Deterministic Software Pattern
Fully-loaded cost model that computes each employee's capitalizable rate from current payroll, benefits, and occupancy and posts capitalized labor at that rate.
Continuous Assertion Rule
Rate assertion: capitalized labor cannot post unless the hourly rate equals current payroll and burden for that employee divided by capacity hours in the same period.
