Eric Charpentier wrote on the Primatek Consulting Blog On Business Rules project best practices - Part III - Scope the project. In it he says:

Scope the business rule harvesting
One of the new pieces of the project that needs to be scoped in a business rules project is the business rules harvesting effort.
Now I have a simple piece of advice for folks at this point. Focus on the decision(s) you are automating. Start with the decision in mind and it is a lot easier to determine if a given rule source or collection of rules is going to be relevant. I think some advice from those who have done it before it still good but a decision-centric viewpoint will really help you apply business rules appropriately.

I think it is good advice and I actually amended my original post to include it.

And yes, as mentioned in my amended post, I am becoming a partisan of "Decision Management". :)
