**Custom Strategies** allow organizations to inject domain-specific judgment into Dropzone’s investigation outcomes. These strategies influence how the AI SOC Analyst determines both:

* **Conclusions:** Malicious, Suspicious, Benign
* **Priorities:** Urgent, Notable, Informational

Custom Strategies are applied during the **Report phase** of an investigation and enable teams to:

* Override default interpretations of investigative findings
* Encode institutional policies and known patterns
* Provide consistent guidance for recurring or edge-case alert types

Custom Strategies are best suited for **decision logic** that applies broadly across investigations. If you find yourself encoding conditional logic, workflows, or policy enforcement, a Custom Strategy is likely the right tool.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.dropzone.ai/platform/settings/custom-strategies.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
