The problem: judgment calls with no record

Some rules can't be calculated. When applicability decisions live in emails, there's no record of who decided or why.

Some rules depend on how a product is used, who it's sold to or what claim it makes. A system can't calculate those, so the decision gets made in a meeting or an email and the formula carries no trace of it.

What this demo shows

  1. See a pass with an asterisk.
  2. Record the applicability decision in the formula.
  3. See who made the call and when.

Why it matters

When an auditor or customer asks why a rule didn't apply, the answer should be on the formula. Recording the decision, who made it and when keeps the judgment with the product it affects.

Flagging these rules in the recipe also stops them being silently treated as passes, so every conditional rule gets a deliberate decision.

Read the transcript

Uncountable is where coatings teams build their formulas. Some rules state a condition of use, but no number to check. The recipe flags them and does not guess. This enamel is an industrial coating, so the formulator marks that rule not applicable. The recipe records the decision, who made it, and when. Now, the EU result is a clean pass, and the decision stays on the record.

Every decision on the record.

FAQs

How does Uncountable handle rules without a numeric limit?

Rules that state a condition of use are flagged in the recipe rather than guessed.

How are applicability decisions recorded?

The formulator marks the rule as applicable or not, and the recipe records the decision, who made it and when.

Does the decision stay with the formula?

Yes. The decision stays on the record alongside the result.
