Explanation

In a RACI matrix (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed), Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) are classified as 'Consulted.' Because the project manager is unfamiliar with the domain, SMEs are brought in to provide expert knowledge and guidance-they give input and are asked for their expertise, but they do not perform the work directly. They are not delegated tasks (that implies ownership of deliverables), not simply instructed (that implies they follow orders), and 'employed' is not a RACI category. 'Consulted' is the correct RACI role for advisory stakeholders whose knowledge is needed.
