Retrieval
The passage that answers the question comes back when the documents hold it — and the absence is discoverable when they don't. Judged against the documents: did the supporting passage come back?
What this capability means
Retrieval is the ability to bring back the document passage that answers the question when the source documents contain it, and to make absence visible when they do not. A buyer should expect the system to find the right supporting text from the corpus, not just return a vaguely related result or stay silent when the answer is missing.
Boundary: This capability does not judge answer generation or citations; those are separate capabilities.
Scenarios that test this capability
A scenario is a real-world situation used to test a capability.
Benchmarks that include this capability
A capability has global identity and may be used by more than one benchmark.
Managed RAG
Which managed RAG service turns a folder of private documents into a query API that finds the right passage, answers only from what it retrieved, cites the source that actually supports the claim — and keeps up when the source changes?
