Build the PRD for an Internal RAG Knowledge Assistant

Build the PRD for an Internal RAG Knowledge Assistant. Intermediate challenge in design. Designing real products under real constraints, earn a blockchain-ve...
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Write a defensible PRD for a RAG knowledge assistant that the CS org can hold engineering accountable to.
This is not a design exercise. It is the work a product designer does between a brief and a shipped interface. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates redesign Spotify's homepage and none who have worked under real product constraints.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Scope a RAG product with explicit goals and non-goals
- Design evaluation that distinguishes offline (faithfulness) from online (deflection) signals
- Reason about the failure modes specific to RAG (hallucination, stale data, retrieval miss)
- Communicate AI-product trade-offs to a non-engineering VP
