WEEK 34 · LABDOCS, PART 2

Do one thing.
Then you are ahead.

A librarian who answers confidently but sends you to the wrong shelf is worse than no librarian. This week you build "Ask the lab": local embeddings over the lab's records, answers that cite the exact protocol paragraph, and, as always, a measurement. You write 60 questions with human-labelled answers (your gold set again, now for retrieval), and you calibrate an LLM judge against your own labels so you know how muc…

If you only do one thing this week: the 60 labelled Q&A
