How does a decision tree interview work for resolving design branches?

A decision tree interview works by asking one to four rounds of targeted questions with multiple options per question, methodically exploring each branch to map choices, validate trade-offs, and reach shared understanding.

Does this approach explore my codebase to answer design validation questions?

Yes, if a design validation question can be answered by examining the codebase, the approach explores the codebase directly instead of asking you, ensuring accurate context for stress-testing your plan.

What are the limitations of using structured questioning for plan validation?

The limitation of structured questioning for plan validation is that it restricts interviews to one to four rounds with two to four options per question, which may limit depth for highly complex or deeply nested design trees.
