Study Note
This page brings together public scenario links and AI-assisted research notes for study use. Start with the scenario brief, make your own attempt, and open the spoiler section only when you are ready to compare.
Community-Compiled Content
All material on this page — scenario briefs, solutions, presentations, and Q&A discussions — is compiled from publicly available sources including YouTube walkthroughs, community blogs, CTA coaching sites, and mock board recordings. We have only organized and presented what was found online. The architectural approaches, product recommendations, and patterns discussed may not reflect current Salesforce products, naming conventions, or best practices.

Board Insights & Common Pitfalls
Generalized Judge Questions
- IoT Ingestion: “You chose Salesforce Connect for wearable readings. Why not Heroku Connect or Big Objects? How does your choice handle 50M+ records?”
- Data Residency: “What is your strategy for data residency if a specific region (e.g., Germany) mandates that health data must stay within its borders?”
- ERP Resilience: “If the ERP is down during a ‘Cancel Order’ call, how does your architecture behave? Did you consider a circuit breaker pattern?”
- Identity Security: “How are you securing the IoT data stream from devices into Salesforce? What OAuth or JWT flow is used for the SPA web shop?”
- Advisor Access: “How do you ensure a Health Advisor in Region A cannot see patient data in Region B? Why choose Partner Community licenses for them?”
Common Mistakes
- Salesforce Storage Bloat: Storing high-frequency wearable readings as standard Custom Objects exhausts storage limits immediately.
- Sync Overload: Using synchronous Request-Response for slow ERP validations locks the user interface and hits concurrency limits.
- HIPAA Compliance Gaps: Using standard Chatter for “Secure Messaging” without addressing encryption-at-rest (Shield) or strict HIPAA logging requirements.
- Big Bang Deployment: Proposing a global rollout for 200 countries simultaneously instead of a phased/pilot approach.
Strong Patterns
- Heroku Offloading: Using Heroku Postgres/Redis to ingest high-frequency IoT data, keeping the Salesforce core lean and performance-optimized.
- Shield for PHI: Mandating Salesforce Shield (Platform Encryption and Field Audit Trail) for sensitive health and PII data.
- LWC Virtualization: Surface historical health readings via an LWC querying an external data lake rather than migrating them into Salesforce.
Strategic Insights
- Standard First Model: Maintain a “Standard-First” object model (Accounts, Assets, Cases) even when the industry seems specialized.
- The “Why” Pattern: Judges look for business-reasoning justifications (e.g., “Heroku for scale”) rather than just stating the technology.
Additional Notes
- Focuses on healthcare/wearable IoT data, patient monitoring, and clinical trial support.
