Chapter 10  – Policymakers are tasked with making decisions on issues characterized as wicked problems because of controversies, unknown relationships between causes and consequences, and (consequently) uncertain futures. From this perspective, it would be desirable to map the decisions and their possible outcomes prior to the actual decision making because that would generate certainty in ambiguous situations. Broadly speaking, this provides the motive for using computational modeling for policymaking as expressed in, e.g., policy informatics
Q2:   From this revelation, why is it more common to work with models “mod-ded off-the-shelf” (MOTS)? Identify and name the reasons for why it's more common to work with MOTS as above.
