German term

Entscheidungsbaum

German to English Bus/Financial Management Risk analysis in projects
Entscheidungsbäume stellen eine Methode dar, um in ungewissen Situationen die beste Vorgehensweise zu wählen.
The same text (that talks about risk analysis) also uses the term Entscheidungsbaumanalyse. Decision tree or the like doesnt sound great to me.
Any better choices??
Thanks in advance
Proposed translations (English)

Stephen Sadie Mar 12, 2007:
I know how now: go over the answers provided in the summary box with the mouse, all is revealed at the bottom of your monitor. mine was 4142820, david's was 4142822, alles klaro?
jccantrell Mar 12, 2007:
@Stephan: HOW do you find out who was first?
Stephen Sadie Mar 12, 2007:
I do not wisgh to break the rules here...BUT...my andwer has an answer number two earlier than david's
roak (asker) Mar 12, 2007:
Goodness Gracious! Thats really a worrying part guys!Whom do I mark? I wish the time was given in seconds rather than in mins. Thanks for your contributions though!
Stephen Sadie Mar 12, 2007:
jc: it is in fact possible to see the number of the answer and to determine who was quicker!!!
jccantrell Mar 12, 2007:
Boy, they make it tough. Both are right and both at the same time!

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Unfortunately despite Stephen's argument about his having answered earlier, I will have to grant it to David because he was the one who gave the link in there while Stephen's note with the link came in 6 mins later. Thanks to you too Stephen for your contribution."

agree Lancashireman : Great tip, Etienne. 4142820 v 4142822 is enough to convince me. But why add that note at 6 mins? It looks like you were trying to mask an arrival nanoseconds after DS.
