Validate activity before betting a new project on contextcheck. - Data & Retrieval: Skip a heavy ingestion framework when your corpus is small and static; a script plus the embedding API is enough. - Evaluation & Observability: Defer heavyweight eval infra only until you have real traffic - never skip it once users depend on answers. - LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves. ## When NOT to use Agent-Reach - If strict compliance with website scraping policies is critical due to its use of scraping techniques - When direct interaction through APIs for precision and reliability is preferred over scraping ## Common questions ### What is the difference between contextcheck and Agent-Reach? contextcheck: MIT-licensed Framework for LLMs, RAGs, Chatbots testing.
