Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for receiving one or more models of network intents, comprising a plurality of contracts between providers and consumers, each contract containing entries with priority values. Each contract is flattened into a listing of rules and a new priority value is calculated. The listing of rules encodes the implementation of the contract between the providers and the consumers. Each entry is iterated over and added to a listing of entries if it is not already present. For each rule, the one or more entries associated with the contract from which the rule was flattened are identified, and for each given entry a flat rule comprising the combination of the rule and the entry is generated, wherein a flattened priority is calculated based at least in part on the priority value of the given one of given entry and the priority value of the rule.
