The correct answers are B, C because Guidewire analysts are expected to challenge requests that simply reproduce legacy behavior without first evaluating business value, regulatory intent, and standard product capability.

B is correct because an analyst should first determine whether Guidewire Cloud Standards or existing pre-built capabilities can satisfy the need in a compliant way. Guidewire implementation guidance emphasizes using standard functionality and reusable content wherever possible before introducing custom solutions. This reduces complexity, improves maintainability, and aligns with the product-led implementation approach.

C is also correct because the analyst should not assume that the historical solution is still the best solution. A new regulatory requirement should trigger a review of the actual business and legal need, not just the old system’s behavior. By revisiting the regulation and exploring simplified approaches through standard application logic or business rules, the analyst helps the project focus on value and avoid unnecessary customization.

A is incorrect because copying the legacy module exactly can preserve outdated complexity instead of solving the real business requirement.

D is incorrect because jumping directly to a custom Gosu rule reflects a build-first mindset rather than a value-first, standard-first approach.

E is incorrect because analysts should validate assumptions about legacy behavior rather than treat legacy implementations as automatically correct.

This question reflects a key Guidewire analyst principle: understand the real need, challenge inherited complexity, and prefer standard, supportable solutions over direct legacy replication .
