Review question 1

Discovery & Requirements

Solution Design and Architecture
Not ranked

An executive asks for an autonomous agent to 'eliminate support backlog.' What should the architect establish before selecting a model or framework?

Correct answer
D. A measurable target, task boundaries, a process baseline, failure costs, and decision rights

Architecture should follow a measurable operating problem and its constraints. Selecting technology before defining success and risk produces an untestable solution.

Review question 2

Model Routing & Governance

Claude Models, Prompting, and Context Engineering
Not ranked

A global platform wants to route requests among Claude models by task difficulty. What must accompany the router before production release?

Correct answer
C. Per-route eval thresholds, fallbacks, observability, and change control for model updates

Routing introduces a policy layer that can change quality and risk. It needs validated thresholds, monitored decisions, controlled fallbacks, and versioned changes.

Review question 3

RAG & Evaluation

Integration
Not ranked

A RAG assistant gives fluent wrong answers. Retrieval logs show that the correct passage was never returned. Which component should the team improve first?

Correct answer
B. The ingestion and retrieval layer, measured with relevance judgments and retrieval metrics

Generation cannot ground itself in evidence it never receives. Isolating retrieval quality from answer quality prevents prompt changes from masking the root cause.
