Worksheet: Operational Rule and Verification

On this page

Rule Definition

Item Record
Original statement How the operational request was expressed
Confirmed meaning Fact, hard condition, soft condition or preference
Object and period Business identity and validity
Unit and limits Quantity, time, ratio or variable meaning
Source and owner Evidence and approving role
Input location Data, objective, rule interface or application measure
Application point Action or model that applies it
Conflict handling Who decides when conditions conflict
Expiry Renew, remove or review

Four Checks

  1. Can the definition be restated as a precise condition?
  2. Was the input parsed into the correct report?
  3. Did the capability read the rule and add it to the model or follow-up processing?
  4. Do configuration and execution records show that the rule was applied, and do the affected results meet it?

Check valid input, invalid objects, expired rules and conflicts. Record proposals as awaiting confirmation, adopted or executed. Track model-rule application separately from execution of a business measure.
