Decision Engines: When to Use DMN vs Rego (OPA)

Two complementary decision engines for different purposes

📊 DMN (Camunda)

Purpose: Business rules & regulatory compliance

Audience: Business analysts, compliance officers

Editing: Visual table editor (Camunda Modeler)

Integration: Native BPMN (businessRuleTask)

Use For:
  • Campaign eligibility gates
  • Budget guardrails
  • Regulatory compliance (GDPR, ITAR, FDA)
  • Approval routing
  • Performance thresholds

🔐 Rego (OPA)

Purpose: Authorization & access control

Audience: Developers, security engineers

Editing: Code editor (Rego language)

Integration: REST API or WASM (in-process)

Use For:
  • API access control (RBAC/ABAC)
  • Tenant isolation
  • Resource permissions
  • CI/CD system authorization
  • Infrastructure policy

Key Insight: Complementary, Not Competing

DMN answers: "What should happen next?" (business logic)
Rego answers: "Can user X do action Y?" (authorization)

1. Executive Summary

The goal is to build an automated agentic workflow for optimizing paid media campaigns. This system will ingest user constraints, historical data, and live performance metrics to recommend budget allocations, forecast performance, assist with audience targeting, flighting, and ongoing optimization (daily and weekly).

Version 1.0 (MVP) focuses on 8 core agents for market launch with recommendation-based workflows. Enhanced capabilities including predictive intelligence, incrementality testing, and autonomous execution are planned for subsequent releases (see Section 2.1 Release Roadmap).

2. Terminology & Core Concept

The system is composed of 8 Core Functions or "Agents" that handle specific parts of the paid media lifecycle:

  1. Media Mix Allocation
  2. Media Forecasting
  3. Audience Identification
  4. Campaign Framework (combines Campaign Naming + Campaign Flighting)
  5. Creative Brief
  6. Daily Optimization (Daily Pacing)
  7. Weekly Reallocation
  8. Weekly Performance Snapshot
