RAG Retest and Evidence Flow
A retrieval failure is closed only after corpus, ranking, policy, or action controls are changed and replayed.
RAG remediation lifecycle from failure reproduction through corpus or policy change, replay, evidence review, and closure or residual state.
RAG retest lifecycle
- 1Reproduce the failureCapture query, retrieved content, ranking, prompt assembly, model output, and action state.
- 2Identify the control boundaryDetermine whether the failure arises in ingest, retrieval, isolation, provenance, prompt assembly, or action policy.
- 3Change the controlUpdate corpus, ranking, metadata, tenant policy, prompt policy, or tool policy.
- 4Replay the scenarioUse the original and adversarial variants under the changed system.
- 5Review the evidenceConfirm the intended boundary and inspect alternative failure paths.
