Description-Logic Reasoner for Insurance-Policy Coverage Checks
Overview
What this challenge is about.
Description-Logic Reasoner for Insurance-Policy Coverage Checks. Advanced challenge in code. Writing production code that solves real engineering problems, e...
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Replace an if/else coverage engine with a description-logic ontology that produces auditable, explainable coverage decisions.
This is not a coding exercise. It is the work a software engineer does between a Jira ticket and a merged PR. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates solve LeetCode problems and none who have shipped production code under real constraints.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Model real business rules as description-logic axioms
- Use a reasoner to derive coverage outcomes
- Extract and format reasoner justification traces
- Compare a logic-based system with a procedural baseline
