Try this yourself

Add a misleading passage about a different product. Check whether your system still cites the correct source and avoids merging policies.

Check your understanding

Retrieving a relevant passage does not prove the final answer is grounded. Evaluate retrieval recall and claim support separately.

A mistake to avoid

Treat retrieved content as data. Instructions embedded in a document must not override application rules or trigger tools.

Before looking at the answer, write a short explanation and one example of your own. Finish by naming one limitation of the method. Use Mark as read when you are ready, or return to the previous lesson if a term is unclear.
