Keep human authority for irreversible or regulated actions until the pilot proves the delegated boundary is acceptable.
Define a schema evolution agreement before onboarding so ownership and acceptance are explicit.

Correct Answer: A

Correct Answer

Answer A is correct because This is correct because it applies the reserved architecture decision—identify mixed units in financial grounding records—to the decisive constraint in the scenario. It keeps the action at the appropriate business readiness and grounding data boundary and produces a result that can be verified before wider deployment.

Incorrect Answers

Answer D is incorrect because This safeguard can be important in a broader production design, but it is a supporting control rather than the primary decision required by this scenario. Selecting it alone would leave the core architecture choice unresolved.

Answer E is incorrect because This is not the best choice because it addresses the adjacent decision ‘define a schema evolution agreement before onboarding’ rather than the scenario’s decisive requirement. Although that action can be valid within business readiness and grounding data, selecting it here would leave the stated constraint unresolved or move the design to the wrong stage.
