Business rules

A set of guiding principles, much like a compass, that outline the policies, constraints, and conditions that govern the operation of a business, ensuring decisions and actions align with its objectives and values.

Example

A retail company may have a business rule that states, "A customer is eligible for free shipping if their order total exceeds $50." This rule helps the company encourage larger purchases while maintaining profitability, and it provides clear guidance to both employees and customers regarding shipping policies.
