+
+5 declarative rules are readable. Auditable. The next developer can understand them, compliance can sign off on them, and when something goes wrong you can debug them. That's not a convenience — it's a requirement.
+
+Our A/B test on a 3-table system measured this directly: 5 declarative rules vs. ~220 lines of AI-generated procedural code — a 44X reduction. That 44X compounds: a larger system needs proportionally more procedural code to cover the same change paths, while the rule count grows with the requirements, not with the paths. Code nobody can read, verify, or safely change. Unreadable at scale is ungovernable at scale.
+
+And there's a structural problem underneath: procedural code cannot represent transitive dependencies reliably. The AI diagnosed this itself — *"Business logic is not a coding problem. It's a dependency graph problem."* That's not a capability gap. No amount of AI capability fixes a representation problem.
