RAGMedium· Retrieval· Diversity· Ambiguity

Your RAG system cites multiple credible sources for a query, yet the user wanted a different entity than the one retrieved. What is broken?

Credibility and diversity are independent axes. A system can be highly credible but fail to provide coverage for ambiguous queries. Simply increasing the number of sources or the retrieval ‘k’ does not solve the problem if the candidate pool remains concentrated on the same entity cluster.
