LlamaIndex Purdue Model OT/IT RAG Pipeline with Together AI

Integrating Level 0-3 operational telemetry with cloud data lakes risks breaking network segmentation protocols. Build a secure RAG metadata indexing agent using LlamaIndex and Together AI to parse Purdue Model architectures and validate data flow compliance. The system must index 1,000 node schemas and flag boundary violations in under 3 seconds.

Delivery guide

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

Evaluates RAG retrieval precision, compliance violation detection, and query execution latency.

Datasets

Shared data for this challenge

Review public datasets and any private uploads tied to your build.

Evaluation rubric

How submissions are scored

These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.

Dimensions
2 scoring checks
Binary
2 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

boundary_detection

Verifies illegal data flows crossing DMZ directly are rejected

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

search_time_ms

Query execution time in milliseconds • target: 500 • range: 0-3000

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.
