Most useful flowchart or decision tree from your field/daily routine

Searching through past posts I have found a ton of funny flowcharts / decision trees. Are there any you actually use in your day to day life?

Here's a very exciting* chart (pdf) of the type I use routinely, identifying which insurance option(s) people are eligible for.

I have several of these and probably could make a Grand Unified Theory of Insurance Options poster if... well, now I'm tempted to...

*your adjective may vary

Are you looking for "useful" or "funny?" Those circles don't have a lot of overlap.

I am looking for the useful examples - simple is okay. I am familiar with a few health ones (eg, when you need to get a 2nd flu shot).

Internet searches tend to produce the joke/trend articles and trying to find ones that are not that.
