Abstract (arXiv)

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has become the standard approach for grounding large language models in information that was not available during training. While existing datasets and benchmarks focus on web or other public sources, there is still no widely adopted dataset that realistically reflects the nature of company-internal knowledge. Meanwhile, startups, enterprises, and researchers are increasingly developing AI Agents designed to operate over exactly this kind of proprietary data. To close this gap, we release a synthetic enterprise corpus, its generation framework, and a leaderboard. We present EnterpriseRAG-Bench, a dataset consisting of approximately 500,000 documents spanning nine enterprise source types (Slack, Gmail, Linear, Google Drive, HubSpot, Fireflies, GitHub, Jira, and Confluence) and 500 questions across ten categories that test distinct retrieval and reasoning capabilities. The corpus is generated with cross-document coherence (grounded in shared projects, people, and initiatives) and augmented with realistic noise such as misfiled documents, near-duplicates, and conflicting information. The question set ranges from simple single-document lookups to multi-document reasoning, constrained retrieval, conflict resolution, and recognizing when information is absent. The generation framework lets teams generate variants tailored to their own industry, scale, and source mix. The dataset, code, evaluation harness, and leaderboard are available at https://github.com/onyx-dot-app/EnterpriseRAG-Bench.
