# decision tree

A graphical representation of a set of business rules, displayed using a connected set of nodes and branches. The end nodes usually contain the assigned Treatments and Actions to be assigned to accounts.

This file can be created and inserted into a project as one of the possible results of an optimization scenario run, or it can be created externally and imported into Decision Optimizer. Decision trees can be complete (with treatments assigned to end nodes) or incomplete (no treatments assigned to end nodes) trees. The former can be used as inputs into Simulation Scenarios. The latter can be used as base trees when you define granularity criteria for a tree template.
