Debug RAG bottom-up: corpus, candidate recall, rank and cut, context use, answer shape, authorization. A sourced guide to chunking, hybrid search, reranking, evaluation and permissions, with five NKK models.
The published failure rates for AI and agent projects measure different things. Here is what the evidence supports, why pilots stall, and a six-gate scorecard for deciding what earns production funding.
NKK argues that much of RAG's headroom sits upstream of the model; no public source sizes the share. Four principal NKK models for readiness, pattern choice, trust and failure triage, built on cited evidence.
AI use is broad but shallow. This paper turns adoption and change research into four NKK models: an Adoption Ladder, Four Locks diagnostic, Task Frontier Map and Shadow-to-Sanctioned loop, with metrics.
