# Conclusion/Cause

## Description

The *Conclusion* or *Cause* node allows the user to display text at the end of a series of steps. It can display descriptive text that summarizes the possible reason for an incident.

Additionally, the Conclusion node is a key component for implementing Predictive Analytics or "possible cause" analysis in the Support Center Framework. The Support Center Framework tracks each conclusion node as a possible root cause and dynamically evaluates within a session the probability that the user will navigate to or through downstream conclusion nodes as they answer questions posed in the decision tree logic. See [Support Center Solution](/release-9/design-considerations-and-frameworks/frameworks/support-center-framework/support-center-solution.md) for more information.

## Use

A conclusion node allows the user to display the descriptive text. This text could explain possible reasons for an issue the end user is troubleshooting.

A special form of the conclusion node called "cause" is available in the Support Center Framework (SCF). See [this](/release-9/design-considerations-and-frameworks/frameworks/support-center-framework.md) set of articles, along with specific SCF notes below for more information.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://community-test.logicnets.com/release-9/platform-documentation/form-node-parts/conclusioncause.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
