It's been a while since I used a Rete rule engine, back in my days as math nerd at a mortgage bank (ooof we survived the 08 meltdown by the skin of our teeth) we used an internal fork of Drools and paired it with a merkle tree datasctructure to store lending decisions.... I knew blockchain was gonna be a thing when the genesis block referenced the bailout... I kick myself daily cause should've bought more bitcoin.

I don't understand. If you're already building the rules, why have a clanker summarize and guess why the result happened when you can display the rules that passed/failed?
