You are a platform architect designing an internal Claude-based assistant that serves both finance analysts and external auditors. Each population must access only documents permitted by its role.
Where should role-based access control be enforced in the pipeline?

• A. Nowhere in the pipeline; rely on the model's general refusal behavior to reject unauthorized document access without any enforced access control.
• B. At the retrieval layer, before any role-restricted content reaches the prompt-construction step or the model.
• C. Inside the system prompt as a natural-language instruction for Claude to ignore unauthorized documents.
• D. After the response is generated, by post-filtering content that should not have been retrieved.

You are defining an SLA for a Claude-based assistant.
Which SLA definition is most operationally meaningful?

• A. A target that names the metric and threshold but omits the evaluation window and breach consequence, leaving compliance periods and remediation triggers undefined.
• B. A qualitative commitment such as "the system will be fast and reliable," which names no metric, threshold, or evaluation window.
• C. A measurable target with a defined metric, threshold, evaluation window, and consequence for breach- for example, "p95 per-request latency under 800 ms over a 28-day window."
• D. A target tied to a stakeholder sentiment measure such as "the team feels satisfied," which cannot be measured objectively or used to trigger a documented breach response.

You are supporting an engineer whose newly added MCP server does not appear in their Claude Code session.
Which diagnostic step should be tried first?

• A. Verify the MCP server is registered using the listing command, then reconnect the session if needed, since configuration changes typically require a restart to take effect.
• B. Disable every MCP server in the configuration to isolate the issue, removing all tool access rather than confirming whether the new server is registered.
• C. Reinstall the developer's operating system from scratch, discarding all local configuration and tool state before attempting any targeted diagnostic steps.
• D. Switch the team to a different Claude product family unrelated to the existing workflow, abandoning the current configuration rather than diagnosing the registration issue.

You are running a controlled experiment to compare two prompts and must complete the design steps before executing the experiment.
Which two steps must be completed BEFORE running the experiment with random assignment? (Select two.) Each correct answer presents part of the solution.

• A. Document the recommendation, the trade-offs accepted, and the alternatives considered.
• B. Decide whether to promote, reject, or iterate the candidate based on the analysis.
• C. Determine the minimum detectable effect size and the sample size needed for power.
• D. Analyze the results against the predefined success metric and significance threshold.
• E. Define the hypothesis and the primary success metric for the comparison.

You are building a feedback-and-alignment routine for a multi-stakeholder deployment.
Which two practices belong in the routine? (Select two.)
Each correct answer presents a complete solution.

• A. Rotate facilitation among the participating stakeholder groups to share ownership of the routine.
• B. Set a regular cadence for revisiting expectations and assumptions as conditions evolve over time.
• C. Reconcile divergent stakeholder positions explicitly rather than papering over them in the moment.
• D. Escalate any disagreement among stakeholders to the executive sponsor for binding resolution.
• E. Record each session and distribute the recording to stakeholders who could not attend live.
