+== Chapter 12: Build-Breaker
+
+The Velocity template `Statistics.vm` creates a `Statistics.json` file that currently looks like this:
+
+[source,json]
+----
+{
+  "Statistics": {
+    "legal-evaluation": {
+      "yes": 100,
+      "no": 2,
+      "Conditional": 30,
+      "blank": 10
+    },
+    "data-status": {
+      "ND:NOT_AVAILABLE": 5,
+      "ND:PROCESSING_FAILED": 7,
+      "NL:WITH_ISSUES": 10,
+      "NL:NO_ISSUES": 2,
+      "NL:CURATED": 1,
+      "DA:NO_ISSUES": 70,
+      "DA:CURATED": 20
+    }
+  }
+}
+----
+
+The individual categories can be customized in the `statistics.sql` template. Using these fields, you can create a Build-Breaker. 
+
+For instance, if there are artifacts in your project that have the `legal-evaluation` value `"no"`, you can break the build. 
+
+To achieve this, you can use the JSON processor `jq` and add a script like the following:
+
+[source,bash]
+----
+# Check if the count for "no" is greater than 0
+NO_COUNT=$(jq '.["Statistics"]["legal-evaluation"]["no"]' Statistics.json)
+
+# If NO_COUNT is greater than 0, break the build
+if [ -n "$NO_COUNT" ] && [ "$NO_COUNT" != "null" ] && [ "$NO_COUNT" -gt 0 ]; then
+  echo "Build failed: 'no' count in legal-evaluation is $NO_COUNT"
+  exit 1
+else
+  echo "Build successful"
+fi
+----
