✍️ Sample RCA Questions & Answers
1. How should a RCA professional handle a situation where regulatory compliance & legal framework protocols conflict with practical constraints?
When protocols conflict with practical constraints, the professional approach is to document the conflict and seek guidance, ensuring transparency and compliance while working toward a resolution.
2. What is the primary financial risk of not setting workspace storage limits in Relativity?
Without storage limits, data can grow without bound, resulting in storage costs that exceed the project budget.
3. What is the maximum recommended size for a single Processing Source Location data set before performance issues are likely to occur in Relativity?
Relativity does not publish a hard cap on source location size; practical limits depend on available server CPU, RAM, worker count, and network throughput.
4. What is the recommended practice for Relativity log file (LDF) placement on SQL Server?
LDF files generate sequential write I/O, so placing them on a dedicated high-speed disk prevents contention and optimizes transaction logging performance.
5. When configuring training materials in Relativity, which object type is most appropriate for storing reference documents reviewers can consult but not code?
Placing reference materials in a folder with a restricted coding layout (no fields) prevents reviewers from coding them while still providing access.
6. Which of the following is a valid reason to use multiple workflow rules rather than one rule with many actions?
Separate rules with distinct conditions allow different action chains to fire independently based on different document states.
