How should answers select a result?
- Branch-first rules with an explicit result at each terminal path
- Weighted scoring with thresholds and a deterministic tie-break
Choose: Use branch-first rules when one answer changes what can be asked next. Use weighted scoring only when several answers contribute independently and the thresholds can be explained.
Tradeoff: Branching is easier to explain but grows more paths to test. Weighted scoring handles more combinations but requires explicit weights, thresholds, and tie behavior.
