Abstract
An apparatus includes an execution module, a determination module, and a generation module. In one embodiment, the execution module parses a business rule as input into a meta rule on a rule engine. The meta rule includes a first expression defining one or more style conditions for business rules. The business rule includes a second expression defining logic for an entity. The determination module, in one embodiment, determines that a business rule violates a style condition defined by the meta rule. The business rule and the meta rule conform to a common business rule syntax. The generation module, in one embodiment, generates a notification in response to determining that the business rule violates the style condition of the meta rule.
