What takes precedence during the rule resolution process?

In the rule resolution process, rule purpose takes precedence as it directly defines the intended outcome or behavior of the rule within the context of the application. The purpose of a rule helps Pega determine which rule should be applied based on the current scenario it is handling. It corresponds to the specific requirements that the rule is designed to fulfill, which guides the resolution process effectively.

While other factors such as rule availability, complexity, and user role also play significant roles in determining which rules are considered and how they are applied, they do not dictate the fundamental intent behind the rule. The purpose is what aligns the rule with the needs of the business process, ensuring that the correct logic is applied in a manner that fulfills these needs. Thus, understanding the purpose of a rule is crucial for accurately resolving which rule should be executed in any given context.
