This question seems straightforward - I just need to identify the two options that would improve the company's short-term cash flow. I'll carefully consider each choice and select the best two.

I think one of the correct answers is definitely about detecting when the workload has reached a threshold. It feels familiar, like a practice question we had on capacity management.
