Binary decision tree example.
A binary decision tree gives every decision two possible branches. It is useful when a process can be simplified into yes-or-no questions, such as basic support triage or eligibility checks. Start with the question that separates the largest groups, then make each child question more specific. Keep the leaf nodes as actions or outcomes so a reader knows what to do next. If a decision has more than two meaningful outcomes, use separate questions rather than forcing an unclear binary split.
