Evaluate a private document assistant that cites its sources and knows when to abstain.
Untested evaluation templateVersion 0.1.0No lab-verified results
Before running
Make the setup exact.
Model: Select an instruction model and record its exact revision and quantization before testing.
Stack: Local inference server + retrieval application. Select and pin versions before installation.
Record your hardware SKU, memory allocation, topology, dataset revision and thresholds. The downloaded manifest is a starting specification; it does not install software.
Platform documentationEvaluation plan
- Choose 20 non-confidential documents and write 20 questions with expected source passages. Include five questions the documents cannot answer.
- Select a runtime supported by your exact OS and accelerator. Record the model revision, embedding model, chunking settings and all application versions.
- Install following the runtime documentation; index the test documents. Confirm where files, embeddings and logs are stored.
- Run the fixed question set at one active request, then at your intended concurrency. Export answers, citations, timings and failures.
- Disconnect external network access for a repeat test if offline use is required. Document any remaining dependencies.
What counts as useful?
- Every factual answer points to a supporting passage.
- Record supported-answer and correct-abstention rates; set your acceptance thresholds before running.
- Record median and p95 first-token latency, full response time, concurrency and wall power.
Known limits
Retrieval quality can dominate model size.
