Field percentages are editorial estimates of the ticket's engineering focus. They total 100%; they are not measured time, proficiency scores, or ownership evidence.

The board opens an editable draft; nothing is saved until you confirm it. Sign-in and workspace permissions apply, and Demo boards remain ephemeral.
Project context
A fictional parts supplier combines contract prices with promotions. Sales needs repeatable quotes when rules change during checkout.
Setup prerequisites
- Create synthetic products and integer minor-unit prices.
- Implement a small local quote API.
Preceding work
Complete these dependencies, or supply their agreed outputs before taking this ticket.
- ARULE-101 · Define the supported promotion predicates without executable expressions
- ARULE-102 · Resolve overlapping promotions with an explicit tie-break policy
- ARULE-103 · Validate promotion date ranges before publishing drafts
- ARULE-104 · Freeze product and rule versions when a quote is accepted
- ARULE-106 · Keep negotiated account prices outside shared quote caches
- ARULE-107 · Report why a cart missed a promotion without leaking contract terms
Acceptance criteria
- Create and version a synthetic quote corpus.
- Report old and new totals plus changed rule identities.
- Flag unexplained differences before publication.
Implementation constraints
- The corpus is authored for this exercise; do not claim production coverage.
Verification to include
- Include bulk, small-cart and no-match examples.
- Insert an invalid draft and report validation failure instead of a comparison.
Deliverables
- Revision comparison command and synthetic corpus
Rollout and recovery
Require comparison review for draft publication; preserve earlier reports.
Value of the work
For the engineer: Practice deterministic rule evaluation, revision control and bounded execution.
For the team: Review explainable commercial rules without trusting opaque price changes.
Evidence boundaries
Outcome Evidence: Tests, patches, and runbooks are requested deliverables. They become Outcome Evidence only through a qualified Mission and immutable Evidence IDs.
Ownership Evidence: Independent adaptation must be observed under a declared verification policy and cite immutable Evidence IDs. Completing a planning ticket establishes no Ownership Evidence.
