A curated gold set is the foundation for evaluation stability. Without strict contracts on the gold data, all eval metrics become meaningless. This page defines how to build, audit, and maintain gold QA sets that align with WFGY acceptance targets.


Open these first


Acceptance targets for curated goldsets

  • Coverage ≥ 0.80 of target sections
  • ΔS(question, gold anchor) ≤ 0.35
  • λ state stable across 3 paraphrases and 2 seeds
  • No overlap: each gold item maps to exactly one snippet and section

Curation process

1. Select domains

  • Identify domains relevant to the pipeline (finance, law, product docs).
  • Ensure gold questions are drawn from actual user tasks.

2. Define anchors

  • Each QA item must cite a section ID and expected_doc.
  • Anchors must reference stable problem map sections, not ephemeral text.

Example:

{
  "id": "Q_0007",
  "question": "What causes hallucination re-entry after correction?",
  "answer_ref": "PM:patterns/pattern_hallucination_reentry",
  "expected_doc": "ProblemMap/patterns/pattern_hallucination_reentry.md",
  "section_id": "hallucination-reentry"
}

3. Add paraphrases

  • Minimum 3 per question.
  • Probe λ stability under phrasing variance.
{
  "id": "Q_0007_P1",
  "question": "Why do hallucinations return after being corrected once?"
}

4. Validate citations

  • Each gold item must include an exact citation offset.
  • If offsets drift, the goldset is invalid until refreshed.

5. Apply regression gate

  • No gold item should produce ΔS > 0.45 in baseline runs.
  • Violations are logged and flagged for refresh.

Common pitfalls and fixes

  • Gold overlaps across sections → Fix: merge or re-scope questions, ensure one-to-one mapping.

  • Anchors point to unstable docs → Fix: only link to long-lived WFGY ProblemMap pages.

  • Paraphrases flip λ → Fix: clamp with BBAM variance controls and revalidate.

  • Coverage below 0.80 → Fix: expand questions until goldset covers every critical node.


Quick workflow

  1. Draft 20–30 candidate QA items.
  2. Add 3 paraphrases each.
  3. Link every item to an anchor section.
  4. Run through eval_harness.md.
  5. Drop items that fail regression gate.
  6. Store final goldset in datasets/gold/.
