# clsLossBase

Abstract loss-data base class that implements the shared loss contract for unit-stat reporting.

## Purpose

- Provide common loss-reporting properties and derived calculations.
- Implement the loss-side reportability and catastrophe tests used by downstream concrete types.

## Context

- Namespace: `SAIF.Business.UnitStat`
- Assembly/package: `SAIF.Business.UnitStat` (distributed as NuGet package `SAIF.BOF.Business.UnitStat`)

## Behavioral notes

- [BR-US-021](../../business-rules.md#br-us-021-a-loss-is-reportable-if-it-has-claim-costs-incurred-medical-0-or-incurred-indemnity-0-or-is-a-catastrophe-claim), [BR-US-022](../../business-rules.md#br-us-022-outstanding-reserves-equal-incurred-amounts-minus-paid-amounts), and [BR-US-023](../../business-rules.md#br-us-023-a-catastrophe-claim-has-a-catastrophenumber-00) define the base-class behavior.

## Constraints and usage notes

- The base class supplies the shared loss contract and reportability helpers used by unit-stat loss objects.
