Retrieval-Augmented
Generation (RAG) Testing

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, standard black-box evaluations are insufficient ; silent subcomponent failures must be isolated at the root cause.

Typical Failure Modes

What output-based metrics conceal that do not take components into consideration:

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 valdiates object detection systems

Domain information and operational design domain (ODD)

Every validation cycle defines an explicit operational boundaries envelope: 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 operating domain 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, and rephrasing)
Retrieval drift (performance consistency across expanding knowledge bases over time)

Acceptance Criteria

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 faith, 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 evaluation of object detection systems produces:

A per-dimension breakdown across every defined sub-group and metric, surfacing silent failure modes.

A diagnostic identifying where the model underperforms its acceptance criteria.

A traceable, repeatable evidence package supporting deployment decisions and external audit requirements.

A data quality breakdown, surfacing uncertainty with respect to measurements. Potentially informing where more test data is needed to be more confident.
