GenAI Foundations Navigator

A guided tour of the vocabulary everything else assumes: grounding, retrieval components, prompt structure, core parameters, and the point at which fine-tuning starts to make sense.

It covers grounding and hallucination, the parts of a RAG pipeline, prompt structure, temperature and top-p, and the threshold where fine-tuning starts to pay for itself. It is written for anyone who keeps nodding along in GenAI conversations and would rather actually follow them.

Every branch states the trade-off that decided it, so the recommendation you end on comes with the reasoning attached — something you can paste into a design note or defend in a review.
