FAQ

Real questions. Real answers. Top questions from our community

Which public sector processes are most often automated?

Common use cases include sentence calculation, parole eligibility, Medicaid and SNAP eligibility, WIC administration, motor vehicle services, and education program management.

How does automation help with regulatory compliance?

By externalizing decision logic into a governed platform, every decision is logged, versioned, and auditable. InRule supports compliance with standards like CMS MITA and provides tracing features such as Visual Trace, Rule Application Reports, and regression testing logs.

Can automation reduce errors in high-stakes areas like sentencing?

Yes. InRule is already used in departments of corrections to eliminate manual errors in time calculations and parole eligibility. Machine learning models add accuracy to risk assessments while deterministic rules ensure transparency.

How does automation affect service delivery to citizens?

Automation shortens wait times, reduces errors, and ensures consistent outcomes. Self-service portals for DMV or benefits eligibility, for example, allow citizens to complete transactions instantly and reliably.

How does InRule support human oversight?

Not all public sector decisions can be fully automated. InRule’s process automation routes exceptions and high-value cases to human reviewers, logging actions for accountability and transparency.

 Look for:

  • Natural language rule modeling to capture regulations clearly
  • Testing and tracing features for audit readiness
  • Integration with existing government systems and secure data exchange
  • Versioning and rollback for safe policy updates
  • BPA capabilities like lists and forms to manage human workflows
