01
Retrieval before generation
If the right evidence is not retrieved, a better prompt rarely fixes the underlying problem.
02
Citations must support the claim
A source link is useful only when it actually supports the sentence the user is relying on.
03
Conflicts need a workflow
Policies change and product pages disagree. The system should surface conflicts rather than silently choose.
04
Evaluation is continuous
Golden questions, adversarial cases and regression checks should evolve with the knowledge base.
