In this lesson
Prepare for the Claude Certified Architect – Foundations exam, on the exam guide version 1.0, effective July 2026. In this lesson: explicit criteria instead of vague instructions, what to report and what to skip, false positives and developer trust, severity criteria with code examples, and few-shot examples for format, ambiguous cases, generalization, and extraction. Includes three original practice questions.

- Claude’s review findings come back in a different shape every time: a paragraph, a list, and rarely a line number. What is the most effective fix?
- Kestrel’s extraction from supplier spec sheets often leaves the weight field empty, although every sheet states the weight, sometimes as “about two kilos” in the text, sometimes in a table. What helps most?
