Tested chunking + embeddings data from 3 production websites. [P]
Summary
Tested chunking and embeddings across three production websites for RAG retrieval, finding that a yield score (ratio of high/medium chunks) predicts corpus quality and reranking effectiveness.

"Most RAG benchmarks lie about real-world corpora." Test data from 3 production websites.
This article argues that most RAG benchmarks are misleading because they assume uniform corpus quality, while real-world corpora vary significantly in content density. Using data from three production websites, it shows that a tiered approach and a 'yield score' can better predict retrieval effectiveness.
