The award is 90 pages. The roster is due Friday.
Interpretation happens under deadline, from memory, differently at every site. Nobody chose to apply the rule inconsistently — there was no other way to apply it.
Platform / Domain Packs
Awards, enterprise agreements, care-minute obligations, credential requirements, internal policy — today they live in PDFs and people's heads. Domain Packs encode them as versioned, expert-validated, executable rules that run against every workforce decision, every cycle.

The problem
The obligations that decide whether people are paid correctly, staffed legally, and cared for properly sit in PDFs, intranet policies, and the memory of whoever has been here longest.
Interpretation happens under deadline, from memory, differently at every site. Nobody chose to apply the rule inconsistently — there was no other way to apply it.
Payroll holds one version of the rule, rostering another, the spreadsheet a third. The same shift can be "correct" in three systems and wrong in reality.
Remediation programs start with one question — "which rule did we apply, and when?" If the answer lives in documents and memory, reconstructing it is a forensic project.
Anatomy of a Domain Pack rule
A lawyer can tell you what the award requires. A Domain Pack checks that you complied with it — every employee, every cycle. Each rule carries six elements that turn a clause into a control:
How a pack comes to life
The interpretation your operations run on shouldn't be whatever the software vendor guessed. Domain Packs are validated by independent domain experts — and every change is a new version, not a silent edit.
The rules you're held to — award clauses, agreement terms, care obligations, internal policy — are encoded with the source reference attached to every rule.
Independent specialists — employment, payroll, care compliance — validate the interpretation before it runs. Authority for what the rule means stays separate from the software that executes it.
When the regulation changes, the pack versions. Every decision records which version it ran under — so "what rule applied in March?" has an instant answer.
What changes
Without encoding, every rule application is an opinion formed under deadline. With Domain Packs:
