# Decision Framework

A decision framework standardizes how teams interpret experiment results and decide which group to ship. After you configure a decision framework, it recommends a ship action based on how your primary and guardrail metrics move. The decision framework highlights recommended actions but doesn't enforce them.

## Configure a decision framework

To configure a Decision Framework, find the experiment template you want under **Settings** → [**Templates**](https://console.statsig.com/templates), then navigate to the **Decision Framework** tab. Select one primary metric and one or more guardrail metrics to choose a recommended action based on metric performance.

You can configure three types of recommendations:

* **Rollout Winning Group**: An icon appears next to the winning group in the Make Decision button.
* **Discuss**: A message appears on the experiment page recommending discussion before making a ship decision.
* **Do Not Roll Out**: An icon appears next to the control group in the Make Decision button.

## Reviews for shipping negative results

Configure reviewers for when a shipping decision doesn't align with the Decision Framework recommendations. Toggle on "Require reviews when decision opposes recommended decision" and add reviewers in the dialog box.

After setup, Statsig requires a review in the following situations:

* **Rollout Winning Group**: Shipping a treatment group that isn't recommended
* **Discuss**: Shipping any treatment group
* **Do Not Roll Out**: No review required
