I tried using your logic tree for this: https://www.sigmaphoto.com/200-500mm-f2-8-apo-ex-dg
It seems I should go ahead & buy it even though I have no use for it (too heavy / wrong mounts for me...) and it will make paying the mortgage impossible. I think adding a stage right at the start for 'do you want it?' (or 'can you use it?') , might improve matters - I know 99% of the time the answers probably yes!
The issue over affording it is more tricky. My wife is happy for me to spend whatever I want on my hobbies, it's just she assumes she's free to spend at least as much on hers! |

DC, I think I found a loophole for your problem. The decicion-chart presumes you wonder whether you are going to buy the lens. In case it is not a question, you have no need for the chart.
Problem solved 
(but we all know that deep inside, you want that lens ) |

There is an infinite loop in the diagram: Do you want to find a partner -> No -> Do you want to die alone -> No -> Do you want to find a partner ->
Guess who in this fórum is stuck in this loop.

There is another bubble to be fitted into this critical path diagram which runs like this:
"Isn't this the lens which your partner believes you to have owned for several months but have only just got round to getting it out of the bag/just got back from the shop where it had some adjustments made under warranty?"
