Rebuilding a financial mentor retrieval system from scratch using the RAG stack reveals key lessons on hybrid search, CRAG, and adversarial evaluation

advanced Published 21 May 2026
Action Steps
  1. Build a basic RAG pipeline using GraphRAG
  2. Configure hybrid search to combine multiple retrieval methods
  3. Implement CRAG to improve retrieval accuracy
  4. Conduct adversarial evaluation to test system robustness
  5. Optimize the system using lessons learned from the RAG stack
