# decisionlistnode properties #

![Decision List node icon](https://dataplatform.cloud.ibm.com/docs/content/wsd/nodes/scripting_guide/clementine/images/decisionlistnodeicon.png)The Decision List node identifies subgroups, or segments, that show a higher or lower likelihood of a given binary outcome relative to the overall population\. For example, you might look for customers who are unlikely to churn or are most likely to respond favorably to a campaign\. You can incorporate your business knowledge into the model by adding your own custom segments and previewing alternative models side by side to compare the results\. Decision List models consist of a list of rules in which each rule has a condition and an outcome\. Rules are applied in order, and the first rule that matches determines the outcome\.
