# tree aware optimization (TAO)

This Optimization Scenario option enables you to optimize against a provided tree template.

The tree template effectively defines the additional decision tree constraints the user wishes to apply covering the granularity of the tree and the treatment constraints as they relate to each end node of the tree. The purpose is to both define the optimal decision tree structure and the requisite treatment assignments to each end node.
