RAG Readiness Checker
Score whether a corpus is ready for RAG before you embed it: rights, freshness, structure, PII, and eval questions.

What it does
Answers 'should we even embed this?' before a RAG project starts. Scores rights, freshness, structure, PII, and whether you have gold questions to eval against. Listed as a free ARC Labs utility in the Master Blueprint.
Pipeline
- Inventory — sources, owners, dates, access.
- Score — rights, freshness, structure, PII, eval coverage (0-100).
- Blockers — name what would make retrieval unsafe or useless.
- Next — the smallest set of fixes before ingest.
- Gate — do not embed until blockers are cleared or explicitly accepted.
Prompt skeleton
Score this corpus for RAG readiness on five axes (0-20 each):
rights, freshness, structure, PII handling, eval coverage.
Return JSON: { score, grade, axes, blockers[], next[] }.
Do not recommend embedding if rights or PII are unknown.Guardrails
Unknown PII or unknown rights is a blocker, not a warning. Do not treat a shared-drive dump as a knowledge base. Human accepts residual risk in writing.
Structural dry-run
No model call. Validates required fields only.Prefills the example payload for Shared drive dump. Edit it, then run.
