What should happen when a rule fails?
| State | Meaning | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Pass | The field satisfies the rule for this decision | Admit, while preserving the evidence |
| Fail | The observed value violates the rule | Hold, correct, or route to the responsible owner |
| Unknown | The system cannot determine the state | Do not silently treat it as pass or fail |
| Not applicable | The rule does not apply at this grain or scope | Record the exclusion condition |
| Stale | The value was once usable but exceeds the freshness window | Revalidate before using it |
| Duplicate | More than one record may represent the same entity | Resolve the match before aggregation |
