Cross-specialist conflicts belong at the orchestration layer, where evidence can be compared consistently and material uncertainty can trigger human review. On the CCAR-F exam, questions in the "Agentic Architecture and Orchestration" domain test whether you can map a scenario's constraints to the right choice. Read the requirement carefully, eliminate options that violate any single constraint, and pick the one that satisfies all of them with the least operational overhead.
