The goal of the first stage of PIC, prescreening, is to locate a small set of "promising" alternatives that deserve further, in-depth exploration.
The two steps are repeated over and over in a loop, until the list of promising alternatives contains a small enough number of alternatives (e.g., seven or fewer, which is based on individuals' short-term memory capacity; Miller, 1956; a list of seven items is also regarded as best by career clients; Gati & Kleiman, 2001).

Whether the products offered for sale are pens, vitamins, water purifiers, lottery winnings, or investments, illegal telemarketers prosper by promising customers an array of valuable prizes - big rewards that never come.
In Disconnect, undercover agents posed as distributors of a computerized lead service, promising con artists profits far beyond what they were raking in already.
