RAG Systems

QuantPi provides deep, component-level testing of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures across enterprise environments. These systems combine an information-retrieval pipeline with a generative language model to provide answers grounded in a designated corporate knowledge base. Where outputs drive downstream decision-making with strict legal, financial, or operational consequences, silent subcomponent failures must be isolated at the root cause.

Typical Failure Modes

What output-only metrics miss when subcomponents are ignored

Retriever and Extractor Omissions
Failure to locate relevant info chunks within the source corpus or ignoring valid content during generation.
Noise Propagation
Compounding errors where the extraction layer fails to filter out irrelevant retrieved text context, directly polluting the final response.
Knowledge Bias & Hallucinations
Generating ungrounded or fabricated factual assertions derived from the model’s internal weights rather than retrieved evidence.

How QuantPi validates RAG systems

Domain Information and Operational Design Domain

Every validation cycle defines an explicit operational design domain (ODD): input document topology (e.g. multi-column slides, process manuals, FAQs), query distribution patterns, structural chunking constraints, and target retrieval parameters.

Dimensional Decomposition

The safety- and quality-relevant dimensions derived from the ODD cluster into six axes along which performance is measured:

Subcomponent alignment: Isolating retrieval weaknesses from generative flaws.
Context relevance: Precision and completeness of retrieved text chunks.
Faithfulness: Factual grounding of the output within the source context.
Answer relevance: Direct alignment of the final response to user intent.
Robustness to query perturbations: Stability under typos, semantic drift, abbreviations and rephrasing.
Retrieval drift: Performance consistency across expanding knowledge bases over time.

Acceptance Criteria

Acceptance criteria are predefined, measurable performance thresholds the system must meet on each tested dimension to qualify for deployment. For RAG use cases, these are typically evaluation metrics (including faithfulness, recall, and precision scores) measured per knowledge domain, with stricter thresholds enforced on compliance-heavy or high-risk topics.

Deployment Decision

Models meeting all critical thresholds are cleared for deployment; partial failures trigger "guided development" by localizing the exact subcomponent (retriever or generator) requiring optimization.

Driving Real-World Impact with Trusted AI

Real-world examples of how companies use QuantPi to build trustworthy AI — from identifying weaknesses to achieving reliable, production-grade performance

QuantPi's RAG evaluation produces:

A root-cause diagnostic map, explicitly isolating end-to-end pipeline failure points across atomic information-flow states.

A recommendation with concrete next steps per failure mode (prompt, chunk size, retriever, reranker, model), sliced by relevant metadata for your domain.

A traceable, repeatable evidence package supporting deployment decisions and compliance tracking.

Applied across corporate compliance, financial research, and enterprise knowledge management contexts.
