Deterministic MaxSim scoring beats keyword search without relying on hallucination-prone LLMs.

Strengths
  • MaxSim algorithm finds relevant paragraphs even when buried in long, unrelated articles.
  • Fully deterministic pipeline ensures identical inputs always produce identical scores for auditing.
  • Returns exact text chunks responsible for matches instead of opaque black-box relevance rankings.
Weaknesses
  • Reliance on RapidAPI as the distribution channel adds a middleman to the infrastructure stack.
  • Limited to news sources listed; niche blogs or RSS feeds outside the corpus are invisible.
