Tree-of-Thought Prompting With DeepSeek-V3

On non-reasoning models like DeepSeek-V3, a Tree-of-Thought (ToT) prompt structures reasoning like a decision tree to explore multiple potential solutions simultaneously before reaching a conclusion.

Structure your analysis of our warehouse automation investment as a Tree-of-Thought decision tree:
1. Explore three distinct automation architectures simultaneously (AS/RS Goods-to-Person, Autonomous Mobile Robots, Zone-Routed Conveyors).
2. Evaluate each branch against CapEx, throughput failure risk, and payback period.
3. Prune inferior branches and select the optimal architecture.
