An operations lead at a logistics company must turn notes from three depot managers into requirements for a new parcel-returns process by Friday. The managers' notes disagree on who approves a return and how quickly refunds are paid. She plans to use Claude to analyse the notes before writing anything up. Which actions should she take? Select TWO.

  • AAsk Claude to list the conflicts and gaps across the three sets of notes, then confirm each with the managers Correct
  • BAsk Claude to settle each disagreement by picking the most sensible option and send that to the managers
  • CAsk Claude to restate each requirement with the note it came from, so she can check it against the original Correct
  • DAsk Claude to rate how complete the requirements are and treat a high score as ready for sign-off
  • EAsk the technical team to build an automated requirements tool before she analyses any of the notes
When analysing requirements with Claude, use it to surface conflicts and trace each requirement to its source, while stakeholders settle the decisions. Claude adds value in requirements work by comparing many inputs at speed and exposing contradictions, gaps and assumptions. It cannot know which competing requirement the business wants, so the stakeholders must resolve conflicts. Linking each restated requirement to its source note makes the output checkable, which is a stronger safeguard than any rating Claude gives itself.

Why A is correct: Correct. Claude is good at spotting contradictions and missing details across several documents, but only the managers can settle what the process should be, so surfacing the conflicts and confirming them with the owners is the right use.

Why B is wrong: Tempting under a Friday deadline, but it hands a business decision to Claude. The disagreements are about who approves returns and refund timing, which the managers own, so presenting Claude's choices as settled skips the stakeholders who must agree them.

Why C is correct: Correct. Tying every restated requirement to its source lets her verify quickly that nothing was invented, dropped or reworded in a way that changes its meaning, which matters when the notes already conflict.

Why D is wrong: A self-reported score feels like a quality check, but Claude rating its own output is not evidence of completeness. Only checking against the notes and the managers' answers shows whether the requirements are right.

Why E is wrong: It sounds like a scalable fix, but this is a one-off analysis of three sets of notes with a Friday deadline. A well-structured chat in the Claude apps handles it, so escalating to a build is unnecessary and too slow.
