Note
A plural that depends on counting something that is often uncounted. Implementation names both the building process, as distinct from design, and its result, a finished product, system or device. The plural sits most naturally on the result: several working versions built to one specification. When the process itself is meant, the singular usually reads better: the implementation of a policy, rather than its implementations.
