2948 questions of the kind that actually get asked — in interviews, in architecture review boards, and by the person who has to run the thing at 3 AM. Every answer states the trade-off rather than the slogan, and says when the obvious choice is the wrong one.

Chunking & Retrieval advanced
Review this ingestion pipeline. An HR assistant covers 4200 policy documents totalling about 9 million tokens. Ingestion runs a semantic chunker, generates three hypothetical questions per chunk and embeds those too, ensembles two embedding models, builds a knowledge graph of entity links, and adds a parent-document store. The nightly rebuild takes 11 hours and one engineer maintains all of it. Retrieval quality has never been measured. What would you remove and what would you keep?
