Retrieval returns the five most relevant chunks. Two of them disagree. Now what?
This is the failure mode nobody writes an eval for, and it’s everywhere in enterprise data. Relevance ranking has no opinion about truth — so the model picks whichever source it read first, or quietly blends both into an answer that exists in neither document.
Four patterns, four different fixes:
Same fact, different dates. The 2024 policy and the 2026 revision both match. Prefer the newer and say which version the answer came from. If you can’t tell which is newer, that’s a metadata bug, not a model bug.
Different scopes. A global policy and a country-specific exception. The narrower source wins, and the answer should name the scope it applied.
Draft vs approved. A shared draft ranks just as well as the signed version. Filter by status at index time — asking the model to notice “DRAFT” in a header works until it doesn’t.
Genuinely contradictory. Two approved, current, in-scope sources that disagree. Don’t average them and don’t pick. Surface both, show the citations, and escalate. The honest answer is that your documentation has a conflict, and the AI just found it.
The common thread: recency, scope and status have to be metadata you can filter on. If they only exist as words inside the text, you’ve made truth a ranking problem.
“It feels fast” is a p50 statement. Churn is written at p95.
Illustrative distribution for 10,000 requests through a 3-step agent:
→ p50: 2.1s
→ p75: 3.4s
→ p90: 6.8s
→ p95: 11.2s
→ p99: 28.5s
The median looks great. Meanwhile 1 in 20 sessions waits eleven seconds and 1 in 100 waits almost half a minute — and those aren’t random users. They’re disproportionately the ones with the biggest documents, the longest histories, the most tool calls. Your best accounts live in the tail.
Three things that matter once you start looking at percentiles instead of averages:
Tails multiply in multi-step systems. A request that hits p90 on each of three steps isn’t a p90 request — it’s p99-shaped. Measuring each step separately hides this; you need end-to-end timing per route.
A single slow dependency sets your tail. One retrieval call without a timeout, one provider having a bad five minutes, and the whole distribution stretches.
The fixes are boring and they work. Per-step deadlines, a cheaper fallback path when the budget is blown, visible progress so a long wait feels like work rather than a hang.
Alert on p95. The average will tell you everything is fine right up until renewal.

Your product is good. For a new enterprise customer, it starts out mediocre again. 🧊
Their documents are formatted differently, their teams use vocabulary your retrieval has never seen, and their definition of a correct answer isn’t quite anyone else’s. The generic system that delights your existing users lands at “it’s okay” in their first week.
A first 30 days that works: days 1 to 3 collecting their real documents and real queries. Days 4 to 10 building an eval set of 50 to 100 cases they agree define correct. Days 11 to 20 tuning retrieval, prompts and thresholds against that set. Days 21 to 30 running in shadow mode beside their current process, then launching.
The eval set is the part that matters most. It makes quality a number you can both see, instead of an argument in a QBR.
Onboarding an AI product isn’t configuration. It’s calibration. 🎚

Your product works beautifully on the twelve examples you wrote while building it. That’s the problem. 🎭
Those inputs are clean, well-formed and shaped by someone who knows how the system works. Real users paste half a table from Excel, leave fields blank, write in three languages at once and ask things you never considered a use case.
In this illustrative example, the same task passes 94% on an internal demo set, 81% on samples hand-picked by a design partner, 63% on real production traffic in week one and 58% by month three, as users get more creative.
The gap isn’t a model problem. It’s a sampling problem: you measured on a distribution nobody actually sends you.
Sample your eval set from production logs, weighted by how often each input type really appears. The score will drop. That’s the point. 📉
Your provider gets slow. Your retries turn that into an outage. ⚡
It's one of the most common incident patterns in AI products. Latency rises, requests start timing out, and every client retries up to three times. Traffic to an already struggling provider multiplies exactly when it can least handle it, and recovery takes far longer than the original problem.
In this illustrative incident, retrying on every failure pushes 100 requests per second to more than 500. With a retry budget that caps retries at 10% of normal traffic, load barely moves above 110.
Three things keep retries safe: a budget on the share of traffic that may be retries, exponential backoff with jitter so clients don't retry in sync, and a circuit breaker that stops retrying entirely when failures stay high.
Retries are for isolated failures. During an incident, they're fuel
Your prompts are versioned. Your evals are versioned. What about the data your agent writes? 🗃
Every agent stores things: task results, extracted fields, memory entries, tool outputs. Six months later, you add a confidence score. Then you rename sources to citations. Suddenly your code is full of checks like "if this field exists, otherwise assume."
Treat stored output like an API. Give every record a schema version, write only the current version and upgrade old records on read, in one place, instead of scattering compatibility checks across the codebase. Keep a migration test with real records from every version you've ever written.
The alternative is a backfill under pressure, on data you can't regenerate because the model that produced it no longer exists.
Old records outlive the code that wrote them. Plan for that from the first write.
