The PoMM allows two types of policymaking actions: Regulatory or Operational.

From the PoMM viewpoint, separating rulemaking actions and operational policymaking actions is essential for organizing decision-making processes and aligning them with the specific NBS-CEC policy issues and planning goals.
By distinguishing between rulemaking and operational actions, the PoMM offers the Experimenter a choice of tailored templates / guidelines for each type of policy decision experiment she wants to set-up and run.
In this way the PoMM enables policymakers to focus on strategic, long-term objectives while supporting operational policy managers with tools for effective day-to-day management.

Regulatory (rulemaking) actions are high-level, strategic decisions that involve establishing policies, regulations, and long-term frameworks that shape the overall approach to NBS-CEC in urban planning. 

Operational policymaking actions involve day-to-day management, implementation, and enforcement of the rules and policies established in the rulemaking layer.
These actions focus on executing specific projects, managing resources, and addressing immediate urban planning needs within the scope of action.
