Best practices in designing decisions

When creating a business model in Blueriq, one must always aim to model decisions that can be easily understood by the business. To verify whether the level of complexity of th decisions is acceptable, a DRG can be generated at any time in the design process. This DRG is then used to visualize the decision and its sub decisions and by that give insight to a business engineer and for instance an analyst on how this particular decision is made.

Some best practices when designing decisions is given below. It is not to be used as "the one and only way" but should be treated as a possible means to create understandable decisions.

...

Ask yourself the question what the main decision is. If you think of more than one answer, split these decisions if possible.
For instance, if you main decision is "the amount and duration of a child care benefit" or "the fee for a small building permit" you are are actually modeling two decisions. Design them separately and reuse attributes that accommodate both decisions.
