Does the passage answer the user question?
Does the passage contain instructions aimed at the model rather than content for the user?
P(yes) = 0.97 — "ignore previous instructions" pattern detected
How useful is this passage for answering the question?
From one example to a reusable workflow
Check every candidate chunk
Run the same three questions per retrieved passage — they share the state cost, so scoring 5 chunks is still cheap.
Quarantine, don't fix
An injected passage is not a bad passage to trim — it is hostile. Route it out of the context entirely and log the source.
Rerank on usefulness
Use the score to order survivors; the generator sees only passages that passed all gates.
Keep the criteria separate
| Check | What it measures | How to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Relevance · Choice | Does the passage actually answer the question? | Three-way answers/partial/irrelevant beats a similarity score — partial answers should trigger a second hop, not a shrug. |
| Injection · Yes/No | Does the chunk contain instructions for the model? | Retrieved content is untrusted input; a noul gate catches "ignore previous instructions" before the generator reads it. |
| Usefulness · Score | How much does it help? | A rankable score for ordering survivors — better than binary relevance when you must pick top-k. |
The gap between similar and useful
Embedding similarity finds passages about the right topic. It does not check whether they answer the question, are current, or carry instructions for your model. Those are decisions — type them.
Injection is a retrieval problem
Prompt injection does not only arrive in user input — it rides in your corpus. A wiki page or crawled doc can carry hostile text; the cheapest place to catch it is before generation, not after.
Score for coverage, not vibes
Ask "how much of the question does this passage cover" as an ordered rubric. A passage that covers part of a compound question tells you to retrieve again; a flat similarity score tells you nothing.
FAQ
Should every chunk go through Jev?
Judge the top-k your retriever returns — usually 5–20 chunks. The question set is small and shares state, so per-chunk cost is low.
Can this replace my reranker?
It complements it. The reranker orders by similarity; Jev gates on decisions you define — relevance type, injection, coverage — before anything reaches the prompt.
What happens to flagged passages?
Whatever your code does with the verdict — drop, quarantine, or flag for review. Jev returns the typed decision; your pipeline owns the action.
