Lifetimebased
Lifetime-based is a concept in various fields, including finance, insurance, and product development, that focuses on the duration or lifespan of an asset, investment, or product. This approach emphasizes the total time an entity is expected to be in use or remain valuable, rather than its current state or performance. In finance, lifetime-based analysis is used to evaluate the total cost of ownership or the expected return over the entire lifespan of an investment. In insurance, it refers to policies that cover the full duration of an asset's life, such as a car or a home. In product development, lifetime-based design considers the entire lifecycle of a product, from conception to disposal, to ensure it meets user needs and environmental standards throughout its lifespan. This approach can lead to more sustainable and cost-effective solutions, as it takes into account the long-term implications of decisions made during the product's development and use.
