Prepare for the Claude Certified Architect – Professional exam, on the exam guide version 1.0, effective July 2026. In this lesson: the augmented model (retrieval, tools, and memory), workflows with predefined paths (prompt chaining, routing, parallelization, orchestrator workers, and the evaluator optimizer), agents for open-ended problems, their costs and guardrails, and how to choose and combine the patterns. Includes three original practice questions.

- Investigating a suspicious claim means following leads: each lookup decides the next one, and the number of steps varies. Which design fits?
