Verticals
Verticals Overview
What verticals are and how self-service schema registration works.
Verticals
A vertical is a namespace for your data. It defines what kind of entities you're storing and what fields they have. QANATIX is vertical-agnostic — you create any vertical for any industry.
How it works
- You register a vertical with a JSON schema
- You ingest data into that vertical
- QANATIX validates incoming data against your schema
- You search within that vertical
Each vertical gets its own Qdrant collection (vector index) and schema validation. Verticals are scoped to your tenant — other tenants can't see or access your verticals.
Built-in vs custom
QANATIX ships with no built-in verticals. Every vertical is created by you. This means:
- No assumptions about your data structure
- No industry-specific code in the engine
- Full control over field names and types
- Same search quality regardless of domain
Example verticals

energy | Equipment specs, grid data |
legal | Regulations, case law |
