A RAG can be partitioned into two main parts: the retrieval component and the generation component. Each of these comprises several components with their own parameters that affect the overall outcome of the RAG.

You can choose from several metrics to evaluate your RAG. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Generic metrics can provide a fairly good idea about the performance of your RAG, but you should choose based on your use case. If your RAG is built for a particular field, you’ll want to pay close attention to optimizations that focus on the relevant keywords.
