THE STARTING POINT

Three things to get right.

  1. Authorize retrieval against the requesting identity.
  2. Use synthetic data when evaluating prompts and tool behavior.
  3. Review where prompts, responses, and traces are stored.

TRY THIS WITH YOUR CUSTOMER

A question worth testing.

Customer objective: demonstrate retrieval boundaries for different audiences. Use synthetic document collections and two test groups, then show which documents each group is authorized to retrieve.

Give the customer a useful takeaway.

Start with a customer question and a clear success criterion. Capture the baseline, observed behavior, and evidence, then explain what the result means and which question to investigate next.
