What do you check first when a reranker places the most...

A strong answer focuses on the final state of the data as it reaches the model. You must confirm that the reranker’s output list was not modified by downstream processes like truncation or reordering. Only after confirming the integrity of the prompt should you analyze the position of the gold chunk, keeping in mind that while position 1 is generally safe, chunks in the middle of the context are often processed less effectively by the model.
