Anthropic CCAR-P - Claude Certified Architect - Professional

You are listing characteristics of strong architectural-decision communication.
Which two characteristics belong on the list? (Select two.)
Each correct answer presents a complete solution.

• A. Use of a consistent template across the team to standardize the visual presentation of decisions.
• B. Distribution to a standing review forum with mandatory attendance from senior engineering leaders.
• C. Omission of rejected alternatives to keep the decision document focused and concise for readers.
• D. Ownership and review cadence for revisiting the decision when conditions or assumptions change.
• E. Alternatives considered along with the criteria that were used to evaluate each alternative.

You are configuring Claude Code for a team that needs every engineer to share the same MCP server set, permission rules, and project context across the engineering monorepo.
Which configuration scope best supports this requirement?

• A. Local scope configured only on the lead architect's machine, with no configuration present on other engineers' machines and no mechanism to distribute MCP servers or permission rules.
• B. Project scope, with the configuration committed to the repository so every engineer working in the project receives the same MCP servers, permissions, and context.
• C. User scope, with the MCP server definitions and permission rules placed in each engineer's ~/.claude
  /settings.json and synchronized manually through a shared setup script outside version control.
• D. User scope configured individually on each engineer's machine, with no shared configuration committed to the repository and no guarantee of consistency across the team.

You must present an architectural recommendation to deploy a Claude-based contract review assistant to a steering committee that includes the CFO, the general counsel, and the CIO. Each stakeholder cares about different aspects of the decision.
How should you structure the recommendation document?

• A. Present the same dense narrative throughout with no stakeholder differentiation in any section.
• B. Lead with detailed cost projections across the full multi-year horizon before the rationale section.
• C. Lead with the architectural decision, then address each stakeholder's primary concerns directly.
• D. Lead with the technical architecture diagram and the full component list before any other section.

You are selecting the documentation set that should accompany a Claude-based deployment at handoff.
Which set is most complete?

• A. Architecture overview, ADRs, component-level diagrams, runbooks for common operations, an on-call playbook, and a list of known limitations.
• B. A verbal handover walkthrough conducted on the day of transition, with no written architecture overview, ADRs, runbooks, playbook, or known limitations captured for future reference.
• C. Code comments scattered across individual source files with no integrating architecture overview, no ADRs, no runbooks, and no on-call playbook to orient operators or new team members.
• D. A single one-page architecture diagram with no ADRs, no runbooks, no on-call playbook, and no list of known limitations to support operators or future maintainers.

You are evaluating an evaluation set used to score a Claude-based hiring-support tool. The set is drawn from one geographic region and one tenure band.
Which response is most appropriate?

• A. Discard all quantitative evaluation and replace it with qualitative impressions collected from a small, convenience-selected group that may not represent the tool's full user population.
• B. Reduce the evaluation set further to a single demographic subgroup to simplify score interpretation, narrowing coverage rather than expanding it to match the intended user population.
• C. Continue using the narrow evaluation set drawn from one region and one tenure band because the existing benchmark scores are already high on that subset.
• D. Expand the evaluation set to cover the geographic regions and tenure bands the tool will serve, and rescore the system on the expanded set before broader release.
