Classify Inputs and Justify Tools

Work through the explanation, apply it to the example, and complete the quick check before continuing.

Complete the input register. For every source, record origin, classification, permission, and minimum necessary version.

Then separate task parts: search, extraction, calculation, generation, analysis, and approval. Match each part to the best tool. Current claims need current authoritative sources; exact calculations need repeatable tools; formal decisions need authorised people.

State which tools you rejected and why. Choose single response, assisted steps, or agentic process. Agentic work requires a clear benefit and stronger permissions, confirmation, monitoring, logs, recovery, and stop controls. It is usually unnecessary for this capstone.
