Build a RAG Pipeline Trace Simulator
Create a small simulator that takes a user scenario and produces an execution trace with route, filters, sources, gates, answer status, and recommended next action.
Project depthThe simulator should prove whether the pipeline is answer-ready, needs retry, must refuse, or should escalate. This is how production teams turn RAG behavior into inspectable engineering data.
1 Model pipeline stages
Represent route, filters, retrieval, reranking, context assembly, gates, answer policy, and trace.
2 Add gate logic
Detect stale index, missing source family, denied access, weak retrieval, and high-risk incomplete evidence.
3 Produce decision trace
Return answer status, failed gates, source ids, route reason, and recommended next action.
