Anthropic Claude Certified Architect - Professional - CCAR-P

You are choosing the level of detail for an implementation guide. The audience is a delivery team that will build the deployment.
Which guidance composition best serves them?

• A. An architecture overview and sequence diagrams for the dominant flows, without interface contracts, configuration-parameter tables, or operational runbooks for the delivery team to follow.
• B. Component responsibilities, contracts between components, sequence diagrams of the dominant flows, configuration parameters with defaults, and operational runbooks.
• C. Component responsibilities and interface contracts only, without sequence diagrams of the dominant flows, configuration parameters with defaults, or runbooks to guide operational tasks.
• D. An architecture overview and a list of known limitations, without component-level diagrams, interface contracts, configuration parameters, or operational runbooks to support implementation.

You are diagnosing a Claude Code session whose subagent uses 50,000 tokens of context before the engineer types a single message.
Which root cause is most likely?

• A. The developer ' s keyboard layout or input-method configuration is the cause of the elevated context consumption, introducing extra tokens before the engineer types any message.
• B. Many MCP servers are configured, each contributing tool definitions to the context budget; Tool Search is not enabled, so all definitions load upfront.
• C. The model has internal personal preferences or default behaviors that silently consume large portions of context budget before any user message is processed, independent of tool configuration.
• D. The font rendering or display-scaling settings of the IDE are converting visual output into additional context tokens, causing the high pre-session context consumption.

You are a solution architect evaluating candidate use cases for a Claude-based program.
For each scenario, select Yes if Claude is appropriate as the primary solution at the architectural level.
Otherwise, select No.

You are reviewing instrumentation in a multi-agent system.
Which two findings constitute valid observability gaps in the instrumentation? (Select two.) Each correct answer presents a complete solution.

• A. Request-scoped correlation identifiers do not propagate across agent and tool calls.
• B. Tool-call payloads and outcomes are recorded with redaction applied to known sensitive fields.
• C. Trace spans for each agent step are exported to the shared distributed-tracing backend.
• D. Latency and token usage on every span are emitted to the central metrics pipeline.
• E. Model identity and version on each turn are not recorded with the turn artifacts.

You are designing a feedback session for a deployment in flight.
Which structure best supports productive stakeholder feedback?

• A. End the session without recording decisions, follow-up items, action owners, or dates, relying on participant memory to carry the session's outcomes forward.
• B. Hold an open-ended meeting with no pre-distributed agenda or artifacts, and rely on participants' memory to carry decisions and follow-up owners forward.
• C. Define a focused agenda, share the artifacts in advance, capture decisions and follow-ups in writing, and confirm action owners and dates.
• D. Distribute artifacts at the session start rather than in advance, so stakeholders review materials in real time without preparation before the discussion begins.
