Your RAG system hits a 2% hallucination rate on your be...

Judging a system’s trustworthiness based on an aggregate hallucination rate is insufficient. The primary consideration must be the deployment context. If the RAG system is exposed to sensitive retrieved content, even a low hallucination rate might be unacceptable due to the risk of data leakage or misinformation in critical domains. Therefore, one must evaluate the specific risks associated with the data being retrieved before declaring the system trustworthy, as aggregate scores can mask significant safety failures.
