# Eval Observability — ΔS Thresholds
A dedicated module for **ΔS monitoring** in evaluation pipelines.
ΔS = semantic distance between query, retrieved content, and gold anchor.
Tracking thresholds ensures that retrieval and reasoning quality remain **auditable, measurable, and comparable**.
---
## Why ΔS thresholds matter
- **Detect semantic drift**: High ΔS despite “correct” tokens indicates meaning mismatch.
- **Localize retrieval errors**: Low similarity in meaning even if vector scores look fine.
- **Evaluate reasoning robustness**: Stable models keep ΔS below the risk boundary across paraphrases.
- **Flag latent hallucinations**: ΔS >0.60 strongly correlates with unsupported answers.
---
## Core bands
| Band | Range | Meaning |
|------|-------|---------|
| **Stable** | ΔS < 0.40 | Retrieval and reasoning aligned. Answers should be correct and verifiable. |
| **Transitional** | 0.40 ΔS < 0.60 | Risk zone. Minor schema changes or index drift may flip outcomes. |
| **Critical** | ΔS 0.60 | High failure probability. Almost always linked to missing context or schema break. |
---
## Acceptance targets
- Per-query: **ΔS ≤ 0.45**
- Batch average: ** 0.40**
- Allowance: ** 10%** of queries can fall in the transitional band (0.400.60).
- Critical: **0% tolerance** for ΔS 0.60 in gold-set eval.
---
## ΔS in eval workflow
1. **Probe per query**
Log ΔS(question, retrieved) and ΔS(retrieved, anchor).
2. **Batch roll-up**
Compute mean, variance, and percentile distribution.
3. **Compare across seeds**
Run three paraphrases and two random seeds; check convergence.
4. **Drift alerting**
If ΔS rises >0.05 vs baseline, trigger retraining or schema audit.
---
## Example probe (pseudo)
```python
def deltaS_probe(query, retrieved, anchor):
d1 = deltaS(query, retrieved)
d2 = deltaS(retrieved, anchor)
return max(d1, d2)
for q in eval_set:
s = deltaS_probe(q.query, q.retrieved, q.anchor)
if s >= 0.60:
alerts.append({"qid": q.id, "ΔS": s, "status": "critical"})
````
---
## Common pitfalls
* **Using cosine similarity as ΔS** → ΔS is semantic distance, not raw vector score.
* **Ignoring anchor comparison** → must compute against both query and gold span.
* **No variance tracking** → averages hide volatility; variance is key.
* **One-shot eval** → without paraphrase/seed checks, thresholds lack reliability.
---
## Reporting recommendations
* **ΔS histogram**: visualize stability bands.
* **Trend line**: track ΔS mean per batch over time.
* **Baseline delta**: highlight drift from previous eval version.
* **Failure clustering**: group queries where ΔS ≥0.60 for root-cause analysis.
