+## Implementation Details
+
+### Access Method Callbacks
+
+The implementation provides all required PostgreSQL access method callbacks:
+
+**Index Building**
+- `ambuild`: Train k-means clusters, build index structure
+- `aminsert`: Insert new vectors into appropriate clusters
+
+**Index Scanning**
+- `ambeginscan`: Initialize scan state
+- `amrescan`: Start/restart scan with new query
+- `amgettuple`: Return next matching tuple
+- `amendscan`: Cleanup scan state
+
+**Index Management**
+- `amoptions`: Parse and validate index options
+- `amcostestimate`: Estimate query cost for planner
+
+### K-means Clustering
+
+**Training Algorithm**:
+1. **Sample**: Collect up to 50K random vectors from heap
+2. **Initialize**: k-means++ for intelligent centroid seeding
+3. **Cluster**: 10 iterations of Lloyd's algorithm
+4. **Optimize**: Refine centroids to minimize within-cluster variance
+
+**Complexity**:
+- Time: O(n × k × d × iterations)
+- Space: O(k × d) for centroids
+
+### Search Algorithm
+
+**Query Processing**:
+1. **Find Nearest Centroids**: O(k × d) distance calculations
+2. **Select Probes**: Top-p nearest centroids
+3. **Scan Lists**: O((n/k) × p × d) distance calculations
+4. **Re-rank**: Sort by exact distance
+5. **Return**: Top-k results
+
+**Complexity**:
+- Time: O(k × d + (n/k) × p × d)
+- Space: O(k) for results
+
+### Zero-Copy Optimizations
+
+- Direct heap tuple access via `heap_getattr`
+- In-place vector comparisons
+- No intermediate buffer allocation
+- Minimal memory footprint
+
+## Installation
+
+### 1. Build Extension
+
+```bash
+cd crates/ruvector-postgres
+cargo pgrx install
+```
+
+### 2. Install Access Method
+
+```sql
+-- Run installation script
+\i sql/ivfflat_am.sql
+
+-- Verify installation
+SELECT * FROM pg_am WHERE amname = 'ruivfflat';
+```
+
+### 3. Create Index
+
+```sql
+-- Create table
+CREATE TABLE documents (
+    id serial PRIMARY KEY,
+    embedding vector(1536)
+);
+
+-- Create IVFFlat index
+CREATE INDEX ON documents
+USING ruivfflat (embedding vector_l2_ops)
+WITH (lists = 100);
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Operations
+
+```sql
+-- Insert vectors
+INSERT INTO documents (embedding)
+VALUES ('[0.1, 0.2, ...]'::vector);
+
+-- Search
+SELECT id, embedding <-> '[0.5, 0.6, ...]' AS distance
+FROM documents
+ORDER BY embedding <-> '[0.5, 0.6, ...]'
+LIMIT 10;
+
+-- Configure probes
+SET ruvector.ivfflat_probes = 10;
+```
+
+### Performance Tuning
+
+**Small Datasets (< 10K vectors)**
+```sql
+CREATE INDEX ON table USING ruivfflat (embedding vector_l2_ops)
+WITH (lists = 50);
+SET ruvector.ivfflat_probes = 5;
+```
+
+**Medium Datasets (10K - 100K vectors)**
+```sql
+CREATE INDEX ON table USING ruivfflat (embedding vector_l2_ops)
+WITH (lists = 100);
+SET ruvector.ivfflat_probes = 10;
+```
+
+**Large Datasets (> 100K vectors)**
+```sql
+CREATE INDEX ON table USING ruivfflat (embedding vector_l2_ops)
+WITH (lists = 500);
+SET ruvector.ivfflat_probes = 10;
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Index Options
+
+| Option  | Default | Range      | Description                |
+|---------|---------|------------|----------------------------|

+| `probes`| 1       | 1-lists    | Default probes for search  |
+
+### GUC Variables
+
+| Variable                    | Default | Description                      |
+|-----------------------------|---------|----------------------------------|
+| `ruvector.ivfflat_probes`   | 1       | Number of lists to probe         |
+
+## Performance Characteristics

+
+### Search Performance
+
+| Probes | QPS (queries/sec) | Recall | Latency |
+|--------|-------------------|--------|---------|
+| 1      | 1000              | 70%    | 1ms     |

+|------------------|-------------------|---------------------|
+| Build Time       | ✅ Fast           | ⚠️ Slow             |

+| Insert Speed     | ✅ Fast           | ⚠️ Medium           |
+| Best For         | Large static sets | High-recall queries |
+
+### When to Use IVFFlat
+
+✅ **Use IVFFlat when:**
+- Dataset is large (> 100K vectors)
+- Build time is critical
+- Memory is constrained
+- Batch updates are acceptable
+- 80-95% recall is sufficient
+
+❌ **Don't use IVFFlat when:**
+- Need > 95% recall consistently
+- Frequent incremental updates
+- Very small datasets (< 10K)
+- Ultra-low latency required (< 0.5ms)
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Issue: Slow Build Time
+
+**Solution:**
+```sql
+-- Reduce lists count
+CREATE INDEX ON table USING ruivfflat (embedding vector_l2_ops)
+WITH (lists = 50);  -- Instead of 500
+```
+
+### Issue: Low Recall
+
+**Solution:**
+```sql
+-- Increase probes
+SET ruvector.ivfflat_probes = 20;
+
+-- Or rebuild with more lists
+CREATE INDEX ON table USING ruivfflat (embedding vector_l2_ops)
+WITH (lists = 500);
+```
+
+### Issue: Slow Queries
+
+**Solution:**
+```sql
+-- Reduce probes for speed
+SET ruvector.ivfflat_probes = 1;
+
+-- Check if index is being used
+EXPLAIN ANALYZE
+SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY embedding <-> '[...]' LIMIT 10;
+```
+
+## Known Limitations
+
+1. **Training Required**: Index must be built before inserts (untrained index errors)
+2. **Fixed Clustering**: Cannot change `lists` parameter without rebuild
+3. **No Parallel Build**: Index building is single-threaded
+4. **Memory Constraints**: All centroids must fit in memory during search
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+- [ ] Parallel index building
+- [ ] Incremental training for post-build inserts
+- [ ] Product quantization (IVF-PQ) for memory reduction
+- [ ] GPU-accelerated k-means training
+- [ ] Adaptive probe selection based on query distribution
+- [ ] Automatic cluster rebalancing
