Looking for ideas in proving app users more flexibility in business rules

Looking for ideas on creating an InfoPath application in which the users could dynamically add new approval stops based on new conditions.

When creating an InfoPath application to handle various kinds of requests, one is faced with the concept of statically defining what can be requested, the specific approval stops, etc.

Some of this information can become more dynamic by adding look up tables of information based on conditions such as the specific item being requested, selections made by the user using the InfoPath controls, etc.

But the bottom line is that in most cases, the actual business rules tend to be hard coded into the application.

This limits the user of the application to going back to the developer every time a new business strategy develops, personnel changes, roles change, etc.

Have you found strategies to use in InfoPath when attempting to create applications with more flexibility for the user to be able to add, change, or delete business rules without changing the actual InfoPath application?
