# Research

### Research and debug

* **Ad-hoc retrieval**: Quickly prototype queries against selected retrievers. Tweak inputs, filters, sorts, and grouping to validate pipeline behavior without code.
* **Inspect stage outputs**: Compare per-stage results, scores, and timings to tune parameters.
* **Debug inference**: Call inference backends directly to inspect embeddings and model outputs. API: [Raw Inference](https://docs.mixpeek.com/docs/api-reference/inference/execute-raw-inference.md).
* **Iterate**: Promote successful experiments to saved retrievers and wire them into your apps.

### Tips

* Use small limits and targeted filters while tuning to keep responses fast.
* Validate feature availability in your collections via `Describe Features` before testing embedding stages.

**1. Pick a retriever**

Select the pipeline to test and provide sample inputs.

**2. Run and inspect**

Compare per-stage results, scores, and timings to tune configs.

**3. Debug inference (optional)**

Call inference backends to inspect embeddings and raw outputs.

Promote stable experiments to saved retrievers to get governance and reuse across environments.
