Business Rules and Decision Logic
Business rules determine what should happen when defined conditions are true.
Practical note: process design depends on organization, data, controls, laws, contracts and technology. Treat examples and calculators as educational planning aids, then validate changes against your own requirements.
Make policy explicit
Eligibility thresholds, approval limits and routing conditions should be documented rather than hidden in spreadsheets or individual judgment.
Separate process from decision
The workflow asks for a decision; the rule logic determines the answer. This separation can make both easier to understand and maintain.
Govern changes
Rule owners, effective dates, test cases and audit history reduce the risk of silent policy drift.
