Question 140
A department pays high inference costs for repeated identical policy summaries. A committee must choose between software suppliers using survey feedback and legal restrictions. Which course of action addresses the stated issues?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Reusing validated outputs avoids needless repeated processing while still requiring refresh when evidence changes. A two-stage decision prevents a popular but disallowed option from winning the shortlist.
Incorrect Answers
The first action is suitable, but the second action addresses evidence-led cost analysis rather than constraint-first supplier selection. Analysis prompts should distinguish data-supported patterns from untested causal explanations. Any proposed cause still needs testing against operational records. The second requirement remains unresolved.
Although it includes other work, this choice does not cache approved reusable summaries when the source and requirements are unchanged. Reusing validated outputs avoids needless repeated processing while still requiring refresh when evidence changes.
Drafting and critical evaluation have different capability needs and need not use one tier for every step. By contrast, reusing validated outputs avoids needless repeated processing while still requiring refresh when evidence changes.
