How we turned 20 years of government welfare rules into an AI-native, self-healing eligibility engine — with working code
This project is built entirely from publicly available information — official documentation, auditor reports, news articles, and industry publications. No proprietary or confidential information was used.
The article discusses the migration of Merative Cúram CER eligibility rules into an AI-native architecture, emphasizing the challenges of traditional migration methods that often fail due to poor rule documentation and reliance on legacy systems. The author introduces a reference implementation that involves using an OWL ontology, a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, and an agentic orchestration layer, all designed to create a self-healing eligibility engine. The new strategy aims to make government welfare systems more auditable, transparent, and maintainable, thus enabling policy analysts to adapt to changes more effectively without needing specialized developers.
