What is a notable timing/versioning advantage of VCPs?

• A. Time based execution allows multiple versions to automatically execute based on data call timing.
• B. VCPs run only once.
• C. VCPs require manual triggering for each calculation.
• D. VCPs execute only on a fixed schedule independent of data calls.

Answer: (A)

VCPs are designed for time-based execution where the version used for a calculation is chosen automatically based on when the data call happens. You can have multiple versions of the same calculation policy, each with its own effective timing, so as a data call comes in the system picks the version that matches that moment. This lets you evolve logic safely—deploy a new version and gradually shift new data calls to it as its timing window activates—without disrupting ongoing processes. The other options don’t fit because they imply manual triggering, a single run, or a fixed schedule that doesn’t align with the actual data call timing, which would prevent automatic, version-aware execution.
