# NotificationResult

`NotificationResult` is the output DTO of [NotificationRuleEngine](NotificationRuleEngine.md): it pairs the source [NotificationRule](NotificationRule.md) that produced a value with that evaluated string value, giving a caller both the result and full traceability back to the rule that generated it. It is defined in `NotificationRuleResult.cs`, a source file name that does not match the class it defines*.

## Purpose
- Carry one evaluated notification value alongside a reference to the `NotificationRule` that produced it, so a caller of `NotificationRuleEngine.CalculateNotifications<T>` can attribute each result to its originating rule ([OP-CIA-01](../../operations/op-cia-01-calculate-notifications.md)).

## Context
- Namespace: `SAIF.Services.ClaimInfoApi.Core`
- Assembly/package: `SAIF.Services.ClaimInfoApi.Core.dll`, packaged inside the `SAIF.SAIFCode.Core` NuGet package

## Public members
| Member | Signature | Purpose |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `Rule` | `public NotificationRule Rule { get; set; }` | The `NotificationRule` that produced this result; provides traceability from a notification value back to the rule that generated it. |
| `Value` | `public string Value { get; set; }` | The evaluated non-null string output of `Rule` for the model that was passed to `NotificationRuleEngine.CalculateNotifications<T>`. |
| `NotificationResult(rule, value)` | `public NotificationResult(NotificationRule rule, string value)` | Constructs a result pairing, used by `NotificationRuleEngine.CalculateNotifications<T>` for every rule whose evaluated value is non-null ([CIA-BR-007](../../business-rules.md#cia-br-007-only-non-null-results-become-notifications-and-the-last-one-at-a-position-wins)). |

## Behavioral notes
- `NotificationRuleEngine.CalculateNotifications<T>` only ever constructs a `NotificationResult` for a non-null evaluated value; a rule that evaluates to null is skipped entirely and never produces an instance of this type ([CIA-BR-007](../../business-rules.md#cia-br-007-only-non-null-results-become-notifications-and-the-last-one-at-a-position-wins)).
- `Rule` and `Value` are both publicly settable, so a `NotificationResult` obtained from the engine can be mutated by any caller after construction*.

## Constraints and usage notes
- The class name `NotificationResult` does not match its containing file `NotificationRuleResult.cs`, which can make the type harder to locate by file name alone*.

> **Note:** Statements marked with `*` were inferred from code structure, naming conventions, or
> contextual evidence where direct confirmation was not available in source artifacts.
