Use the story and the [exhibits](exhibits.md) to support your answers. Some exhibits are illustrative until the practical is recorded. Use them to reason, and say so when you rely on them. There is no single right answer to most of these questions.

## Core questions

1. What changed when the work moved from "while she watched" in Case 1 to "while she slept" in this case? What did Nisha gain, and what did she have to do differently? Use Exhibits 3 and 8.
2. Which of Nisha's rules were enforced by a setting or a missing permission, and which were only words? Use Exhibit 6.
3. Look at who caught what in Exhibit 5. What does it suggest about using several reviewers? What could only Nisha do, and why?
4. If the AI Worker had emailed Mark its nightly update, whose name would have been on it? What would a business need to add to change that?
5. It is 10:40 on Thursday night. Which of the three replies would you send, and what would you tell Mark? Use evidence from the case, and name the risks.

## Optional questions

6. The lease thread could not tell from the files whether the lease was an operating lease or a finance lease, so it assumed an operating lease and listed that as an assumption. Should it have stopped and asked instead? Who could it have asked at 1 a.m.? Version 1 gave the finance lease answer only in a line under the total. Was that enough?
7. On Wednesday night the run stopped with a limit error and waited for the limit to reset. What should a nightly job do when it cannot finish? Who should find out, and when? When the thread continued on Thursday, how could Nisha be sure it used Wednesday's new instructions?
8. Mark mentioned five more jobs. How would Nisha's setup need to change to handle six jobs at once?
9. Nisha's fee was fixed. How does an AI Worker change the way an accountant should price work?
10. Is Nisha now running an AI Worker, or still managing a helper? Where is she on the ladder in [From helper to AI Worker](../behind-the-screen/from-helper-to-ai-worker.md)?

## Optional questions that connect to the series

11. **Where did the work live?** Which parts of the job lived in the Library, which in Nisha's own files and email, and which only inside the threads? If the project were deleted on Friday, what would she lose? Compare [Why the borrowed desk gets cleared](../behind-the-screen/why-the-borrowed-desk-gets-cleared.md) and [Projects: coordination on top of sessions](../architecture/projects-coordination-on-top-of-sessions.md).
12. **Containment or authority?** The threads could read the client's files but could not send anything. Which of the two protected Mark, and which protected Nisha? Compare [Security boundaries](../architecture/security-boundaries.md).
13. **A worker with its own badge.** If Nisha hired an assistant and moved to a team plan, could Claude Tag change the answer to core question 4? Rebuilt projects are not yet offered on Team or Enterprise plans, so what would she give up?[^team-plans] What would still be missing? Compare [Setting up the desk: keys, buildings and badges](../behind-the-screen/setting-up-the-desk-keys-buildings-and-badges.md) and [From personal worker to business worker](../architecture/from-personal-worker-to-business-worker.md).

[^team-plans]: As verified on November 9, 2026, Anthropic says "Projects aren't offered on Team or Enterprise plans yet." Let Claude coordinate ongoing work with Projects, Anthropic.
