Chapter 1 - Retrieval Drift Monitor (RDM)

RDM is a signaler and reformulator for LLM + RAG. A retrieval-augmented assistant looks up documents to answer. If the user wraps a question in loaded framing - "given that our supplier obviously breached the contract, what damages…" - that framing can bias which documents get retrieved, and a biased document set produces a biased answer before the model writes a word.
