An HR coordinator must sort about 1,200 short open-text survey comments into six fixed themes by end of day. The categories are clear and a misfiled comment is easy to correct later. Which model choice best fits?

Answer: B — A fast, lower-cost model such as Haiku, with a spot-check of a sample of results.

Simple, well-defined, high-volume work with low error cost fits a fast, low-cost model, and a sample spot-check confirms it's good enough (b). The most capable model (a) adds time and cost the task doesn't need. 'Newest is always best' (c) ignores the cost, speed and quality trade-off. Abandoning the task (d) is unnecessary when a suitable model and a spot-check handle it.
