How do you handle a request to standardize on a single...

Standardizing on a single mechanism like RA-RAG or CAG across disparate content pools is often impractical. For example, RA-RAG may fail for pools lacking source identity, while CAG may impose unnecessary annotation costs on pools that do not require it.

The maintainability requested by stakeholders is better achieved through a shared interface. By requiring every content pool to expose a standardized credibility score, you can maintain system consistency while allowing each pool to use the specific mechanism—whether RA-RAG, CAG, or CrAM—that best fits its unique data and resource profile.
