+# Fred Test Corpus
+
+**Purpose:** Benchmark and regression testing for the **Fred** open-source agentic AI platform ([https://fredk8.dev](https://fredk8.dev)).
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+This dataset contains a **heterogeneous corpus of PDF documents** used to validate and benchmark the ingestion, vectorization, and retrieval (RAG) components of the Fred platform.
+
+It includes real-world documents from three distinct domains:
+
+| Folder | Source | Description |
+|:--------|:--------|:-------------|
+| **`ECB/`** | European Central Bank | Recent ECB Working Papers (economic research). |
+| **`OCDE/`** | Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development | French-language policy and analysis papers. |
+| **`ARXIV-AI/`** | arXiv.org (Artificial Intelligence category) | AI-related scientific preprints from September 2025. |
+
+Each folder contains between 8 and 15 representative PDF files, with typical file sizes between **300 KB and 2 MB**.
+
+---
+
+## ⚙️ Intended Use
+
+The corpus is designed for **functional and performance testing** of Fred’s document ingestion and retrieval subsystems, including:
+
+- **Document ingestion pipeline:** testing metadata extraction, text conversion, and storage backends (e.g. MinIO, OpenSearch, DuckDB).  
+- **Embedding & vectorization:** validating chunking, embedding quality, and retrieval accuracy.  
+- **RAG agents:** verifying contextual retrieval within Fred’s *DocumentsExpert* and *Knowledge Flow* agents.  
+- **Library selection & tagging:** evaluating how agents choose contextually relevant sources from mixed-domain libraries.
+
+This corpus is *not* a production dataset; it is meant for open-source experimentation, demos, and reproducibility of Fred agent behavior.
