How do you let SMEs safely edit and evaluate content feeding a RAG pipeline?

emmas__eye · reddit · 2026-10-29

A Reddit user describes their team's agents that answer questions over structured clinical data, supported by a RAG system of short guidance snippets mapping clinical concepts to their data model.

Domain experts (clinicians, research scientists) should own this content, but it lives in the repo — and moving it out raises unvalidated-edit concerns. They want: a friendly SME editing UI with version history, review, and rollback; automated evaluation of edits before going live (evals already exist via CLI/endpoint); and a way to find snippets not covered by test cases.

They note KM tools handle editing/approval but not content evals, eval tools don't handle SME editing, and PromptLayer targets prompts rather than content. They ask whether to build or buy and how others gate SME edits.
