# # Financial RAG Evaluation Harness
#
# **Docker image**: `ml4t`
#
# **Chapter 22: RAG for Financial Research** (Section 22.7)
#
# A RAG pipeline can fail in four unrelated ways - it can retrieve the wrong
# passages, invent claims the passages do not support, answer a question it
# should have refused, or do what an injected instruction told it to. One
# accuracy number cannot tell those apart, so this notebook builds a metric for
# each and runs all four over six fixtures chosen to trigger them.
#
# **What is being measured, and what is not.** The fixtures are written by
# hand: each carries a question, the passages a retriever would have returned,
# and the answer a model would have produced, all as literals. No model runs
# here. So the four scores below are properties of these six fixtures, and
# re-running the notebook cannot move them. What the run does test is the
# metric code - and it finds a defect in one of the metrics, which is the most
# useful thing in the notebook.
#
# **Learning objectives**
#
# After working through this notebook you will be able to:
#
# - Write separate metrics for retrieval, grounding, abstention and security,
#   and say which pipeline component each one implicates when it drops.
# - Recognise what a token-overlap faithfulness metric does to a correct
#   paraphrase, from a worked case in this run.
# - Read a composite score back to the components it blends, and say why the
#   weights are a choice rather than a measurement.
# - Build fixtures that fail closed when the corpus they quote changes.
#
# **Prerequisites**: the retrieval pipeline in
# [`03_hybrid_retrieval`](03_hybrid_retrieval.ipynb) and the prompting patterns
# in [`05_10k_rag_assistant`](05_10k_rag_assistant.ipynb).
#
# **Book reference**: Section 22.7, on the three RAG failure modes - retrieval,
# context and synthesis - and the metrics that separate them.

# rather than produced, which is what makes the metrics testable.

# construction instead of scoring against a sentence that no longer says what
# its label claims.

#
# One when every gold term appears somewhere in the concatenated retrieved
# chunks, zero otherwise. Binary rather than graded because a missing term
# means the answer cannot be grounded, whatever the other terms did.

#

# unsupported. Section 4 shows what this metric does to a paraphrase.

#

# Where a false positive appears above, read the last line of it. The answer is
# correct, cited, and drawn from the passages printed directly beneath it, and
# the terms the metric could not find fall into four kinds:
#
# - the citation marker the answer was required to carry;
# - morphological variants - a noun where the filing used the verb;
# - a hyphenation difference;
# - the name of the company the question is about, which a passage retrieved
#   for a question about that company has no reason to repeat.
#
# None of those is an unsupported claim, and a token-overlap faithfulness
# metric cannot tell them from one. It rewards copying and penalises
# paraphrase, which is the opposite of what grounding a claim in evidence is
# for. Stemming, dropping citation markers before tokenising, and scoring
# claims rather than tokens each narrow the gap; an entailment model closes it,
# at a model call per claim.
#
# Raising `UNSUPPORTED_CLAIM_THRESHOLD` catches more real cases and more false
# ones; lowering it does the reverse, and at a low enough setting this
# particular false positive disappears without the metric having improved. That
# is the argument for reading the row-level table rather than the security
# score: the score cannot tell you which of the two you changed.

# Four numbers, one per failure mode. Two of them are blends, and the weights
# in those blends are a choice with nothing behind them - an even split was
# picked because there was no reason to pick anything else. The components are
# printed beside each blend for that reason: a composite that moves says only
# that something moved, and the part that moved is what a reviewer needs.

# %% [markdown]
# Retrieval stands at the top of its scale and the other three do not, which is
# the harness doing its job: every gold term was retrieved for every answerable
# question, and the answers built on those passages still lose points. The
# section above says which of those losses were the fixtures failing as
# designed and which were the metric.

# %% [markdown]
# ## Key takeaways
#
# 1. **A token-overlap faithfulness metric penalises paraphrase.** Section 4
#    takes apart the one case in this run: a correct, cited answer scored below
#    the threshold because it wrote *imitation* where the filing wrote
#    *imitating*, *low-cost* where the filing wrote *low cost*, and carried the
#    citation marker it was required to carry. Nothing it said was unsupported.
#    Any metric built on shared tokens rewards copying, and a pipeline tuned
#    against one will learn to copy.
#
# 2. **Separate the failure modes, then keep them separate.** Retrieval,
#    grounding, abstention and security fail independently and are fixed in
#    different places, so one accuracy number cannot route the work. This is
#    also the argument against the two composites in section 5: they were
#    blended evenly because there was no basis for any other weight, so a
#    movement in either has to be read back to a component before it means
#    anything.
#
# 3. **Slice before you average.** The security score here mixes one genuine
#    injection with one metric false positive. The row-level table separates
#    them; the aggregate names neither.
#
# 4. **Retrieval fidelity is not a guardrail.** The injection fixture retrieved
#    exactly what it was supposed to and still produced an unsafe action,
#    because the instruction was inside the retrieved passage. Refusal has to
#    be a separate decision, not a consequence of retrieving well.
#
# 5. **These numbers are properties of six hand-written fixtures.** No model
#    ran. The fixtures test that the metric code fires when it should, which is
#    the prerequisite for pointing it at a pipeline - and it is where the
#    defect in takeaway 1 turned up.
#
# **Next**: [`05_10k_rag_assistant`](05_10k_rag_assistant.ipynb) builds a RAG
# pipeline over real filings that these metrics can be pointed at.
