A project manager is defining how Claude can support requirements analysis for an upcoming engagement.

Option C is correct because requirements analysis is grounded in evidence gathered during discovery. Claude can help organize interview notes and process documentation, identify recurring themes, extract candidate requirements, flag conflicts, and produce a consistent structure. Requiring traceability to each source allows analysts to verify the output and return unclear or disputed requirements to the relevant stakeholder.

Option A asks Claude to invent a complete requirements set from insufficient context. Similar projects may provide useful hypotheses, but they cannot substitute for the organization’s actual stakeholders, constraints, workflows, and objectives. Option B unnecessarily limits Claude’s role: Claude can support synthesis and extraction as well as prioritization, provided qualified humans verify the results. Option D transfers the stakeholder-interview responsibility too broadly. Claude may help prepare questions, summarize authorized transcripts, or organize findings, but human analysts should manage stakeholder relationships, pursue contextual follow-ups, and interpret sensitive or ambiguous responses.

Anthropic recommends providing clear context and structured instructions, while its hallucination guidance advises grounding factual work in source text and auditable citations. A structured, source-traceable requirements list applies both principles and keeps humans responsible for validation and final decisions.
