Kohandusteta

Kohandusteta is an Estonian term used to describe products, systems, or policies that are designed or deployed without customization options. In technology and consumer goods, kohandusteta implies fixed configurations, presets, or features that cannot be altered by the user.

Etymology: the word comes from kohandus, meaning adaptation or customization, with the negative prefix -eta indicating absence.

Usage: In software, a kohandusteta version may ship with default settings and no support for themes, plugins, or user-defined workflows. In hardware, devices may be described as kohandusteta when sold with a single standard configuration; in public procurement, a kohandusteta approach emphasizes standardization to simplify maintenance and reduce costs.

Impact: The approach can reduce complexity, costs, and security risks, but may limit user satisfaction and hinder fit for specific needs. Organizations may weigh kohandusteta against customizable alternatives based on context.
