Yeah, but it also takes more time to do it after, right?

I wonder if not being able to compare the effectiveness of different cleansing methods is a significant drawback, but I can't recall if that was emphasized in our studies.

I feel like the extra computational effort and time could be a concern, but it seems less relevant compared to the impact on the data sets.

I remember practicing a question about data partitioning, and I think it was mentioned that performing cleansing before partitioning could violate model assumptions.

I think one drawback is that it might omit the training and test data sets from the benefits of the cleansing methods, but I'm not entirely sure.

Okay, let me think this through. We need to restrict access based on the resource and the HTTP method. That means we need to look at both the resource and the action being performed. So I'm going to go with option C, resource and action.

Okay, I've got an idea. Since the question is asking about what service consumers' work involves and how technology helps them, I'm guessing the answer is probably related to understanding the customer's perspective and needs. I'll go with Customer engagement.
