Rules-Based Eligibility Engine

Our eligibility engine doesn't just check requirements—it models immigration decisions, quantifies risk, and recommends the optimal strategy.

Built on a deterministic rule engine. Every result is explainable, reproducible, and grounded in the actual Immigration Rules. Assess 8 routes simultaneously in seconds — no AI cost, no hallucinations.

Why It's Different

Not AI guessing. Structured rule evaluation.

Generic AI tools generate plausible-sounding eligibility answers that can be wrong. The Immigration Workspace eligibility engine applies coded rules against a structured client profile — the same way a competent adviser would work through a checklist, only faster.

⚡

Instant — no AI call

Results in under a second. No waiting for an API response, no token cost, no rate limits. Run it as many times as the profile changes.

🔍

Explainable results

Every pass and failure is shown with the specific rule it relates to. You can see exactly why a route is borderline — not just a probability score.

🔁

Reproducible

Same profile, same rules, same result — every time. No randomness, no hallucinated eligibility criteria. Perfect for adviser audit trails.

The Flow

From profile to strategy in five steps

01

Build the client profile

Enter immigration history, all visa periods held, every absence from the UK, and current employment. The engine uses this to evaluate each route accurately.

02

Run the assessment

Click one button. The engine evaluates all 8 routes simultaneously against the stored profile. No AI call — results are instant.

03

Review route viability

Each route returns a verdict (Viable / Borderline / Not Viable), a risk score, the specific rules that pass or fail, and next steps.

04

Read the strategy recommendation

The engine selects one of 7 strategies based on the full assessment. You get a plain-English rationale, timing advice, and alternative routes if applicable.

05

Run a policy simulation (optional)

Test the same profile against proposed policy changes side by side. See immediately whether the outcome changes and what the key differences are.

Route Coverage

8 routes evaluated simultaneously

Each route has its own coded rule set. A single assessment checks all of them in one pass — so you know the full picture before advising.

1

Skilled Worker

Salary thresholds, SOC codes, English B1, sponsor licence, good character

2

ILR / Settlement

5-year qualifying period, 180-day absence limit, English B1 or Life in UK test

3

Long Residence

10-year continuous lawful residence, absence limits, compliance checks

4

Spouse / Family

Relationship requirements, financial threshold, English language

5

Student → Graduate → Work

Education progression pathway, CAS requirements, graduate leave

6

Innovator Founder

Endorsing body criteria, genuine innovation, viability, scalability

7

Faith worker suitability, sponsor requirements, English exemptions

8

Visitor

Genuine visitor intent, financial self-sufficiency, leave duration

Risk Scoring

A score that means something

Risk is calculated in two passes: first against the client's profile (static risk factors), then against every failed rule check across all assessed routes. The final score is capped at 100 and bucketed into four levels.

LOW
0–24
MEDIUM
25–49
HIGH
50–74
CRITICAL
75–100

What contributes to the score

FactorPoints
Criminal record+30
Immigration breach+25
Compliance notes+10
Missing English evidence+10
Missing UK entry date+5
No absence records+5
Each blocking rule failure+20
Each warning failure+8

Total score capped at 100. Per-route scores are independent of the overall case score.

Strategy Engine

Every assessment ends with a clear recommendation

The engine doesn't just flag problems — it tells you what to do next. One of seven strategies is selected based on the full assessment, with a plain-English rationale and specific next steps.

Policy Simulation

Run current rules against proposed changes — side by side

When the Home Office consults on rule changes, you can test the impact on your client's profile immediately. The simulation runs both the current and proposed ruleset against the same data and shows you exactly what changes.

  • Current and proposed assessments run simultaneously
  • Outcome changed flag — immediately see if viable routes differ
  • Key differences listed with plain-English explanation
  • Carries a planning-estimate disclaimer — not a legal determination
