Which option should the data scientist prioritize if the goal is to meet a strict latency target? A short pilot window means the team prefers an approach that can be evaluated with clear success criteria. The project has 4 downstream consumers and a monthly review of approximately 946 sampled interactions.

1. Task completion rate
2. Cost per interaction
3. Accuracy or task quality
4. Average revenue per user (ARPU)
5. F1 score

Correct answer: C

Why: Quality metrics remain necessary alongside financial metrics. It directly addresses the requirement in this scenario.

Option review:

A: Task completion directly reflects whether the AI application accomplishes the target job. This can be appropriate in another scenario, but it does not most directly satisfy the requirement described here.

B: Cost per interaction connects architecture choices to scalable unit economics. This can be appropriate in another scenario, but it does not most directly satisfy the requirement described here.

C: Quality metrics remain necessary alongside financial metrics. It directly addresses the requirement in this scenario.

D: ARPU connects an AI experience to monetization outcomes. This can be appropriate in another scenario, but it does not most directly satisfy the requirement described here.

E: F1 summarizes precision and recall when both types of error matter. This can be appropriate in another scenario, but it does not most directly satisfy the requirement described here.

Learning point: Accuracy or task quality – Quality metrics remain necessary alongside financial metrics.

Question 23

A proof of concept at VanArsdel Media exposed a design decision for the business analyst: the solution must use an agentic IDE and CLI to perform specification-driven software development.

Question 24

Datum Dynamics is documenting the target state for a forecasting initiative. The data scientist needs a solution that can apply familiar IAM, logging, encryption, networking, and compliance services around AI workloads. Which option is the strongest fit? Budget has been approved for the project, but the team still wants to avoid unnecessary recurring consumption. The evaluation set contains examples from 6 business workflows and 60 recent production cases.

1. Choice of managed models and tools
2. Responsible-AI controls
3. Faster time to market
4. Safety mechanisms
5. Integrated AWS security and governance

Correct answer: E

Why: AWS GenAI services integrate with broader AWS security and governance capabilities. It directly addresses the requirement in this scenario.

Option review:

A: Managed platforms can provide model choice without requiring a separate serving stack for each model. This can be appropriate in another scenario, but it does not most directly satisfy the requirement described here.

B: Responsible-AI practices combine technical controls with policy and oversight. This can be appropriate in another scenario, but it does not most directly satisfy the requirement described here.

C: Managed services and integrated tooling can shorten development and deployment cycles. This can be appropriate in another scenario, but it does not most directly satisfy the requirement described here.

D: Safety is a system-level property that requires layered controls around the model. This can be appropriate in another scenario, but it does not most directly satisfy the requirement described here.

E: AWS GenAI services integrate with broader AWS security and governance capabilities. It directly addresses the requirement in this scenario.

Learning point: Integrated AWS security and governance – AWS GenAI services integrate with broader AWS security and governance capabilities.

Question 25

Alpine Ski House is reviewing a customer-support modernization. The business analyst has one primary requirement: use AWS compliance programs, artifacts, configuration, and logging capabilities as part of an organization compliance process. Which choice best fits the requirement? The team will validate the result with representative production examples before rollout. The initial rollout covers 97 internal users across 3 business units.

1. Compliance support
2. Sensitive-information filtering
3. Safety mechanisms
4. Content filtering
5. Grounding checks

Correct answer: A

Why: Cloud compliance tooling can support evidence collection and control implementation, while customers remain responsible for their obligations. It directly addresses the requirement in this scenario.

Option review:

A: Cloud compliance tooling can support evidence collection and control implementation, while customers remain responsible for their obligations. It directly addresses the requirement in this scenario.

B: Sensitive-information controls help reduce accidental disclosure of PII or other protected content. This can be appropriate in another scenario, but it does not most directly satisfy the requirement described here.

C: Safety is a system-level property that requires layered controls around the model. This can be appropriate in another scenario, but it does not most directly satisfy the requirement described here.

D: Content filtering is a practical control for responsible AI but should be combined with broader application safety measures. This can be appropriate in another scenario, but it does not most directly satisfy the requirement described here.

E: Grounding controls can reduce unsupported statements in retrieval-based applications. This can be appropriate in another scenario, but it does not most directly satisfy the requirement described here.

Learning point: Compliance support – Cloud compliance tooling can support evidence collection and control implementation, while customers remain responsible for their obligations.

Question 26

During a design review for Humongous Insurance, the data scientist must accept extra training, evaluation, storage, and hosting expense when specialized behavior justifies it. The team also wants to limit exposure of sensitive data. What should the team choose? The pilot has representative data, and the team will measure the selected approach against an agreed acceptance threshold. The workload processes about 134 requests during its busiest hour and has a documented fallback path.

1. Redundant multi-region design
2. Custom model
3. In-context learning
4. Account for both input and output token rates
5. Fine-tuning

Correct answer: B
