Why it matters
It addresses the need for evaluating RAG systems on niche institutional knowledge, but its small scale and facility-specific scope limit broader utility.
Motivation
Scientific user facilities accumulate decades of operational knowledge that no single search index covers: electronic logbooks, technical documents, internal wikis, operations chat messages, maintenance records, and live control-system data.
Primary resources
Benchmark Radar records only publicly supported details and links back to primary sources for verification.
