Better methods? (7)
I believe the answer is:
systems
'methods?' is the definition.
(system is a kind of method)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for systems that I've seen before include "ways of proceeding" , "Theories of universe, perhaps" , "procedures" , "that all go before lift-off?" , "Sets of connected things in working wholes" .)
