Score retrieval and generation separately: the pair of metrics localizes whether a bad RAG answer is a retriever or an LLM problem.
If you log one thing in your RAG pipeline, log the final assembled prompt. It's the fastest path from 'bad answer' to root cause.
Mine failing production traces, store input plus retrieved chunks plus expected behavior, and version 50-100 focused cases in-repo.
