Abstract: Abstract Experiments in the public sector are not widely used. However, as the practice shows, they are used to determine the expected utility of the proposed solutions or implemented changes, and the dominant method is pilotage. The study presents the theoretical approach to the experiment using pilotage, so as to show that the experiment gives the opportunity to indicate a “better” solution and provide justification for such a selection. In the chapter, the authors analysed the adopted assumptions of selected pilot implementations in the PSUs, the aim of which was to test and evaluate the solution to be used in practice as an expression of public participation. The analysis indicated that the visible use of piloting in the behaviour modelling of individuals included in the society is a good tool to maximise the usefulness of public tasks designed by LGUs.
