Help with logic to detemine approval route please - how to determine based on conditions, if a users approval is required.

I have two forms.  One form is a routing configuration form that allows an admin to configure conditions when an approver is required for a given request type.[in this example, Car Rental will have two approvers based on the users input values of the fields on the form "Rental Cost" and "Insurance Coverage"]. I have  provided screen shots and my two collection below

Collection FlexApprovalAA show the conditions to meet if the approver is required
[
  {
    "ApproverDisplayName": "Bob Smith",
    "Conditions": [
      {
        "conditionNumber":1,
        "compareOperator": "",
        "comparison": ">",
        "comparisonValue": "500",
        "field": "Rental Cost",
        "fieldType": "Number"
      },
      {
        "conditionNumber": 2,
        "compareOperator": "or",
        "comparison": "=",
        "comparisonValue": "No",
        "field": "Insurance Coverage",
        "fieldType": "Yes/No"
      }
    ],
    "DisplayOrder": 0
  },
  {
    "ApproverDisplayName": "Jane Doe",
    "Conditions": [
      {
        "conditionNumber": 1,
        "compareOperator": "",
        "comparison": "=",
        "comparisonValue": "Yes",
        "field": "Insurance Coverage",
        "fieldType": "Yes/No"
      }
    ],
    "DisplayOrder": 0
  }
]
 
The following is the collection that holds the data for the user input form

    My attempt [likely the wrong way] was as follows, which is for only one condition on the first row.  It would be a BIG mess if I carry on with this approach.  Any thoughts on how to simplify would be much appreciated

     

    UpdateIf(FlexRouteAA,true,
    {
    ApprovalRequired:If(
    (First(ThisRecord.Conditions).comparison=">") And
    (Value((LookUp(colFormTemplate As a,a.FieldLablel=First(ThisRecord.Conditions).field)).Data)>Value(First(ThisRecord.Conditions).comparisonValue)),
    true,
    false
    )


    }
    );
