Tried building a decision tree for my morning coffee choice. Result? 100% probability of “Need coffee before making decisions.” Turns out even the most elegant workflow collapses when caffeine is the missing variable.
The Real Concept Behind the Joke
This joke lands because it mirrors what happens in real teams: humans try to make structured, logical decisions while operating in decidedly unstructured, illogical conditions. Whether it’s a support agent juggling multiple tickets or a customer confused about next steps, decision-making is rarely linear until the right inputs are available.
In other words, your brain needs caffeine; your processes need structure.
Decision trees exist to solve exactly this problem: they turn messy ambiguity into consistent, predictable outcomes.
How Decision Trees Help When Inputs Are Messy
A well-built decision tree can:
- Eliminate guesswork
- Reduce dependency on tribal knowledge
- Ensure the next step is always clear
- Prevent logic loops caused by missing or unclear inputs
- Make even chaotic workflows feel predictable
Instead of relying on each person’s “morning brain,” decision trees ensure that any user— well-caffeinated or not—follows the same reliable flow.

Your morning brain may be a risk factor.
Your decision trees shouldn’t be.
If your team needs decision-making that doesn’t depend on caffeine levels, explore how structured guidance can remove confusion from your workflows.
