ClearState checks the facts of a real transaction against the frozen rulebook before the action goes ahead. It keeps a record of which rules and which facts applied.
A declaration is about to be submitted. The importer is approved, the goods are valid, the limit allows it. Nobody checked, at that moment, whether the remaining guarantee could take it. It goes through. The problem shows up weeks later.
ClearState checks this before the action, not after.
A rulebook cannot tell you that money is available or that a limit has room. ClearState checks the rulebook and the current facts together.
In financial flows that can include credit limits, insurance limits, guarantee limits and available funds. Each limit is checked on its own; they are never added into one number.
The action can proceed, or it stops. If it stops, ClearState tells you why: a rule blocks it, something required is still missing, or the rulebook does not cover the case. Never a score.
The rules permit the action. The record shows which rule and who had the authority.
A rule blocks the action. The record shows which rule.
The decision cannot be completed with what is available right now. Required information, confirmation or another required condition may be missing. It is not a denial.
The rulebook does not cover the case with a rule and responsible authority. It must be defined before the action can proceed.
Most systems tell you that something stopped. ClearState tells you which of these it is.
ClearState does not replace your systems. It checks before they act. Your systems then handle only decisions that were already checked.
Build the rulebook first. When you want to check real decisions against it before execution, ClearState is the next step. You keep the rulebook whatever you decide.
