The Final Panel Solution Design Walk-Through
Explore how to lead a final panel solution design for deploying Claude in a regulated environment. Understand how to scope problems, identify trade-offs, address security and compliance, and defend design choices for an enterprise telecom customer with strict EU data residency requirements.
The solution design in Anthropic’s final panel asks a candidate to architect a Claude deployment for an enterprise customer. The prompt is short on purpose. The candidate is expected to lead by scoping the problem, naming trade-offs, and raising failure modes before the interviewer asks. Waiting for the interviewer to narrow the problem reads as a weakness at this level.
The panel also probes the parts of a deployment that sales demos skip. Those parts include security, compliance, where the data goes, and how anyone will know the system works. The walk-through below works through one regulated prompt from the first minute to the closing summary.
A European telecom wants a Claude support agent that answers billing questions and makes simple account changes for its customers. Customer data must stay in the EU. How would you design it?
Taking control of the opening minutes

Channels: Chat in the app, a web widget, or voice. Voice adds speech handling and tighter latency limits.
Volume: Conversations per day and the peak hour. This drives cost and capacity.
Account changes: Which changes the agent may make, such as switching a plan or adding a data bundle, ...
