How to Use It

Decision trees turn hand-waving into accountability. Start with the decision or question at the top, branch into 2-3 options, and show consequences at each leaf. Keep to 2-3 levels - deeper trees need their own slide. Annotate branches with conditions ("if revenue > X", "if customer type = Y"). Use consistent node shapes (rectangles for options, diamonds for decisions, ovals for outcomes) so the structure reads without instruction.
