Explainable Decision Tree

An Explainable Decision Tree is a classification or regression tree deliberately grown to be shallow, readable, and auditable — producing a finite set of if-then rules that a human can verify without additional tools. It sits at the intersection of predictive modelling and Explainable AI (XAI), chosen when stakeholders must understand and trust every prediction the model makes.
