RAG · DOCUMENT STRUCTURE

Chunking, parsing and the lost connections

Good chunking preserves text and relations among headings, paragraphs, tables, figures and sources.

A bright document is divided into floating segments; blue lines preserve heading, table and neighbourhood relations while amber breaks show lost context.
01 · PARSEReconstruct reading order, element types and table structure.
02 · LINKPreserve parents, neighbours, references, versions and permissions.
03 · TESTExercise boundaries before damaged segments enter the index.
CORE METHOD

PARSE → STRUCTURE → SEGMENT → LINK → RETRIEVE → REASSEMBLE → TEST

Small hits become reliable evidence through explicit structure and controlled context expansion.

THE CHUNK INTEGRITY TEST

Take a page with a heading, table or footnote. Draw chunk boundaries and mark every relation that must remain explicit.
