For
People diagnosing RAG system failures
Worth noticing
The guide separates failures before search, during search, and after relevant text is retrieved.

Field notes

The cases distinguish failures that can look similar in practice: an answer may be lost at a chunk boundary, an identifier may need keyword matching, or a retrieved passage may be mishandled later in the process. The page specifically treats corrupted PDF tables as a reader problem, and suggests attaching dates when sources disagree. It says the project’s values were measured on a real corpus.
