<div>
<br>The more perspectives we explored, the clearer it became that quality is subjective.</div><div>
<br>For some, it is the <em>frictionless experience</em> of a product that simply works. For others, it is <em>longevity and adaptability</em>, ensuring something is fit for purpose today and tomorrow. In a manufacturing context, it might mean <em>attention to detail and pride in craftsmanship</em><strong>.</strong> In a service context, it might mean <em>confidence, culture, and collaboration</em><strong>.</strong>
</div><div>
<br>Everyday life offers countless examples. A Ferrari may embody engineering excellence, but for a family of five managing daily school runs, it is hardly fit for purpose. A Rolex and a Casio both tell the time, but one is valued for its status and aesthetics, the other for durability and function. Even something as ordinary as a toothbrush reflects different standards of quality: soft bristles, hard bristles or electric with each choice being shaped by personal expectation.</div><div>
<br>Quality is not fixed. It shifts with needs, context, and perspective.</div> image
