Question 730
A vector query returns similar documents but they are all from an old policy version. Which acceptance check should accompany the remediation?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Semantic closeness does not establish authority or recency; metadata governs applicability. The observation “Current published guidance outranks or excludes superseded content on test queries” directly confirms the chosen action worked for this situation: A vector query returns similar documents but they are all from an old policy version.
Incorrect Answers
Typed vector storage enables vector-specific operations; lexicographic text sorting is not semantic distance. This observation would not establish that the required result occurred for A vector query returns similar documents but they are all from an old policy version. The confirming test is: Current published guidance outranks or excludes superseded content on test queries.
Search quality cannot be demonstrated by one anecdotal hit; systematic evaluation exposes failure cases. This observation would not establish that the required result occurred for A vector query returns similar documents but they are all from an old policy version. The confirming test is: Current published guidance outranks or excludes superseded content on test queries.
RAG pipelines must retrieve and validate authoritative state before generation, not after sending speculative text. This observation would not establish that the required result occurred for A vector query returns similar documents but they are all from an old policy version. The confirming test is: Current published guidance outranks or excludes superseded content on test queries.
