Packing Lab

Turn ranked chunks into a prompt. Choose how many, a token budget, the order and near-duplicate removal, and see the numbered sources, where the answer lands and what the prompt costs.

Used on RAG-33 and RAG-35

The prompt

What to notice

g-30 (PT-MOB-25GB today): old and new tariff versions both enter the prompt. That is the conflict RAG-36 is about.

Surprise

Going from 3 to 8 chunks more than doubles the tokens and never adds an answer with hybrid search: all 47 are already in the top 3.

Try next

Set the budget below one chunk (about 500) and see which chunks are left out, and why.
