Decision Model and Notation (DMN) is a standardized approach used to model decision logic, often represented in decision tables that evaluate inputs and determine outputs. In this scenario, the entitlements granted to a candidate are based on the total score from two exams, where:

Each exam can be graded as either 0 or 1.

The combined score can be 0, 1, or 2.

The entitlements depend on the combined result:

0 → No entitlements

1 → Partial entitlements

2 → Full entitlements

Among the given diagrams:

Option A simply lists test cases but lacks explicit logic modeling.

Option B shows a mapping from total score to entitlements but doesn't model how the total is derived from the two exams.

Option C redundantly splits outputs into multiple Boolean fields and doesn't reflect how the decision is made from exam inputs.

Option D is the correct representation.

Option D uses:

e1 and e2 as inputs for Exam #1 and Exam #2.

Result as the sum of e1 + e2.

A final Output mapped based on the Result:

0 → No

1 → Partial

2 → Full

This structure accurately follows the DMN standard by expressing inputs, a derived result, and the corresponding decision output, making Option D the correct and most complete decision model.

“Decision tables are commonly used to express business rules that determine outputs based on combinations of inputs. DMN formalizes this structure to support automated reasoning.”
