# Real-World 10k Validation Methodology

## Test Design

### Objective
Validate IOA Core's Memory Fabric under realistic production workload with 10,000 diverse queries.

### Test Environment
- **System**: IOA Core v2.5.0
- **Python**: 3.10+
- **Database**: SQLite (production uses PostgreSQL)
- **Hardware**: Standard development machine
- **Date**: 2025-10-02

### Query Generation
- **Total Queries**: 10,000
- **Query Types**: Mixed (factual, compliance, policy, edge cases)
- **Jurisdictions**: EU, US, NZ, APAC, GLOBAL
- **Complexity**: Single-concept to multi-faceted queries

### Metrics Measured
1. **Success Rate**: % of queries returning valid results
2. **Recall@10**: % of relevant docs in top 10 results
3. **MRR@10**: Mean Reciprocal Rank of first relevant result
4. **Jurisdiction Match**: % of results matching query jurisdiction
5. **Quote Fidelity**: % of results with accurate source quotes
6. **Performance**: Queries per second (QPS) and latency

### Acceptance Criteria
- Success Rate ≥ 95%
- Recall@10 ≥ 80%
- MRR@10 ≥ 0.8
- Jurisdiction Match ≥ 95%
- Quote Fidelity ≥ 90%
- QPS ≥ 50
- Latency ≤ 100ms

## Results Summary
All acceptance criteria **EXCEEDED**. See `results/summary.json` for details.
