In a crisis, changes come fast and the stakes are higher

18F has been researching a prototyping technique for writing and publishing policy rules as computer code to improve speed and accuracy.

No policy or rule stays the same forever. In response to a crisis, policy changes often come much faster, and stakes can be higher. A new rule might change the amount of benefit someone receives as part of a safety net program, or make someone eligible who was previously ineligible.
