Evaluating RAG

RAG evaluation checks both retrieval quality and final answer quality so you know where failures begin.

What it is

RAG evaluation checks both retrieval quality and final answer quality so you know where failures begin.

Why it matters

This concept appears repeatedly when building practical Gen AI systems, especially when moving from demos to reliable products.

How it works

Learn the concept, build a tiny example, connect it to nearby roadmap topics, and then apply it inside a real AI project.

Common mistakes

  • Learning the definition without building an example.
  • Skipping logs and tests.
  • Treating the model output as reliable without validation.

Best practices

  • Build one focused exercise.
  • Link the concept to RAG, agents, or production workflows.
  • Write down failure cases as future evals.

FAQ
