## The Receipt Machine

- [The X-ray: watch your AI find things](https://ragcreator.com/x-ray): Watch your AI find things. One station of The Receipt Machine: you run it in your own AI and it is scored on the spot.
- [Station 1, Load: get clean text out of a messy export](https://ragcreator.com/stations/rag_load): Retrieval can only find what loading kept. A flattened table loses its meaning unless you rebuild it. One station of The Receipt Machine.
- [Station 2, Chunk: cut it where the meaning lives](https://ragcreator.com/stations/rag_chunk): A chunk that cuts a sentence in half can never be the receipt for it. One station of The Receipt Machine, run in your own AI and scored on the spot.
- [Station 3, Embed: find passages that mean the same thing](https://ragcreator.com/stations/rag_embed): Embeddings put passages that mean the same thing close together, even when they share no words. One station of The Receipt Machine.
- [Station 4, Retrieve: pull the right passage and catch the trap](https://ragcreator.com/stations/rag_retrieve): The passage that shares the most words with the question is not always the one that answers it. One station of The Receipt Machine.
- [The miss lab: when the retriever finds nothing](https://ragcreator.com/stations/rag_retrieve_lab): A word-matching retriever misses "home" when the handbook says "remotely". Rewrite the question until it hits. One station of The Receipt Machine.
- [Station 5, Answer: every sentence with a receipt](https://ragcreator.com/stations/rag_answer): The last station: answer only from the sources, cite every sentence, and say so when the sources are silent. One station of The Receipt Machine.
- [Capstone: your pipeline, on your own documents](https://ragcreator.com/stations/rag_capstone): Write the spec for your own pipeline: what goes in, how it is cut, how much is retrieved, and five questions that prove it works.
- [Station 5, Answer: every sentence with a receipt](https://ragcreator.com/stations/rag_answer_lab): The last station: answer only from the sources, cite every sentence, and say so when the sources are silent. One station of The Receipt Machine.
- [Station 3, Chunk: keep sentences whole](https://ragcreator.com/stations/rag_chunk_lab): A chunk that splits a sentence cannot be verified, so every chunk must end where a sentence ends. One station of The Receipt Machine.
