Circumstance

Circumstance is situation applied on Rules. Situation is based on Condition. At each situation, rule
behaviour will be different.

Circumstance means creating multiple variants of a single rule based on condition.

Circumstancing requires condition to be applied on the rule.

Two Types of Circumstance

1. Single Property (With on Optional Date Property)

2. Multiple Property (Template and Definition)
