  text: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) based on large language models (LLMs)
    has established itself as a key technology for combining domain-specific information
    with generative language skills, thereby providing transparent, up-to-date information.
    Many firms are already piloting such LLM-based information systems, but report
    a high degree of complexity in planning and implementation. A generally accepted
    regulatory framework that consistently maps key decisions is not yet available
    to companies. This article therefore presents a multi-level system that organizes
    design decisions throughout the configuration process. This framework is intended
    to support users in the planning, realizing, evaluation, and further development
    of an LLM-based information system. To achieve this goal, a qualitative-empirical
    research design was chosen. First, publications from the period 2022 to 2025 were
    identified and selected using a systematic literature search in accordance with
    the PRISMA guideline. The selected publications were then evaluated using a qualitative
    content analysis. The result is a system that was reviewed, revised and finalized
    at an expert workshop.
