D makes sense if they meet the new criteria.

Wait, so they get both points? That seems off!

I think A is correct. No new actions for old matches.

I thought we learned that once a prospect is matched, they don't get additional points unless the rule is re-evaluated.

I feel like if they matched before, they wouldn't get the new points, but I can't recall if they keep the old ones.

I think I saw a similar question where changing criteria didn't retroactively apply new actions. So maybe it's A?

I remember we discussed how automation rules apply to new criteria, but I'm not sure if it affects past matches.

This is a tricky one, but I think the key is recognizing that the system won't automatically apply the new 75 point action to prospects who have already matched the original rule. I'll need to analyze each answer choice to determine which one accurately reflects that.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure here. The wording of the question is making me second-guess myself. I'll need to re-read the options carefully and think through the different scenarios to make sure I select the right answer.

I feel pretty confident about this one. The updated rule criteria and point value changes should only apply going forward, not retroactively. So prospects who have already matched the original rule should not receive any additional points.

Okay, let's think this through step-by-step. The key is understanding how the system will handle prospects who have already received the 50 points under the old rule. I'll need to evaluate each answer option to determine the most accurate statement.

This question seems straightforward, but I want to make sure I understand the implications of the rule changes. I'll need to carefully consider how the updated criteria and point values will impact prospects who have already matched the original rule.

But if they already matched the rule, wouldn't they get both sets of points?

I think the correct answer is B. The rule has been updated, so any prospects who already matched should get the new 75 point action instead of the old 50 points.
