers fast answers through information synthesis, HPM produces slower but critically reviewed answers with comprehensive source validation.

Core Functionalities of High Precision Mode

HPM differs fundamentally from standard mode through four central functions:

1. Active Contradiction Detection: Identifies and explicitly names conflicts between different document sources

2. Exact Source Citations: Supports every statement with precise references to the original documents

3. Reliability Assessment: Evaluates and explains the trustworthiness of different information sources

4. In-Depth Analysis: Goes beyond pure answer synthesis and critically examines information

Activating High Precision Mode

Step-by-Step Guide

Prerequisite: Active Professional or Enterprise Plan

1. Navigate to your MAIA chat interface

2. The HPM toggle is located next to the model switcher in the chat interface

   

3. Click on the HPM toggle to activate the mode

4. Formulate your question in the chat input field and attached the relevant documents

Best practice: HPM + Standard Mode

To get the best possible benefit from MAIA, we generally recommend starting requests in standard mode. There you can specify your requirements and your task together with MAIA. Then submit your target request with the selected documents and MAIA will provide you with a targeted answer. In the next step, select High Precision Mode and have your answer specifically reviewed against your requirements. This way you combine MAIA's speed with HPM's precision.

Tips for Questions in HPM

Optimal Question Formulation

To fully leverage the strengths of High Precision Mode, consider the following recommendations:

✅ Recommended

• Ask specific, precise questions

  Example: "What temperature limits are defined in specification XY-2024 for component Z, and are there deviating specifications in other technical documents?"

• Explicitly ask for source comparisons

  Example: "Compare the compliance requirements from documents A and B regarding GDPR Article 32."

• Request critical validation

  Example: "Check the consistency of security requirements across all product documentations."

❌ Less suitable

• General knowledge questions without direct document reference

• Creative or explorative requests

• Time-critical questions where speed has priority

Primary Use Case Scenarios

1. Compliance and Regulatory Requests

Scenario: Review of GDPR compliance in privacy policies

Example request:

"Analyze our privacy policy version 3.2 and the processing register for compliance with GDPR Art. 30. Identify contradictions or gaps."

HPM Added Value:

• Detects inconsistencies between different compliance documents

• Provides exact article and paragraph references

• Evaluates reliability of different document versions

2. Technical Specifications with Critical Details

Scenario: Validation of mechanical engineering specifications for production release

Example request:

"Compare the tolerance specifications for component M-447 in the construction drawing Rev. 5 with the specifications in the manufacturing manual Chapter 8.3. Are there any deviations?"

HPM Added Value:

• Identifies critical deviations in technical parameters

• Documents precise source citations for audit purposes

• Evaluates currency and priority of different specification documents

3. Business-Critical Decision Foundations

Scenario: Investment decision based on market analyses

Example request:

"Analyze the market forecasts from the Q1-Q3 reports and identify contradictory statements regarding brand development in the DACH region."

HPM Added Value:

• Detects contradictions in different analysis documents

• Evaluates reliability based on data sources and methodology

• Provides well-founded basis for critical decisions

4. Creation of Official Documentation

Scenario: Compilation of release notes from multiple development documents

Example request:

"Extract all feature descriptions for Release 2.5 from the sprint documentations and check for consistency with the Product Requirements Document."

HPM Added Value:

• Validates information across multiple sources

• Identifies inconsistencies before publication

• Provides traceable source citations for every statement

Comparison: Standard Mode vs. High Precision Mode

When Should You Use HPM?

✅ Activate High Precision Mode for:

• Compliance reviews and regulatory requests

• Technical specifications with safety-critical details

• Preparation of business-critical decisions

• Creation of official, publication-required documentations

• Quality assurance and audit preparation

• Validation of information from multiple sources

⚡ Prefer Standard Mode for:

• Quick information queries

• Explorative research

• Brainstorming and creative tasks

• General knowledge questions

• Time-critical requests

Practical Tips for Maximum Precision

1. Optimize Document Selection

Ensure that all relevant documents are uploaded to MAIA and available for the request.

2. Provide Context

Include relevant context in your request:

"In the context of ISO 9001:2015 certification: Check..."

3. Reference Specific Document Versions

"Compare version 2.3 with version 3.1 of the manual..."

4. Explicitly Ask for Contradictions

"Identify all contradictions between..."

5. Define Validation Scope

"Check exclusively chapters 5-7 for consistency with..."

Frequently Asked Questions about High Precision Mode

How do I recognize that HPM is active?

The HPM switch is located in the input window next to the model selection. If it is activated, this is visually indicated.

Can I switch HPM during a conversation?

Yes. HPM can be switched on or off individually for each request within a conversation.

Are HPM requests billed differently?

100 requests per month are available per user. If higher capacity is needed, contact your contact person or the sales team.

Which file types are supported in HPM?

HPM works with all file types supported by MAIA. PDFs, TXT, DOCX und PPTX. CSVs are also available on demand.

Conclusion

High Precision Mode is your tool for business-critical requests where accuracy, traceability, and source validation are crucial. Through the combination of active contradiction detection, exact source citations, reliability assessment, and in-depth analysis, HPM provides the foundation for well-informed decisions and quality-assured documentations.
