Canon

•
RAG is fundamentally about enriching the model's environment with relevant context at inference time, providing the information environment that shapes better outputs.
•
RAG practitioners can control retrieval quality (indexing, chunking, ranking) but cannot fully control generation quality. The Stoic approach focuses on retrieval excellence.
