Normal input

Direct relevance can coexist with insufficient coverage.

Retrieved passage: Deleted projects stay in the recovery area for 14 days, then are permanently removed. This page covers project deletion only; file recovery is described in a separate article.

Ambiguous input

A conditional statement cannot confirm the user’s eligibility without their plan.

Question: Can I recover a project deleted last week? Retrieved passage: Recovery is available on some workspace plans. Contact the workspace owner to check your plan.

Missing information

No retrieved evidence means the system should seek a source instead of filling the gap.

Use the result

Keep directly useful passages, retrieve evidence for unanswered parts, and state gaps in the final response. Use Citation check later to assess individual generated claims.

Limits to keep in mind

A relevant passage can still be inaccurate or incomplete. Don’t use it to fill gaps it doesn’t address.
