New library offers explainable RAG confidence scoring

A new TypeScript library called `transparent-confidence` has been developed to address the challenge of assessing the trustworthiness of answers generated by retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems. Unlike raw cosine scores or uncalibrated LLM self-confidence, this library provides a structured scorecard at query time. It analyzes various signals such as retrieval scores, document metadata, and conflict indicators to generate a confidence score between 0 and 100, along with machine-readable warnings and recommended actions.

IMPACT Provides a standardized method for evaluating RAG answer quality, potentially improving user trust and system reliability.

    Stop Serving Raw Cosine Scores: Explainable RAG Confidence Scoring at Query Time

    <h2> The gap nobody talks about </h2> <p>You've got a RAG pipeline. It retrieves documents, generates an answer, and hands it to your users. Somewhere between "retrieved 0.84 cosine similarity" and "show answer in UI" you've made a judgment call — usually implicit — about whether…
