Decision Tree

The V Decision Tree Hand-crafted Definition:  A structure built from a starting point that branches out into a step by step analysis map born from the established starting point and then built out based on the programmers parameters as to what should be done at each decision point

The V Decision Tree Hand-crafted Example:  A person creates a household budget by starting with a list of obligations (the starting point).  Decision points begin with consideration of how one will satisfy such obligations, such as through a paycheck.  Each line item demands a separate decision as to what portion of the paycheck will be applied, if at all.

The V Decision Tree Hand-crafted Notes:  Decision trees can be authored to accommodate all expectations with a clear and intended end point vs. structure designed to provide room to build all expectations to an undefined limit
