    When they exist, precisely written business policy documents prove an excellent&amp;nbsp;source of information for rule&#xD;

    should of course be corroborated by a subject matter expert, and usually takes frequent interaction with the SME to get&#xD;
    some explanation on a rule or a term that might be unclear or ambiguous.&amp;nbsp;&#xD;
