// MISSION BRIEF
Your Mission
CrewAI's process parameter decides how tasks flow: Process.sequential runs them in listed order, Process.hierarchical puts an LLM manager in charge of delegation. One is predictable, one is not, and testing them the same way is a mistake.
Scoring: equal weight per question.
// FIRST CONTACT
Battle teaser
In Process.sequential, tasks execute:

- BIn the order they appear in the tasks list, with earlier outputs available as context to later tasks
- CIn random order chosen by the LLM

Answers, scoring, hints, and the full battle stay sealed.
