Process Flow Comparison Diagram - Visual Guide to Decision Pathways #29256 (License: Personal Use)

The image displays two vertical flowcharts (labeled ① and ②), each composed of five rounded rectangular steps connected by downward arrows; blue outlines denote standard stages, while red segments mark key divergence points where paths split. In process ①, the third step branches into two separate final outcomes, whereas process ② maintains a single path until the fourth step before splitting. This visual effectively illustrates how timing of decision points affects system outcomes in workflows or algorithms.

Used in technical documentation, UX design guides, or business process modeling pages to explain branching logic, A/B testing frameworks, or failure mode analysis; targets users seeking to understand conditional workflows or optimize decision timing.
