Rule pack

A versioned, counsel-reviewed set of state rules as code: each with an ID, a citation, a check, and an outcome — allowed, blocked, clock, or UNKNOWN. UNKNOWN routes to a named person; it is never guessed.

Why it matters for reconciliation: reporting windows, tolerances, reason codes and tax fields differ by state, and a check written once cannot cover them all. A pack keeps each state's rules as versioned code with a citation, so a check says which rule it applied.

Example: the same discrepancy is classed the same way in two states, but the pack for one sets a reporting window and a tolerance and the other does not. Where a rule is unclear, the outcome is UNKNOWN and goes to a named person instead of a guess.

Where this comes up on budally.com

  • UNKNOWN (rule outcome)

    The rule-pack outcome when a state's position isn't established. It routes to a named person and blocks any draft until decided — the alternative to guessing with a license.

  • MSO

    Multi-state operator: a company holding cannabis licenses in more than one state, typically with several POS systems and rule sets inherited through acquisition.
