# IClaimBuilder

Contract implemented by `ClaimBuilder`.

## Purpose
- Defines the members that `ClaimBuilder` must provide to callers of this abstraction.

## Context
- Namespace: `SAIF.Data.TestRepository.RepositoryBuilders`
- Assembly/package: `SAIF.Data`

## Public members
| Member | Signature | Purpose |
| --- | --- | --- |
| ClaimType | `IClaimBuilder ClaimType(string claimType = ClaimTypeCode.NonDisablingClaimType, DateTime? effectiveDate = null)` | Performs the `ClaimType` operation.* |
| ClaimStatus | `IClaimBuilder ClaimStatus(string claimStatus = ClaimStatusCode.Open, DateTime? effectiveDate = null)` | Performs the `ClaimStatus` operation.* |
| ResponsibleAdjuster | `IClaimBuilder ResponsibleAdjuster(string code)` | Performs the `ResponsibleAdjuster` operation.* |
| Worker | `IClaimBuilder Worker(ClaimPerson worker)` | Performs the `Worker` operation.* |
| ClaimNumber | `IClaimBuilder ClaimNumber(string number, string checkValue)` | Performs the `ClaimNumber` operation.* |
| Policy | `IClaimBuilder Policy(long number, string name)` | Performs the `Policy` operation.* |
| Build | `InjuryClaim Build()` | Builds this operation's target.* |

## Behavioral notes
- As an interface, this type defines no executable behavior of its own; behavior is determined by its implementation(s).*

## Constraints and usage notes
- Callers should depend on this interface rather than the concrete implementation(s) (`ClaimBuilder`) to preserve testability.*

> **Note:** Statements marked with * were inferred from code structure, naming conventions, or contextual evidence where direct confirmation was not available in source artifacts. Statements marked with ** could not be confirmed; treat as unknown until verified.
