Most RAG systems don’t fail at generation. They fail at retrieval.
If the correct information is poorly chunked or ranked too low, even the best LLM cannot recover it.
Focus first on:
• Structure-aware chunking
• Retrieval quality and recall
• Testing the right retrieval depth
• Reducing noise and “lost in the middle” failures
Better retrieval improves accuracy, latency and cost.
RAG is a retrieval problem first—and a generation problem second.
