Project Goals and Scope

Complete the project design and validation package for an enterprise after-sales ticket assistant. All enterprises, users, tickets, manuals, and metrics are synthetic materials. This case is for learning purposes only; it is not a delivered customer case, and it does not claim to run a real large model or production RAG.

The first phase supports reading tickets, searching authorized materials, generating drafts with citations, and human review; it excludes automatic sending, device control, cross-tenant queries, and automatic closure.

Six Milestones and Deliverables

Downloadable Exercise Starting Point

Save the three files to the same directory and run the command below. The results of this demo only prove that the listed keywords and filter rules behave as expected on the seed samples; they do not prove semantic recall, generation quality, or end-to-end safety of a real system.

Review and Scoring

DimensionScoreEvidence Required to Pass
Problem and Value20Facts/hypotheses separated, metrics have denominators
Engineering and Integration25Contracts, duplicate requests, exception behavior
AI and Evals20Sample versions, error taxonomy, and human scoring
Security and Reliability25Isolation, revocation, degradation, and recovery
Handover and Review10Reproduction by others and follow-up ownership

This is a learning scoring suggestion, not a professional certification. If safety-critical items fail, the project cannot be claimed production-ready even with a high total score. Unimplemented capabilities are explicitly marked as designed or pending validation.

Advanced Tasks

After integrating real identity and persistence services, retest resource authorization; replace keyword retrieval and evaluate recall; after integrating a model, add factual support, citation accuracy, and cost tracking; before adding write tools, add approval, idempotency, and recovery. Use the project template throughout to save evidence.

Further Reading and Usage Boundaries

This page is a basic guide; production operations must be validated against actual versions, authorized environments, and review evidence.
