Another approach is to rank the competing objectives by importance, then compare or optimize pathways sequentially, from most to least important. For example: First save as many lives as possible, then avoid as many person-years of illness as possible, then save as much money as possible.

This isn't my primary research area - I mostly develop software to better operate heating/cooling equipment, EVs, batteries, etc. - so I'm not as familiar with the literature as many others are. But I've seen very few papers that take this alternative, "rank then sequentially optimize" approach.
