+"""Evaluate KB Arena retrieval strategies on BEIR datasets.
+
+KB Arena (https://github.com/xmpuspus/kb-arena) is an open-source benchmark
+that ships nine architecturally distinct retrieval strategies (naive vector,
+contextual vector, QnA pairs, knowledge graph, hybrid RRF, RAPTOR, PageIndex,
+BM25, rerank-vector). This example wires any KB Arena Strategy into BEIR's
+EvaluateRetrieval flow so the same nine strategies can be scored on the BEIR
+datasets using BEIR's canonical IR metrics (NDCG, MAP, Recall, Precision).
+
+Install KB Arena alongside BEIR:
+
+    pip install kb-arena
+
+Usage:
+
+    python evaluate_kb_arena.py
+
+By default this runs BM25 against the SciFact split because BM25 needs no
+embedding-provider or LLM API keys. To switch to ``naive_vector``,
+``contextual_vector``, or any other strategy, change the import below and
+provide the embedding-provider env vars KB Arena expects (see KB Arena README).
