What is golden dataset?
Golden dataset (also called Ground truth dataset): A curated set of questions paired with verified correct answers and, ideally, the passages that support them. It serves as a stable benchmark for comparing RAG configurations and catching regressions.

A team writes 150 real customer questions with reviewed answers and source pages, and reruns the set after each change.
