Topic #: 2

What should NTO do to achieve this?

Suggested Answer: C Vote an answer

The AI pattern works when the model is grounded in appropriate Data 360 data and its outputs can be operationalized safely. Connect the trained model in Data 360 in Bring Your Own Model (BYOM). fits because predictions or generative experiences are only useful when the data is representative, governed, and connected to Salesforce execution patterns such as scoring jobs, Flow, or grounded retrieval. The distractors fall short because they either move the problem into the wrong system, add needless duplication, ignore Data
360 object relationships, or rely on a feature built for a different lifecycle stage. In a real implementation, those choices usually create brittle pipelines, stale data, security exposure, or segments that look correct on paper but fail when activated. Thinking like an architect, the selected option places the logic where Data 360 can govern it and reuse it reliably. This is the nuance exam questions often test: the platform capability must match both the technical layer and the business timing requirement, not just sound related to data.
