You run the same content check through several independent calls and block the content only if most agree. What is this called?
Why A is the answer
Parallelization with voting
Parallelization has two forms: sectioning splits work into independent parts, and voting runs the same task several times to compare the answers.
In detail
- Parallelization has two forms: sectioning and voting.
- Voting runs the same task several times and compares the answers.
- Voting costs a call per vote, so keep it for decisions that justify it.
Use case
An illustrative scenario, not a real incident.
A forum runs a content check three times. A post is blocked only if at least two calls flag it, which cuts false alarms from one odd result.

Why the other options are wrong
- B. Prompt chaining
- Chaining passes output from one step to the next.
- C. Orchestrator-workers
- Workers handle different subtasks, not the same check.
- D. Routing
- Routing sends an input down one path.
