Conditional logic

Conditional logic is a way of making decisions based on specific conditions or rules. It follows simple patterns like “if this happens, then do that,” allowing systems to respond differently depending on context.

We use conditional logic as one input into more intelligent reasoning, not as the whole system. Conditional logic helps apps handle clear, predictable situations, for example, when a threshold is crossed or a required step is missing. These rules provide guardrails that keep workflows stable and understandable.

In Decidr, conditional logic usually sits alongside agentic reasoning. Apps may use conditions to trigger actions or route work, but they don’t rely on rules alone. Instead, conditional logic supports decision making by handling known cases, while agentic behaviour helps apps reason through ambiguity, tradeoffs and change.

Clear conditions reduce errors and improve reliability. They help your business handle routine situations consistently without manual oversight.

At the same time, keeping conditional logic lightweight prevents your organisation from becoming brittle. You get the benefits of structure without locking yourself into rigid, hard-to-maintain rule trees.

You’ll see conditional logic used in situations like:

• Routing a task based on priority or risk level
• Triggering an alert when a metric crosses a threshold
• Skipping steps when required data is missing
• Escalating issues under defined conditions.

These rules work quietly in the background, supporting more adaptive behaviour.

Conditional logic lets your apps adapt actions based on real world conditions.
