Question 1
CCA-F is a newly released exam. These practice questions reflect our best current understanding — the exact wording and question formats may change in the live exam until the certification matures. Use them to learn the concepts, not to memorize.
Scenario: Multi-agent Research System - A document analysis agent discovers that two credible sources contain directly contradictory statistics for a key metric: a government report states 40% growth, while an industry analysis states 12%. Both sources look credible, and the discrepancy could materially affect the research conclusions. How should the document analysis agent handle this situation most effectively? Which approach is most effective?
- AApply credibility heuristics to pick the most likely correct number, finish analysis with that value, and add a footnote mentioning the discrepancy.
- BInclude both numbers in the analysis output without marking them as conflicting, letting the synthesis agent decide which to use based on broader context.
- CStop analysis and immediately escalate to the coordinator, asking it to decide which source is more authoritative before continuing.
- DComplete analysis with both numbers, explicitly annotate the conflict with source attribution, and let the coordinator decide how to reconcile the data before passing to synthesis.
