Understanding Decision Tree Analysis

Decision Tree Fundamentals

Expected Monetary Value (EMV)

EMV = Probability × Outcome. This calculation helps quantify the expected value of each decision option when outcomes are uncertain, allowing for data-driven decision making.

Risk Assessment

Analyze the probability of success to understand the risk level of each option. Lower probabilities indicate higher risk, requiring additional mitigation strategies.

Decision Optimization

Compare expected values across all options to identify the optimal decision. Consider both financial returns and risk levels in your final recommendation.

Best Practices

Probability Estimation

Use historical data, expert opinions, and market research to estimate probabilities. Consider multiple scenarios and sensitivity analysis for robust decision making.

Outcome Valuation

Include all relevant costs and benefits in your outcome calculations. Consider intangible benefits and opportunity costs for comprehensive analysis.

Decision Documentation

Document assumptions, data sources, and reasoning behind your decision tree. This provides transparency and supports future decision reviews and learning.
