Question 1

You are transitioning a Claude-based deployment from design into implementation.

Which handoff package most directly supports a clean transition?

  1. Option A:

    The most recent set of design presentation slides without component-level diagrams, interface contracts, an evaluation framework with a reference set, runbooks, or a known-limitations register.

  2. Option B:

    A verbal walkthrough conducted on the day of handoff with no written architecture overview, ADRs, component contracts, evaluation framework, runbooks, playbook, or known limitations.

  3. Option C:

    Architecture overview, ADRs, component contracts, evaluation framework with reference set, runbooks, on-call playbook, and known limitations.

  4. Option D:

    Source code alone with no integrating architecture overview, ADRs, component contracts, evaluation framework, runbooks, on-call playbook, or known-limitations register to support the delivery team.

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: C

Option C provides the minimum coherent package required to move from architectural intent to implementable and supportable delivery. The architecture overview establishes system boundaries and component relationships. Architecture Decision Records preserve the context and trade-offs behind key choices. Component contracts define interfaces, schemas, responsibilities, failure behavior, and integration assumptions.


The evaluation framework and reference set allow the implementation team to confirm that prompts, models, retrieval components, and tool integrations continue to meet the defined quality, safety, latency, and cost thresholds. Runbooks translate operational knowledge into repeatable procedures, while the on-call playbook defines detection, escalation, containment, and recovery actions. The known-limitations register prevents unsupported behavior from being mistaken for an implementation defect and helps stakeholders manage residual risk.


Options A and B depend excessively on slides or undocumented verbal knowledge. Option D provides implementation material without explaining the system-level decisions, operating model, acceptance criteria, or limitations. Source code cannot substitute for architectural and operational documentation.


A clean transition does not mean the architect can never be consulted. It means routine implementation and support do not depend on undocumented knowledge held by a single individual.

Question 2

A business sponsor has requested an AI solution to “improve customer experience.” The sponsor cannot articulate which customer journey is failing, which metric reflects the failure, or which decisions the AI should support. The sponsor is asking you to begin design work next week.

Which delegation-competency action should you take first?

  1. Option A:

    Recommend that the sponsor revise the request and resubmit it later for evaluation.

  2. Option B:

    Begin prototyping a generic assistant against the broad request before the next deadline.

  3. Option C:

    Propose a fixed scope that you commit to by default based on your own assumptions.

  4. Option D:

    Facilitate a structured discovery to define the failing decision and the target metric.

Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: D

The request is not yet design-ready because it lacks a defined failure, affected user journey, supported decision, target population, and measurable outcome. The architect should therefore facilitate structured discovery rather than prematurely selecting an AI pattern or model.

Discovery should identify where the current customer journey breaks down, who experiences the problem, what decision or task requires assistance, what data is available, and which metric would demonstrate improvement. The team can then establish baseline performance, target thresholds, operational constraints, risks, and explicit non-goals. Anthropic’s evaluation guidance states that an LLM application should begin with clearly defined success criteria and a method for measuring them. Define Success Criteria and Build Evaluations

Option A abandons the sponsor instead of helping translate a business concern into an actionable problem. Option B risks producing a generic demonstration unrelated to a validated customer need. Option C substitutes the architect’s assumptions for stakeholder evidence and may commit the organization to the wrong scope.

Competent delegation begins by defining the decision, intended outcome, authority boundaries, and target metric before determining which responsibilities should be assigned to Claude, conventional software, or human reviewers.

Study Guide references/topics: Structured discovery; delegation competency; problem definition; target metrics; decision support; measurable business outcomes.
