Business Rules Collaboration

Collaboration to develop the business rules begins at the onset of the engagement and continues throughout the process.  Initial business rule definitions are based on the known available data and determine the primary record source for each data point. As data gaps are realized, secondary and tertiary records are identified to fill the gaps. Business Rules allow for the standardization attributes by defining the unit of measure, the numerical format, the degree of accuracy (decimals), and if calculated how the value is derived. Business Rules are the foundation for creating complete and defensible data. Business Rules clearly define the process for collecting, validating and standardizing data, making the process reliable. The process is repeated for each attribute and therefor traceable.
