Wait, can we really deliver value with a 30% cut? Sounds tough!

I feel like reducing staff and adjusting scope, as in option D, could lead to burnout. It’s a tough balance to strike.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think balancing the team and providing training could help, like in that practice scenario we did.

I'm pretty confident that the answer is option B - create a customer service form and role, and make the balance field read-only. This seems like the most straightforward way to restrict the customer service team from updating the field.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by all the different AWS services mentioned. I'll need to review the details of each option carefully to understand the tradeoffs before deciding.

This seems like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully consider the different viewpoints before deciding which one is the best focus for the team.
