A method for constructing a binary decision diagram (BDD) is provided that includes constructing a first BDD data structure operable to reflect a function associated with a target circuit, the first BDD data structure may be constructed using a first script that includes a first set of parameters such that the first BDD data structure exceeds a major threshold value. The method also includes constructing a second BDD data structure using a second script that includes a second set of parameters which reflect a modification to the first set of parameters, the modification reflecting an attempt to minimize a size associated with a node level of the second BDD data structure and being based on a minor threshold value that was identified in association with building the first BDD data structure.
