#1 most missed

Prompting & Constraints

Prompting and Task Execution
Review
high-signal topic

An operations analyst asks Claude to turn weekly incident notes into an executive update. The first result is polished but omits owners and deadlines. What is the best next step?

Correct answer
D. Provide a required structure with sections for impact, owner, deadline, evidence, and open decisions

A concrete output structure and explicit required fields make success testable. More context or creativity does not supply missing requirements, and Claude should not invent owners or deadlines.

#2 most missed

Validation & Sources

Output Evaluation and Validation
Review
high-signal topic

Claude drafts a market brief containing five precise growth figures. The brief will inform a budget decision. What should the analyst do before using it?

Correct answer
D. Verify each figure against the cited primary source and mark unsupported claims

Precision is not evidence. High-impact factual claims should be checked against authoritative sources; self-reported model confidence is not a substitute for verification.

#3 most missed

Product Selection & Projects

Product and Model Selection
Review
high-signal topic

A policy team repeatedly asks Claude questions about the same approved handbook and wants shared instructions to persist across sessions. Which setup best fits?

Correct answer
B. Use a shared Project with the approved handbook and scoped project instructions

A Project is designed for reusable knowledge and instructions around ongoing work. It reduces repeated setup without adding unnecessary application engineering.
