RetrievalGate

For RAG systems already built

Find why retrieval fails — and which fix actually works.

Benchmark your current retrieval against realistic alternatives on your own data. See improvements, critical regressions and the exact configuration your team should implement.

The questions an audit answers

Make the change with evidence, or avoid it with confidence.

Should we switch embedding models?

Would hybrid retrieval recover our identifiers?

Is re-chunking the corpus worth the migration cost?

Does reranking improve retrieval enough to justify a production latency test?

Need a retrieval evaluation?

Measure whether the right source is found before judging the answer.

Retrieval evaluation isolates the context-selection problem from answer quality and makes query-level evidence visible.

Choosing an embedding model?

Compare it on your corpus before you re-index.

Keep the corpus, query set and retrieval conditions fixed so you can see which gains and regressions belong to the model.

Compare embeddings

Current → candidate → decision

Benchmark the fixes that can materially change retrieval.

RetrievalGate runs a bounded, opinionated comparison. The goal is enough evidence for a production choice, not an endless parameter search.

Bring real evidence when you have it

Queries plus relevant documents change the quality of the answer.

Add a CSV containing a query and its relevant document. RetrievalGate can then measure the failures that matter to your users instead of relying entirely on synthetic questions.
