Recognising When a Prototype Has Become a System | CCAO-F Exam

Use Claude to support solution design, development, and iteration

SUBy Solomon UdohReviewed by Solomon UdohAI-assisted · human-reviewed
In short
Recognising when a prototype has become a system means identifying the escalation signal where a Claude-built tool has grown from an internal helper into infrastructure other people rely on, and so belongs with Developer or Architect expertise rather than continued prompt-and-iterate work. The signal to escalate is dependency, meaning people relying on it with uptime, security, or integration needs, not the tool's complexity or how many iterations it has been through.
