Steps
Step 0: Baseline Current Quality
Measure current retrieval quality (recall@k, NDCG, or user-facing proxy) and latency on representative queries.
Step 1: Tune the Index
Adjust ANN index parameters (e.g. ef_search, nlist/nprobe) to trade off recall against latency, and evaluate hybrid (lexical + vector) search where pure vector search misses exact-match queries.
Step 2: Add Reranking or Query Expansion
If precision at the top of the results is still weak, add a reranking stage or query expansion, and re-measure.
Key Rules
- Follow the output format defined in docs/output-kit.md
- Every tuning change needs a before/after quality number — don't ship a parameter change on intuition
- Hybrid search is usually the fix for 'exact term not found' complaints — check that failure mode before reaching for a bigger model
- Reranking adds latency — confirm the latency budget allows it before recommending it
Output Format
A before/after quality and latency comparison, plus the specific index/reranking/query-expansion changes recommended.
Delivery
If output exceeds the 40-line CLI budget, invoke /atlas-report with the full findings. The HTML report is the output. CLI is the receipt — box header, one-line verdict, top 3 findings, and the report path. Never dump analysis to CLI.
