A Ridgeline lab-guidelines PDF contains a reference table of normal bloodwork ranges. After indexing, the retriever sometimes returns a chunk with only half the table's rows, missing key values. What does this most likely indicate?

Short Explanation
A table getting sliced in half at a chunk boundary is a chunking problem, not a fact of life — tuning chunk size or using structure-aware chunking is exactly the kind of fix meant to keep a table's rows together.
Full Explanation
When a retrieved chunk contains only part of a table, that's a strong sign the chunking configuration split structured content like a table awkwardly across a boundary, and the fix lies in reviewing chunk size, adding overlap, or applying more structure-aware chunking that tries to keep coherent units like tables together rather than slicing them arbitrarily. It's inaccurate to treat this as an unfixable, expected limitation — chunking strategy is exactly the tunable lever meant to address problems like this, and quality-conscious admins iterate on it when a specific pattern like table-splitting turns up. Search type (keyword, vector, hybrid) affects how a query finds and ranks chunks, but doesn't control whether a table was chopped in half during chunking in the first place — that's a chunking-stage issue occurring earlier in the pipeline, before search type ever comes into play. The Einstein Trust Layer's protections concern data privacy — masking sensitive information, toxicity scoring — not partial concealment of routine clinical reference tables, so attributing this behavior to the Trust Layer is a mischaracterization of what it does. For the exam, tie content-splitting problems specifically to chunking configuration, not search type or Trust Layer behavior.
