&lt;p style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: justify&quot;>
    When they exist, precisely written business policy documents prove an excellent&amp;nbsp;source of information for rule
    elicitation. The advantage of a &quot;company certified&quot; policy document is that it is not&amp;nbsp;biased by&amp;nbsp;the
    individual practice of a subject matter expert.&amp;nbsp;In any case, the elicitation work performed&amp;nbsp;from a document
    should of course be corroborated by a subject matter expert, and usually takes frequent interaction with the SME to get
    some explanation on a rule or a term that might be unclear or ambiguous.&amp;nbsp;
