When a story carries business rules and exceptions, it brings clarity before implementation. It makes examples, open questions, and boundaries visible enough that the logic becomes jointly sound.Product Kata helps clarify customer problems, solution ideas, and evidence through a repeatable improvement routine. It captures direction, current metric, target metric, experiment notes, and learning.When business rules need to become precise, it ties language, example, and test together. It sorts work by value, risk, and delivery ability. The result is captured as an Example Table and Acceptance Tests.
