Your question is Chunking Trade-offs for RAG. Take a moment with it on the right.
Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).
Explain the trade-offs between different chunking strategies in a RAG pipeline design.
Compare fixed-size, sentence or paragraph-based, semantic, and structure-aware chunking. Discuss how chunk size, overlap, metadata, document structure, retrieval quality, context-window usage, latency, cost, and answer faithfulness interact. Recommend a strategy for a mixed corpus and explain how you would validate the choice.
