Straight answer: RAG Evaluation: What We Measure Before Production for Mid-Market Teams — a field note from Shriram IT Ventures for engineering and product leads who need decisions, not another framework essay.

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

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

Build checklist we actually use

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

Failure modes we keep seeing

Teams that write trade-offs down before coding burn fewer sprints when a stakeholder changes their mind mid-build. We keep ADRs short on purpose.

How we measure rollout

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

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