Most RAG systems fail for one reason:
They treat all documents the same.

* PDFs needed structure-aware chunking
* Excel needed metadata queries (not embeddings)
* PPT required OCR per slide
Once I fixed this → retrieval quality jumped massively.
RAG is not about embeddings.
It’s about understanding your data.
