RulesBase
RulesBase is a new financial and logical analysis tool designed for complex and highly flexible analyses - think of it as a cross between a spreadsheet and a programming language! RulesBase makes modeling complex spreadsheets faster, more accurate, and self-documenting. It does this by processing natural language-based formulas ("Rules") and presenting the results through spreadsheets ("Grids"). The Rules contain all of the data and logic behind an analysis. RulesBase allows the user to write spreadsheets the way they think: one formula represents a column of data. RulesBase can also handle flexible analyses, and exceptions are documented along with the rest of the Rules.
The RulesBase methodology allows:
pre-defined subsets of Rules to be incorporated into models using a building block approach.
time savings when building similar models and rechecking formulas.
multiple users or even different departments can work independently and merge models.
formulas don't have to be repeated from grid to grid.
Auditable models, with self-documenting language, in-line comments and built-in tracking of historical changes.
a common language usable by all parties to a transaction, whether IT staff, lawyers, or senior management.
