Creating a Business Rule for Each Question

To begin answering questions a business user will need to start creating rules. A business rule can be easily created without the user having to consider how its implemented or the associated attribute. They only need to consider the type of data this rule will use and calculate. Later in the rule set development life cycle the technical user will organize the rule set into an executable structure. See Organizing Rules into Classes and Attributes.
