An HR adviser at a local council is drawing up a shortlist of ways the HR team could use Claude. The council's AI-use policy allows AI to draft and summarise material, but states that every decision about an individual member of staff or applicant is made by a person. Which use cases belong on the shortlist? Select TWO.

  • ARanking job applicants against the person specification and rejecting those below a set score
  • BDrafting job adverts from approved role profiles for a recruiter to review and edit before posting Correct
  • CDeciding the outcome of disciplinary cases by comparing investigation notes with past outcomes
  • DSummarising anonymised staff survey comments into themes for managers to discuss and act on Correct
  • EMarking probation reviews as pass or fail from managers' notes so HR can close them faster
Shortlist AI use cases where Claude drafts or summarises under human review, and exclude any where it would make a decision about a person. Identifying where AI adds value means matching tasks to what Claude does well, such as drafting and summarising, while respecting where accountability must stay with people. Hiring, disciplinary and probation outcomes affect individuals and can carry bias, so the council's policy keeps them with a person. Drafting adverts and theming anonymised feedback leave every decision with staff.

Why A is wrong: Screening large applicant pools is a tempting time saving, but rejecting candidates on Claude's score is a decision about individuals, which the policy reserves for people and which carries bias and fairness risk.

Why B is correct: Correct. This is drafting from approved source material with a person reviewing before anything is published, which the policy permits and which saves real time on repetitive writing.

Why C is wrong: Consistency with past cases sounds fair, but the outcome of a disciplinary case is a decision about a person. The policy requires a person to make it, and past outcomes may carry their own bias.

Why D is correct: Correct. Summarising a large volume of free-text comments is a strong fit for Claude, the comments are anonymised, and managers keep the decisions about what to do with the themes.

Why E is wrong: Speed is appealing, but a probation pass or fail decides whether someone keeps their job. Letting Claude make that call breaks the policy even if a manager wrote the underlying notes.

Exam traps in Workflow Integration and Solution Design

Answers that look right on this material and are not. Each one is a distractor from a different question in the CCAO-F bank for this domain.

  • Claude reads every response, so its theme percentages are exact and can go into the slides without further checking.

    Why it is wrong: It is tempting to assume that reading every response produces a precise count, but Claude's tallies of themes in free text can be approximate, so unchecked figures could mislead the board.

  • Recalculate all 4,000 transactions in Claude each month to confirm the spreadsheet totals.

    Why it is wrong: Double-checking figures feels responsible, but the formulas are already checked and exact, and a language model is not a more reliable calculator than a tested spreadsheet. This adds effort and a new source of error to the step that is already fast.

  • Ask Claude to settle each disagreement by picking the most sensible option and send that to the managers

    Why it 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.
