This PR addresses code complexity issues by refactoring 7 of the most complex analysis methods in the Social Fabric Matrix framework. The changes improve maintainability, testability, and readability while preserving all existing functionality.
Problem
Several analysis methods throughout the codebase were overly complex, making them difficult to understand, test, and maintain:
Solution
Applied systematic refactoring using the Extract Method pattern to break down complex methods into focused, single-purpose helper methods:
Key Methods Refactored
1.
EnumValidator.validate_business_rule_constraints()(106 lines → 30 lines)2.
NormativeSystemsAnalysis.conduct_normative_evaluation()(71 lines → 20 lines)Extracted calculation logic into focused methods like
_calculate_overall_system_score(),_assess_value_alignment(), etc.3.
Actor.assess_transformation_influence_capacity()(60 lines → 15 lines)Separated enabler/barrier calculations and role classification into dedicated helper methods.
4. Additional methods in criteria validation, policy integration, and cross-entity consistency
Benefits Achieved
Testing
Created verification tests that confirm:
The refactoring successfully meets the acceptance criteria of reducing method complexity while maintaining full backward compatibility.
Fixes #13.
