+# 📊 Portfolio RAG Evaluation Framework
+
+RAGAS-based offline evaluation of your LightRAG portfolio system.
+
+## What is RAGAS?
+
+**RAGAS** (Retrieval Augmented Generation Assessment) is a framework for reference-free evaluation of RAG systems using LLMs.
+
+Instead of requiring human-annotated ground truth, RAGAS uses state-of-the-art evaluation metrics:
+
+### Core Metrics
+
+| Metric | What It Measures | Good Score |
+|--------|-----------------|-----------|
+| **Faithfulness** | Is the answer factually accurate based on retrieved context? | > 0.80 |
+| **Answer Relevance** | Is the answer relevant to the user's question? | > 0.80 |
+| **Context Recall** | Was all relevant information retrieved from documents? | > 0.80 |
+| **Context Precision** | Is retrieved context clean without irrelevant noise? | > 0.80 |
+| **RAGAS Score** | Overall quality metric (average of above) | > 0.80 |
+

+```
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Quick Start
+
+### 1. Install Dependencies
+
+```bash
+pip install ragas datasets langfuse
+```
+
+Or use your project dependencies (already included in pyproject.toml):
+
+```bash
+pip install -e ".[offline-llm]"
+```
+
+### 2. Run Evaluation
+
+```bash
+cd /path/to/LightRAG
+python -m lightrag.evaluation.eval_rag_quality
+```
+
+Or directly:
+
+```bash
+python lightrag/evaluation/eval_rag_quality.py
+```
+
+### 3. View Results
+
+Results are saved automatically in `lightrag/evaluation/results/`:
+
+```
+results/
+├── results_20241023_143022.json     ← Raw metrics (for analysis)
+└── report_20241023_143022.html      ← Beautiful HTML report 🌟
+```
+
+**Open the HTML report in your browser to see:**
+- ✅ Overall RAGAS score
+- 📊 Per-metric averages
+- 📋 Individual test case results
+- 📈 Performance breakdown
+
+---
+
+## 📝 Test Dataset
+
+Edit `test_dataset.json` to add your own test cases:
+
+```json
+{
+  "test_cases": [
+    {
+      "question": "Your test question here",
+      "ground_truth": "Expected answer with key information",
+      "project_context": "project_name"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+**Example:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "question": "Which projects use PyTorch?",
+  "ground_truth": "The Neural ODE Project uses PyTorch with TorchODE library for continuous-time neural networks.",
+  "project_context": "neural_ode_project"
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🔧 Integration with Your RAG System
+
+Currently, the evaluation script uses **ground truth as mock responses**. To evaluate your actual LightRAG:
+
+### Step 1: Update `generate_rag_response()`
+
+In `eval_rag_quality.py`, replace the mock implementation:
+
+```python
+async def generate_rag_response(self, question: str, context: str = None) -> Dict[str, str]:
+    """Generate RAG response using your LightRAG system"""
+    from lightrag import LightRAG
+
+    rag = LightRAG(
+        working_dir="./rag_storage",
+        llm_model_func=your_llm_function
+    )
+
+    response = await rag.aquery(question)
+
+    return {
+        "answer": response,
+        "context": "context_from_kg"  # If available
+    }
+```
+
+### Step 2: Run Evaluation
+
+```bash
+python lightrag/evaluation/eval_rag_quality.py
+```
+
+---
+
+## 📊 Interpreting Results
+
+### Score Ranges
+
+- **0.80-1.00**: ✅ Excellent (Production-ready)
+- **0.60-0.80**: ⚠️ Good (Room for improvement)
+- **0.40-0.60**: ❌ Poor (Needs optimization)
+- **0.00-0.40**: 🔴 Critical (Major issues)
+
+### What Low Scores Mean
+
+| Metric | Low Score Indicates |
+|--------|-------------------|
+| **Faithfulness** | Responses contain hallucinations or incorrect information |
+| **Answer Relevance** | Answers don't match what users asked |
+| **Context Recall** | Missing important information in retrieval |
+| **Context Precision** | Retrieved documents contain irrelevant noise |
+
+### Optimization Tips
+
+1. **Low Faithfulness**:
+   - Improve entity extraction quality
+   - Better document chunking
+   - Tune retrieval temperature
+
+2. **Low Answer Relevance**:
+   - Improve prompt engineering
+   - Better query understanding
+   - Check semantic similarity threshold
+
+3. **Low Context Recall**:
+   - Increase retrieval `top_k` results
+   - Improve embedding model
+   - Better document preprocessing
+
+4. **Low Context Precision**:
+   - Smaller, focused chunks
+   - Better filtering
+   - Improve chunking strategy
+
+---
+
+## 📈 Usage Examples
+
+### Python API
+
+```python
+import asyncio
+from lightrag.evaluation import RAGEvaluator
+
+async def main():
+    evaluator = RAGEvaluator()
+    results = await evaluator.run()
+
+    # Access results
+    for result in results:
+        print(f"Question: {result['question']}")
+        print(f"RAGAS Score: {result['ragas_score']:.2%}")
+        print(f"Metrics: {result['metrics']}")
+
+asyncio.run(main())
+```
+
+### Custom Dataset
+
+```python
+evaluator = RAGEvaluator(test_dataset_path="custom_tests.json")
+results = await evaluator.run()
+```
+
+### Batch Evaluation
+
+```python
+from pathlib import Path
+import json
+
+results_dir = Path("lightrag/evaluation/results")
+results_dir.mkdir(exist_ok=True)
+
+# Run multiple evaluations
+for i in range(3):
+    evaluator = RAGEvaluator()
+    results = await evaluator.run()
+```
+

+
+---
+
+## 🐛 Troubleshooting
+
+### "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ragas'"
+
+```bash
+pip install ragas datasets
+```
+
+### "No test_dataset.json found"
+
+Make sure you're running from the project root:
+
+```bash
+cd /path/to/LightRAG
+python lightrag/evaluation/eval_rag_quality.py
+```
+
+### "LLM API errors during evaluation"
+
+The evaluation uses your configured LLM (OpenAI by default). Ensure:
+- API keys are set in `.env`
+- Have sufficient API quota
+- Network connection is stable
+
+### Results showing 0 scores
+
+Current implementation uses ground truth as mock responses. Results will show perfect scores because the "generated answer" equals the ground truth.
+
+**To use actual RAG results:**
+1. Implement the `generate_rag_response()` method
+2. Connect to your LightRAG instance
+3. Run evaluation again
+
+---
+
+## 📝 Next Steps
+
+1. ✅ Review test dataset in `test_dataset.json`
+2. ✅ Run `python lightrag/evaluation/eval_rag_quality.py`
+3. ✅ Open the HTML report in browser
+4. 🔄 Integrate with actual LightRAG system
+5. 📊 Monitor metrics over time
+6. 🎯 Use insights for optimization
+

+
+**Happy Evaluating! 🚀**
