Evaluation disclaimer (GlobalFixMap · Eval)
The Eval section describes patterns and tools for building evaluation loops around AI systems.
All example scores, thresholds and labels are illustrative and depend on the local environment in which they were produced.
They should be read as diagnostic hints and design patterns rather than as evidence that any specific model or system has been scientifically validated.
If you adopt these ideas, please re run the evaluations in your own stack, check sensitivity to configuration changes and document the limits of what your numbers actually support.

A hub to prove fixes actually work and won’t regress.
Use this folder when you want to validate that your RAG / LLM pipeline changes are stable, measurable, and reproducible.
The goal is to prevent “double hallucination,” enforce acceptance gates, and keep evaluation pipelines auditable.

---

What this page is

• A compact playbook to evaluate RAG quality and reasoning stability
• Drop-in guardrails that catch failures before users see them
• CI/CD-ready acceptance targets you can copy directly

---

When to use

• You shipped a fix but cannot show measurable improvement
• Answers look plausible but citations or snippets don’t match
• Performance flips between seeds, sessions, or agent mixes
• Latency tuning silently changes accuracy
• Your team disagrees on whether a fix is “actually better”

---

Open these first

• RAG precision/recall spec → eval_rag_precision_recall.md
• Latency versus accuracy method → eval_latency_vs_accuracy.md
• Cross-agent agreement tests → eval_cross_agent_consistency.md
• Semantic stability checks → eval_semantic_stability.md
• Why-this-snippet schema → retrieval-traceability.md
• Snippet & citation schema → data-contracts.md

Common evaluation pitfalls

• Double hallucination → Metrics look good (BLEU, ROUGE) but answers cite the wrong snippet
• Recall illusion → Top-k recall seems fine, yet ΔS(question, context) is still unstable
• Seed lottery → Success on one random seed hides instability across paraphrases
• Hybrid flapping → HyDE + BM25 mixes reorder results differently every run
• Over-clamping → Filters enforce tone but fail to fix logical drift
• Benchmark mismatch → Eval set ignores OCR noise or multilingual inputs
• No trace table → You cannot audit which snippet was cited

Fix in 60 seconds

1. Adopt acceptance gates

   • Retrieval sanity: token overlap ≥ 0.70 to the gold section
   • ΔS(question, context) ≤ 0.45 on median across suite
   • λ_observe stays convergent across 3 paraphrases

2. Require citations first

   • Enforce cite-then-answer with data-contracts.md
   • Log: question, retrieved ids, snippet spans, ΔS, λ

3. Stability before speed

   • Always measure latency vs accuracy before tuning
   • See eval_latency_vs_accuracy.md

4. Cross-agent cross-check

   • Run 2 strong models on the same retrieval
   • See eval_cross_agent_consistency.md

5. Regression fence in CI

   • Block merges if ΔS median > 0.45 or coverage < 0.70
   • See eval_rag_precision_recall.md

---

Minimal checklist

• Trace table saved (citations + snippet spans)
• ΔS computed per item; λ recorded at retrieval & reasoning
• Coverage ≥ 0.70 to gold snippet
• Cross-agent agreement tested
• Latency vs accuracy chart archived with run id

---

Acceptance targets

• ΔS(question, context) median ≤ 0.45
• λ convergent across 3 paraphrases
• Token overlap ≥ 0.70 to gold snippet
• No unexplained rank flips on hybrid retrievers
• CI blocks merges when targets fail

---

FAQ

Q: What is ΔS and why does it matter?
A: ΔS measures semantic distance between your query and retrieved context. Values above 0.45 indicate unstable retrieval, even if the snippet looks similar.

Q: Why not just trust BLEU/ROUGE?
A: They score surface similarity, not factual correctness. A fluent but wrong answer can pass BLEU. WFGY gates enforce snippet fidelity.

Q: What does λ_observe mean?
A: λ_observe tracks whether paraphrased queries converge on the same retrieval. Divergence shows instability that will confuse users.

Q: How do I build a trace table?
A: For every eval item, log question, retrieved ids, snippet spans, ΔS, λ_state. This makes your pipeline auditable later.

Q: Do I need a big eval set?
A: No. Start with 20 smoke-test items, including multilingual or noisy samples. Scale up only after you pass basic gates.

Q: What if latency tuning drops accuracy?
A: Always plot latency vs accuracy. Use the knee point of the curve, not the fastest or slowest configuration.
