Field notes from Shriram IT Ventures delivery work on RAG Evaluation: What We Measure Before Production: the constraints that matter, the shortcuts that haunt you, and a checklist we still use.

Who this is for

Instrument the happy path and the ugly path. Silent failures are what turn a launch into a weekend incident.

Decisions that still look smart in 18 months

Use boring technology where the risk is operational. Save novelty for the one wedge that makes the product worth buying.

Build checklist we actually use

Ship a thin vertical slice, measure, then widen. Big-bang rewrites rarely survive the first month of real traffic.

Failure modes we keep seeing

Ignore the buzzwords. For RAG Evaluation: What We Measure Before Production, the hard constraint is usually data ownership or ops capacity — not how many features fit on a roadmap slide.

How we measure rollout

Instrument the happy path and the ugly path. Silent failures are what turn a launch into a weekend incident.

We update this when delivery patterns change on live client work.
