  Structural Rules: Define categorizations, definitions, or relationships within the organization. They determine how concepts are structured or classified (e.g., "A customer is defined as someone who has made a purchase in the last 12 months"). Operative Rules: Enforce business policies or decision-making guidelines that govern actions, processes, or behaviors (e.g., "All refund requests over $500 require managerial approval"). The BABOK Guide (Chapter 10: Techniques - Business Rules Analysis) clarifies this distinction: Structural rules establish the logical framework for how information is organized. Operative rules dictate what must or must not be done based on organizational policies
