RAG & Context Engineering¶
A practical field guide to assembling the right evidence for the right model decision.
The map¶
This book treats retrieval as one part of a wider context system spanning source strategy, ingestion, ranking, assembly, evaluation, and operations.
01 · Context strategyDefine what the model needs to know and why.
02 · Ingestion & indexingTurn changing source material into traceable retrieval units.
03 · Retrieval & rankingFind, filter, and order candidate evidence.
04 · Context assemblyBudget, structure, and present evidence for generation.
05 · EvaluationMeasure relevance, groundedness, freshness, and outcomes.
