² According to the strategy of disjointed incrementalism, policy-makers compare and evaluate only increments of policies at the margin. They consider a restricted number of policy alternatives and consequences for any given policy alternative. They engage in constant readjustment of ends and means, returning frequently, or serially, to the same problem. Finally, they concentrate on remedial changes in social ills rather than on the pursuit of a well-defined future state (pp. 143–8).

³ The synoptic method, by Lindblom's definition, is a comprehensive method of decision-making which requires: identification and ordering of the objectives and values being sought; a comprehensive survey of alternative means of achieving those values; an exhausive examination of the consequences of each alternative; and, finally, the choice of an alternative policy that will achieve a maximum, or at least an acceptable amount of the values sought (pp. 137–8).
