I thought it could be start to start, but I see the logic now!

Yup, finish to start is the standard approach for this.

Wait, are we sure about that? What if testing overlaps with release?

I agree, finish to start makes the most sense here.

Definitely finish to start! Testing has to be done first.

I think finish to start makes the most sense here, but I’m a bit confused about the other options.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like we practiced a similar question where the testing had to be completed first. Could it be start to start?

I remember we discussed that testing should always happen before releasing, so I think it has to be a finish to start relationship.

I recall that finish to start is the standard for dependencies like this, but I wonder if there are exceptions we might have missed.

I feel pretty confident about this one. The organization has made significant progress, but the remaining gaps in key areas like risk assessment and data classification suggest this is likely a major non-conformity.

Okay, I've got a strategy. I'm going to carefully read through the answer choices and think about how each component could potentially impact the alert delivery process. That should help me narrow it down.

I think I've got this one. Statement A is incorrect - rapid growth would actually lead to a higher probability of default, not lower, as the company may be overextending itself. I'll select that option.
