RAG evaluation basics for product teams
A practical, lightweight way to evaluate retrieval before you ship.
Before you begin
You’ll need a modern browser, a small sample dataset and about 30 minutes of focused time.
Step 1 · Frame the problem
A retrieval-augmented system is only useful when the context it retrieves helps the model answer the question. Begin with a small representative test set, label the expected sources, and measure both retrieval recall and answer faithfulness.
Step 2 · Test the smallest useful version
Work with a representative example first. Write down what good looks like, then test one assumption at a time.
