What is missing. This record has no bottom line, key findings, reported figures, evidence dimensions. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Most Turkish-capable large language models (LLMs) are evaluated using general-purpose benchmarks rather than long, structurally complex domain documents. This paper evaluates five open-weight 7B-8B models for Turkish document question answering under a resource-constrained local deployment setting. The primary benchmark contains 100 systematically validated questions derived from a 109-page industrial R&D report, and the evaluation protocol is replicated using a second 112-page public-sector report and an independently constructed 100-question set. All models are evaluated locally on an NVIDIA RTX 3050 laptop GPU with 6 GB VRAM using controlled prompting, decoding, and 4-bit quantisation. The principal methodological contribution is an evidence-annotated evaluation protocol that separates retrieval failure from downstream model reasoning failure without requiring additional model calls. On the primary benchmark, end-to-end accuracy ranges from 49% to 75%. Seven lexical, dense, and hybrid retrieval configurations are additionally compared using 95% Wilson intervals and exact paired McNemar tests; none significantly outperforms the character TF-IDF baseline on either document. Evidence recall saturates differently across the two reports, showing that retrieval and effective context capacity can be binding constraints for some documents but not others. These results demonstrate that model selection, retrieval behaviour, and hardware limits must be evaluated separately when deploying open-weight LLMs for Turkish domain documents.
