Who is this for?
Anyone who needs to guide people through a diagnostic or qualification process: support team leads, sales managers, IT helpdesk coordinators, HR managers, product teams, and operations leads.
The problem it solves
Decision trees sound simple but building one that actually works — that covers all paths, avoids dead ends, and delivers clear outcomes — is harder than it looks. These examples give you a proven structure to start from, so you spend time on your content rather than figuring out the format.
How the template is structured
Every step is editable. Customise the content, labels, and branching logic to match your exact process.
Customer support troubleshooter
Routes customers through hardware vs. software issues, narrows to specific symptoms, delivers self-service resolutions, and escalates with full context when needed. Suitable for technical products, SaaS platforms, and consumer electronics.
Sales lead qualification (BANT)
Qualifies prospects on Budget, Authority, Need, and Timeline. Routes qualified leads to a demo booking, longer timelines to a nurture sequence, and poor fits to a graceful disqualification outcome.
IT helpdesk triage
Classifies incoming IT requests by type (network, hardware, software, access) and severity. Routes to self-service resolutions for common issues and structured escalation paths for complex problems.
HR policy guide
Answers common HR questions (leave policies, expense claims, performance reviews) through a self-service decision tree. Reduces repetitive HR queries and gives employees instant, accurate answers.
Product feature recommender
Guides prospects or new users to the right feature or plan based on their use case, team size, and goals. Works as a pre-sales tool or an in-product onboarding guide.
Compliance and policy checker
Guides employees through compliance decisions — expense approval thresholds, data handling requirements, contract review criteria — with clear outcomes and audit-ready documentation at each step.

- How many nodes can a decision tree have in PathPilot?
- There is no hard node limit in PathPilot. Starter plans support up to 50 flows with unlimited nodes per flow. Pro plans support 500 flows. For very large trees (100+ nodes), we recommend breaking them into linked sub-flows for easier maintenance.
- Can a decision tree loop back to a previous node?
- Yes. PathPilot supports loops — you can connect an output edge from a later node back to an earlier one. This is useful for retry logic ("Check the cable again") or iterative diagnosis steps.
- Can I use conditional logic based on previous answers?
- PathPilot's branching is based on the user's active selection at each node. For complex conditional logic (e.g., "if budget > $50k AND role is VP, then..."), use the AI suggestion feature to build multi-condition branches or connect to your backend via webhooks.
- Are there decision tree examples for healthcare or legal use cases?
- Yes — you can build decision trees for medical triage, legal intake, insurance claims, and similar regulated domains in PathPilot. We recommend adding appropriate disclaimers to end nodes and consulting your legal/compliance team before publishing patient or client-facing flows.
