What if · the follow-ups in this answer

The answer works through 4 follow-ups like an interviewer would

Isha reviews a fictional customer-email assistant. A colleague wants automatic replies after a promising filter evaluation, but the sender has not yet been shown to enforce the proposed recipient grant.

  1. The colleague offers to add a confirmation click. Does that close the recipient gap?
  2. A standing grant already permits replies to the selected customer. Must each reply still be confirmed?
  3. No safe demonstration has found a bypass. Is the unsupported launch claim now established?
  4. How should the meeting end?

Each rung has a nudge, a model answer, the principle that carries over and the weak answer to avoid. Premium opens every answer and ladder.
