Chunking Strategies Lab

See how one engineering decision — how you split a document — changes the retrieval units presented to search, then measure Fixed, Recursive, and Structure-aware layouts on the same questions.

This Lab replays a measured Cookbook experiment — no API keys and no live retrieval. Watch one document become three chunk layouts, then inspect how the same question retrieves different evidence.

Example question

Pick an example class, then start the measured chunking walkthrough.

Boundaries change what stays intactWhy does everyone have to unlock the app again after being idle half a day?Section context preserves rankingIs AUTH_TOKEN_EXPIRED the same problem as an IdP outage during SSO sign-in?Different chunks, equivalent retrievalWhich DNS resolvers should edge sites use so relay hostnames resolve?

Chunking walk

Choose an example and run the experiment to see source text, three chunk layouts, boundary comparison, retrieved evidence, then metrics.

You will see: Source → Fixed → Recursive → Structure → Boundaries → Same Question → Retrieval → Retrieved → Metrics → Inspect → Aggregate → Takeaway

Chunking changes the retrieval units presented to search. Everything else is held constant. Measure the effect before deciding.
