RAG is not grounded just because it retrieved something. Freshness governance is the real control.
Many teams treat RAG as 'it can search documents now', then assume the system has reliable knowledge. DepthPilot asks the harder questions: who owns the documents, when do they expire, how are versions governed, and what happens when freshness cannot be trusted?

RAG Freshness Governance
RAG is not grounded just because it retrieved something. Freshness governance is the real control.
LLM Evaluation Rubric
An LLM evaluation rubric is not scorecard theater. It drives repair order and launch decisions.
What This Path Builds
Why This Topic Matters
Why retrieval workflows still answer wrong
Retrieval can only choose among what exists. It does not know which documents are obsolete, which are drafts, and which should never appear in user-facing evidence.
Why This Topic Matters
What makes grounding real
Not just citations. Real grounding requires metadata, versioning, ownership, review cadence, and explicit stale-evidence behavior.
Why This Topic Matters
How DepthPilot makes it practical
We make the learner build a freshness register, refresh policy, and stale-content triage path instead of stopping at 'keep docs updated'.
Where To Go Next
Questions Learners Usually Ask
Does citing a document mean the answer is grounded?
No. Citation tells you what was used, not whether the source is still current or officially valid.
What should be governed first?
Start with source class, owner, review date, and expiry threshold, then define how the workflow behaves when stale evidence shows up.
