The paper investigates whether incorporating an evidence-support signal into retrieval evaluation for retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG) improves downstream decision‑making. Across multiple benchmarks and a TREC RAG 2025 setting, the evidence signal alters retriever rankings but its benefits vary: it does not consistently enhance retriever training, its usefulness for system selection depends on generator instructions, and it does not reliably predict answer quality on unseen topics. Human filtering of evidence‑rich passages preserves useful content, yet evaluators disagree on whether this improves final answers, indicating that evidence‑aware evaluation alone does not guarantee better downstream outcomes.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of information retrieval systems, the ability to adapt and improve through user feedback is paramount. This study introduces a novel methodology for refining the performance of a primary Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) system by strategically integrating an auxiliary feedback RAG system.
