Identify the rules that determine the values at which an objective can be delivered

For each objective, you must analyze the value(s) to be used when it is delivered (i.e. during periods when the overall case is eligible, and also that the case is entitled to the objective).

Earlier you analyzed each type of objective to understand the frequencies at which instances may be delivered; now for each these frequencies you must analyze how the Engine will calculate value of an objective instance at that frequency.

For some simple products, the value may be a fixed rate (possibly retrieved from a rate table); for other more complex products, the value may be a complex calculation involving the case's circumstances.

It is common to see a pattern whereby the value for one frequency provided by a calculation, and then values for other frequencies based on it. For example, on one product there may be a complex calculation to provide a daily rate for an entitlement, but the calculation for the weekly rate is simple 7 x <daily rate>; or on another product, there may be a complex calculation for a monthly rate, and then the daily rate is calculated as 12 x <monthly rate> / 365, rounded up to the nearest cent (in favor of the claimant).

Note that the Engine does not enforce these patterns; the calculation of each frequency's value can be as complex as business requirements dictate.
