Today, preparing a new benchmark to be indexed for our new RAG evaluation task. I asked the agent to write the corpus transformer and it came back clean: parsed the XML, mapped every field, ran green. On a small dataset I'd have shipped it.
Trust in AI is built on transparency. Every extracted field carries a citation back to the exact source passage, and the full extraction set is scored against a benchmark. They answer different questions, at different moments. The benchmark answers whether the pipeline is good enough to ship; that is my question, once, before release. The citation answers where a specific number came from; that is the user's question, every day after.
