Traps

  • Dev works, production fails → connection references and environment variables not configured in the target environment. This is both the real-world failure and the exam’s favourite.
  • Many phrasings not recognised → add varied trigger phrases and use generative understanding, not a longer response.
  • Topic-scoped variables die with the topic. Use conversation scope to carry values.
  • Instructing the model to respect permissions is not a control.
  • Stale answers after a document update → the knowledge index has not refreshed; the model did not memorise anything.
  • Cost is driven by conversation or message volume, not authors or documents.

Night-before checklist

  • Three areas; integration is the biggest block
  • Action versus generated text: deterministic, permission-aware, auditable
  • Escalation transfers context, it does not apologise
  • Check ID and proctoring rules — see exam day
