How to choose products that stay useful
A practical framework for comparing materials, maintenance, repairability and daily value.
Start with the real use case
Write down where, how often, and by whom the product will be used.
Look beyond the first impression
Compare materials, replaceable parts, cleaning requirements, warranty and support.
Calculate value over time
A product that lasts longer or removes friction from a repeated task can provide better value than the cheapest option.
