qui défient les règles
Il s’agit ici, semble-t-il, de solutions logicielles qui défient les "lois" de Norman Augustine (Augustine’s Laws) en ce qu’elles permettent de résoudre certains des problèmes évoqués dans ces "lois".
Note from asker:
| I think you're right Caroline. Thanks for your comments & help. |

: Why "Augustine's Laws"? What has this question got to do with aerospace?//If it meant anything that specific, it wouldn't just say "rule-busting". I think you failed to properly read and understand the website you found.

As I said, the question seems to be related to the link mentionned about aerospace. Please kindly remove your offensive comment.

: the way you present it, it would mean "to overcome limitations imposed by some laws of physics" // don't think that it's what they had in mind.

Comment: "Merci Caroline. Vous avez parfaitement saisi le contexte. Cela dit, s'agissant d'un titre, je n'ai pas opté pour votre proposition mais pour "qui redistribuent les cartes" ou "qui changent la donne", j'hésite encore..."

as if busting rules (enfreindre les règles) could not be positive in business. That's the whole idea behind disruptive approaches

: unfortunately, voice intonations are absent in writing, so this would be misinterpreted as giving it a negative connotation.

Discussion
How much these rules really needed or not to be "busted" is another matter (see Uber & similar ...)
Usually, we tend to think that 'obeying the rules is a good thing to do" — but in some contexts, 'breaking free of the rules' may be seen positively: like when marketing a new product: "We started by throwing away the rule-book, and this enabled us to design this innovative product"
