In addition to comparing models, conformance checking can also be done with a set of rules. By analyzing where the intended process deviates from one that's expected of it, one can identify where process performance may be taking a hit due to anomalies or measure the relationships between deviations and rank their effects and metrics, like cost and time and audit if a process is complying with the given set of rules and procedures.
