iAdjustedRateFactor

iAdjustedRateFactor declares the contract for computing a multiplicative rate-adjustment factor for a given iAdjustedRateProvider. It embeds the neutrality rule for non-applicable factors (BR-POL-011) in its remarks, though enforcement is left to implementers.

Purpose

• Standardize how an adjusted-rate factor is computed from a provider's rating attributes, so multiple rate-adjustment implementations can be composed uniformly.
• Document the neutrality expectation that a non-applicable factor must be 1, not 0, so cumulative multiplication is unaffected (BR-POL-011).

Context

• Namespace: SAIF.Business.Policy
• Assembly/package: SAIF.Business.Policy (PolicyCommon)

Member	Signature	Purpose
Factor(inAdjustedRateProvider)	Function Factor(inAdjustedRateProvider As iAdjustedRateProvider) As Decimal	Computes the adjustment factor for the given provider; implementers must return AdjustedRates.NonApplicableAdjustedRateFactor (1) when the factor does not apply (BR-POL-011).

Behavioral notes

• No in-repo implementer of iAdjustedRateFactor was found; implementations live in consuming applications.**

Constraints and usage notes

• This is a declaration-only contract; enforcement of the neutrality rule (BR-POL-011) is the implementer's responsibility.

Note: Statements marked with ** could not be confirmed; treat as unknown until verified.
