An operations analyst wants a Project to automatically pull data from the company's internal inventory system every hour, reconcile it against orders, and post discrepancies to a team channel. No connector exists for the inventory system. What is the most appropriate action?

Answer: D — Escalate the automation to Claude Developers or Architects; meanwhile use Claude on exports she already has.

Scheduled automation and integration with an internal system are technical work for Developers or Architects. She can still use Claude for analysis in the meantime (d). Instructions can't create an integration that doesn't exist (a). Hourly manual uploads (b) are a fragile workaround that piles up stale copies. Abandoning the work (c) ignores the help Claude can already give.
