A team indexing long legal contracts finds that the RAG system retrieves chunks containing the right section topic but misses the specific clause relevant to the user's question, resulting in low-quality answers. Which chunking adjustment most directly improves retrieval precision?

Question

Accepted Answer

B. Decrease chunk size to paragraph or sentence level so each chunk covers a more specific piece of information.. When retrieved chunks contain the right topic but miss the specific clause, the chunks are too coarse. Decreasing chunk size to paragraph or sentence level ensures each chunk contains a more specific piece of information, improving retrieval precision by returning the exact relevant clause rather than an entire section.
