Why rules and processes still matter in the AI era
Business rules and process automation remain superior for core enterprise needs:- Deterministic execution — identical inputs always produce identical outputs.
- Microsecond-level speed at high volume.
- Full auditability — every outcome records which rules fired and why.
- Business ownership — analysts own the logic, not a black-box model.
