When defining scope based on specific strategic initiatives and guiding principles (such as "only change those things essential"), the Business Analyst must map requirements directly to the stated business rules and critical success factors.

Requirement D (Log Intake):The scenario explicitly states:"The log's details are essential to validation and analysis... claimants must provide the log."Option D directly captures this by requiring the log to be received, reviewed, and attached. This is the core data intake requirement.

Requirement C (Validation Rule):The scenario states:"Without the application log, claims should not be processed to indemnification."Option C directly maps to this business rule. It utilizes base product capabilities (Validation Rules) to enforce the "No Log, No Pay" constraint, ensuring the initiative's security and validity.

Why other options are incorrect:

Option B (OEM Integration):The scenario mentions leveraging integration "where possible," but creates a requirement for "application logs," not direct integration with "top five vehicle manufacturers." Adding a rigid schedule ("one integration every 30 days") is a high-cost, high-complexity constraint that contradicts the principle of maintaining base functionality and minimizing cost/maintenance unless explicitly required.

Option A (Mileage):While mileage is part of the concept, theessentialrequirement described for the claim process is thevalidation of the logfor the incident. Tracking mileage is secondary to the critical path of validating the accident data via the log.
