My enthusiasm for the nicely-formatted decision tables and test cases faded when I began validating their correctness. Colleagues reviewing the model discovered even more serious errors—not only in the business rules but in the test cases themselves. This reveals a troubling pattern: the more information an LLM generates, the more validation it requires, and finding logical errors is far from straightforward. Real-world problems, of course, involve far more complex business logic.

Everyone agrees LLM outputs need validation, but the reality is challenging—even for this simple case, we needed a manually created decision model to verify the correctness of the automatically generated model. As one colleague asked: Doesn’t that defeat the purpose? It would be interesting to conduct a similar analysis in January of 2027.
