Anthropic Claude Certified Architect - Professional Sample Questions:
You are reviewing a customer-support agent's configuration. Each candidate tool falls into one of four categories: (1) required to complete defined tasks, (2) frequently used and reduces hand-offs, (3) occasionally useful for unrelated work, (4) speculative future utility.
Which categories should typically remain in the agent configuration?
- A. Only category 3, because occasionally useful tools for unrelated work provide broader coverage and should take priority over tools required for the agent's defined tasks.
- B. Only category 4, because speculative future-utility tools provide the most flexibility and should be configured even when no defined task currently requires them.
- C. Categories 1 and 2 only, because they map to defined tasks and the agent's regular hand-offs.
- D. All four categories, because broader tool access is categorically better for agent performance regardless of whether the tools map to defined tasks or regular hand-offs.

You are evaluating a Claude-based deployment for adherence to a specific regulation.
Which two steps must be completed BEFORE mapping deployment data flows to specific regulatory clauses?
(Select two.)
Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
- A. Inventory the vendor-provided compliance tooling and confirm which compliance affordances are in place.
- B. Schedule the remediation work with the engineering team based on the prioritized gap findings.
- C. Compare the in-place controls against the regulatory requirements to identify any compliance gaps.
- D. Identify the applicability of the regulation based on data types, jurisdiction, and audience.
- E. Document the identified gaps along with recommended remediations and residual risk for sign-off.

A Claude Architect is reviewing a post-deployment performance report for an AI-assisted legal-document summarization system. The report includes these observations:
Average summarization time decreased from 47 minutes to 6 minutes per document.
Associates spend less time on summaries, but overall billable output has not measurably changed.
Infrastructure costs increased by 22% because redundant retry logic generated additional API calls.
Some summaries require attorney correction, adding an average of 8 minutes of review per document.
Which analysis correctly attributes each observation to the appropriate business-value pillar?
- A. Observations 1 and 2 both indicate efficiency gains; Observation 3 is a solution-cost issue; Observation
4 is a performance-SLA issue. - B. Observation 1 indicates an efficiency gain; Observation 2 shows that productivity has not yet been realized; Observation 3 is a solution-cost issue; Observation 4 is an efficiency loss that partially offsets Observation 1.
- C. Observations 1 and 4 together indicate a net performance-SLA improvement; Observation 2 is a transformation gap; Observation 3 is a productivity drain from over-engineering.
- D. Observation 1 is a transformation outcome; Observation 2 is an efficiency gain; Observation 3 is a performance-SLA degradation; Observation 4 is a solution-cost issue.

You are building an ethics review checklist for deployments supported by artificial intelligence (AI). Which two checks belong on the list? (Select two.) Each correct answer presents a complete solution.
- A. Restrict the ethics review to outputs that exceed a defined model-confidence threshold.
- B. Confirm that high-impact decisions retain human accountability rather than being attributed to the model.
- C. Confirm that latency and throughput targets are met across the supported user populations.
- D. Confirm that vendor licensing terms permit the planned production use of the model.
- E. Verify that outputs do not rely on generalizations about people that the underlying data does not support.
Correct Answer: B,E 🗳️

A technical team is debating whether to implement a new capability for generating regulatory filings from internal data as a Claude Skill or as an MCP server. The capability requires a fixed authoring procedure with embedded examples, does not need to call live external systems, and must be portable across three Claude deployments: claude.ai, an internal API integration, and Claude Code.
Which factor most strongly favors implementing the capability as a Skill?
- A. The capability is procedural knowledge with no live external-system calls required.
- B. The capability needs to query a live database for the most recent regulatory filings.
- C. The capability must also be callable from a developer's command-line interface.
- D. The capability requires direct authentication against the corporate identity provider.
