Question 21
An account manager has used Claude to extract requirements from stakeholder notes. Three requirements appear to conflict: two stakeholders specified mutually exclusive workflow steps, and a third requirement assumes an outcome the first two would prevent. Which step is most appropriate?
Present all three conflicting requirements as alternative options in the requirements document, leaving the resolution to the project’s decision-making process later.
Apply Claude to propose a compromise wording for each conflict and submit the compromise to stakeholders as the proposed resolution.
Select the requirement that has the strongest business justification in the source notes, set the conflicting requirements aside, and proceed with the selected one.
Flag the conflicts in the requirements document, document the source for each side, and route the conflicts back to the originating stakeholders for resolution.
Question 22
A knowledge worker is explaining the cost, speed, and quality trade-offs across Claude models to a colleague. Which generalization correctly describes the trade-off?
Speed and rate-limit consumption are independent of model capability; the difference between Haiku, Sonnet, and Opus is reasoning depth alone.
More capable models generally consume more of the rate limit and run more slowly, while lighter models are faster and consume less of the rate limit.
More capable models generally consume less of the rate limit because their reasoning is more efficient, even though they run more slowly than lighter models.
Lighter models consume more of the rate limit per request than more capable models, since lighter models require multiple passes to match heavier-model quality.
Question 23
A finance manager must select a Claude feature for a task that requires deterministic calculations across a multi-tab spreadsheet. Which selection best fits the requirement?
Use an Artifact alone for the calculations, which provides a stable editable surface for the result but does not perform the deterministic computation that Code Execution would run.
Use Code Execution, which runs code in a sandbox to perform calculations on the uploaded file and produce verified outputs the associate can check.
Use the Research feature for the calculations, which gathers and synthesizes external sources and is not the appropriate feature for deterministic computation on an uploaded spreadsheet.
Use a standard chat prompt for the calculations, which generates text without running code and does not produce the verified deterministic output the multi-tab calculation task requires.
