AI Workflow Automation Quiz

Answers and explanations appear as you take the quiz.

1. When mapping an automated workflow, which parts should be marked separately?
   • Only the model prompt and vendor
   • Trigger, inputs, decision points, actions, and completion condition
   • Only the first and last screen
   • The number of steps that use AI
2. A model classifies an invoice, and code sends payment. What validation is needed before payment?
   • Check only that the response is valid JSON
   • Ask the same model whether it is safe
   • Check the schema and meaning, including account, amount, destination, and authorization
   • Trust the classification label as permission
3. A request times out after an external action may have succeeded. What should a retry do?
   • Repeat immediately because there was no response
   • Assume the operation definitely failed
   • Start a duplicate workflow under a new identifier
   • Reconcile durable state and operation identifiers before repeating side effects
4. What does a valid structured model output establish?
   • That it meets a format contract, not that its meaning or scope is correct
   • That the action is authorized
   • That all values match source records
   • That downstream execution is safe
5. Why narrow the model-dependent step in an automation?
   • It removes the need for retry handling
   • A smaller uncertain part is easier to test and contain
   • It guarantees that the model will not fail
   • It makes permissions unnecessary
6. A workflow partially completes before a timeout. Which design helps avoid duplicate effects?
   • Randomly changing the identifier on every retry
   • Discarding all completion records
   • Durable state and stable operation identifiers
   • Using a longer model prompt
7. What makes human approval useful for a proposed automated action?
   • A single approve button with no details
   • A notification after the action has run
   • A model-generated claim that the action is low risk
   • Enough context for the reviewer to assess the action and its scope
8. Which outcome better measures automation quality than step count?
   • Correct completed workflows and manual recovery burden
   • Number of model calls
   • Number of automated steps executed
   • Average prompt length
