    The name should be explicit and without any ambiguity. It helps to link back to the business process or use case step.&#xD;
    An example may be &quot;claim data review&quot;, or &quot;loan eligibility&quot;...&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    The source for rule discovery describes the main sources of rule harvesting like human, code, database, book, policies,&#xD;
    legal&amp;nbsp;manual...&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    The current state of automation is optional and just list&amp;nbsp;if for this given decision point we can have tools which&#xD;
    can migrate the business rules&amp;nbsp;from one format to another.&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;p>&#xD;
    The last column can be useful to define who will be the owner of the rule set(s) supporting the decision point. He/She&#xD;
    will be an important actor of the rule discovery.&#xD;
