Condition and Parallel look almost identical on the canvas and do different jobs. One is routing, where exactly one branch runs; the other is concurrency, where any number can.

What You Will Learn
- Condition versus Parallel: one winning branch with a fallback, against independent branches running at once
- Three ways to decide a branch, and why an LLM condition costs a model call and can be wrong
- How Parallel merges its branches, and why a synthesiser agent after it beats asking the merge to think
- ForEach for many records and Use Case for reuse, and why you test with three items before you run four hundred
- Why Parallel buys you latency, not budget
- Lab 4: classify the input, route it three ways including a fallback, and gather from two sources at once
