Example Output: RAG Knowledge Ops RAG Context Pack
Inputs used
- Project context: a support answer engine grounded in product docs and release notes
- Target audience: AI engineers, knowledge managers, legal ops, support ops
- Success metric: activation, quality, and risk reduction
- Available tools and data: vector database, document parser, reranker, eval set, access control list
- Desired depth: Production-ready
- Output tone: Clear operator memo
Generated Result
source policy, chunking plan, retrieval prompt, citation rules, and freshness checks
Source inventory
Rank sources by authority before retrieval. Chunk around task intent rather than page boundaries, and require every answer to cite the exact source segment used for source documents.
Chunking strategy
Rank sources by authority before retrieval. Chunk around task intent rather than page boundaries, and require every answer to cite the exact source segment used for chunk samples.
Retrieval query plan
Create at least 12 golden tasks: 6 normal cases, 3 edge cases, and 3 adversarial cases targeting overly broad chunks. A passing result must cite the evidence source and state confidence.
Citation contract
Rank sources by authority before retrieval. Chunk around task intent rather than page boundaries, and require every answer to cite the exact source segment used for citation audits.
Failure handling
Use source documents as evidence, apply the constraint "freshness policy", and explicitly note how the plan reduces stale retrieval. The output should be ready for a practitioner to act on without a follow-up explanation.
Evaluation set
Create at least 12 golden tasks: 6 normal cases, 3 edge cases, and 3 adversarial cases targeting citation mismatch. A passing result must cite the evidence source and state confidence.
Recommended Decision
Proceed with a narrow pilot focused on source documents and chunk samples. Treat stale retrieval as the primary launch blocker. The first milestone should prove that the workflow produces a usable RAG blueprint, source policy, and retrieval eval plan with clear evidence, named owners, and a review path for ambiguous cases.
Expected quality checks
- The result is specific to RAG ingestion, retrieval quality, citation design, and knowledge base governance.
- It includes the required sections: Source inventory, Chunking strategy, Retrieval query plan, Citation contract, Failure handling, Evaluation set.
- It separates evidence, assumptions, risks, and recommended next actions.
- It includes practical verification steps, not only generic advice.
- It names the most important failure mode for this domain: stale retrieval.
Reuse note
Before copying the output into production work, replace all default variables with your real data and run a human review for high-impact decisions.
