<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">And, here's why there's no answer:</span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><br>
</span></font></p>20 or 10,000 - both has been reported - it depends on the quality of your problem and which technique you favour. Note: It's possible to trade rules against (supporting) fact data.<br><br>There is certainly no such number "x".<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Hi</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I am just
trying to get a feel of size of a typical rules application. How many
low-to-medium complex rules a typical rules application will have ? I
understand and agree that it totally depends upon the application and business
needs, but I am trying to get a feel of if rules is the correct solution to a
problem and if that can be determined by number of rules. </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">e.g. </span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">if to
satisfy a business need, I wrote a rules application and ended up writing say
20 medium-complex rules and in another case, I wrote a rules application and
ended up writing say 10,000 low/medium complex rules</span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">which one of these two cases sound like real, logical
candidate for a rules based app and why ? Is there a rule of thumb,
that “x” number of rules is a good number for an application to
qualify under rules technology ?</span></font></p>
