Examples
These example models describe business and give you the opportunity to see and understand AM from a concrete perspective. Not possibilities — real examples!
The examples are rich because they are intended to show the full capabilities of AM. They appear complex, because real business is complex. But always the decisions and connections can be observed from perspectives. And always the implications of business improvement ideas can be confirmed from all the perspectives.
Recruitment Management includes more manual assertions where decisions by the authority are not automatically calculated, but considered by a person.
Order Entry emphasizes automated assertions, where code will implement the decisions.
Both examples include rationale (built into the model) for why the example business have been designed as it is. You will identify places where your view of the business differs. That is because AM is so explicit. You can even ask for your own copy of these examples to model in Assertionizer. When you model , you think business, not how to use the methodology!

Order Entry Model !
The industry uses Order Entry as an oversimplified example for a wide range of methodologies. This example shows how complex Order Entry can be and helps tame the complexity of real business description. This example was undertaken to explore the capabilities of AM to create rich and formal specifications for a business to be automated. The specifications recognize the structure of an implemented set of software components. They map between the two realms.
