The presumed opposite of wicked problems are tame problems, i.e., those that (according to Conklin) have:
- a relatively well-defined and stable problem statement.
- a definite stopping point, i.e. we know when the solution or a solution is reached.
- a solution which can be objectively evaluated as being right or wrong.
- belong to a class of similar problems which can be solved in a similar manner.
- solutions which can be tried and abandoned.
