 because depending on how voters elicit their preferences (\emph{balloting} or
 \emph{input method}) and how the votes are aggregated through the use of
-algorithms, the outcome is different. For this paper it is assumed that the
-first three stages have already been completed. The rules of the process have
-been set, ideas have been collected and developed into feasible projects and the
-budget limit is known. To study different ways of capturing votes and
+algorithms, the outcome is different. To study different ways of capturing votes and
 aggregating them, the participatory process is modeled mathematically. This
 model will be called a participatory budgeting \emph{scenario}. The aim of
 studying participatory budgeting scenarios is to find ways to achieve a
