# Example 7: Tracing the decision process
Presidio-analyzer's decision process exposes information on why a specific PII was detected. Such information could contain:
- Which recognizer detected the entity
- Which regex pattern was used
- Interpretability mechanisms in ML models
- Which context words improved the score
- Confidence scores before and after each step
And more.
For more information, refer to the [decision process documentation](https://microsoft.github.io/presidio/analyzer/decision_process/).
Let's use the decision process output to understand how the zip code value was detected:
<!--pytest-codeblocks:cont-->
```python
from presidio_analyzer import AnalyzerEngine
import pprint
analyzer = AnalyzerEngine()
results = analyzer.analyze(
text="My zip code is 90210", language="en", return_decision_process=True
)
decision_process = results[0].analysis_explanation
pp = pprint.PrettyPrinter()
print("Decision process output:\n")
pp.pprint(decision_process.__dict__)
```
When developing new recognizers, one can add information to this explanation and extend it with additional findings.
