Assessment: RAG Engineering

Explain

• When should you use RAG instead of fine-tuning?
• What makes chunking difficult?
• How do metadata filters improve retrieval?
• How do you evaluate retrieval?
• How do you reduce hallucination in RAG?

Build

• Design a document ingestion pipeline.
• Design a citation system.
• Design access control for private documents.

Debug

• The correct document is not retrieved. What do you check?
• The answer cites the wrong source. What do you check?
• Retrieval is slow. What do you optimize?

Completion Gate

• Can build a RAG prototype.
• Can evaluate retrieval.
• Can enforce document access control.
