How we read a retrieval bench

11 Feb 2026

A leaderboard recall figure is usually unfiltered k-NN on a static set. Production queries carry a tenant, a date, and a stock flag.

We publish benches only when the filter selectivity is stated. Otherwise the graph that wins unfiltered can lose once predicates reject most neighbors.

Treat any number on this site that is not inside a story as an illustration. The customer pages are fiction.
