Menetelmäkohtaisena

Menetelmäkohtaisena is a Finnish term that translates to "method-specific" or "specific to the method." It is used in various contexts, particularly in research, development, and technical fields, to emphasize that certain aspects, results, or characteristics are directly tied to the particular method or technique employed.

When something is described as menetelmäkohtaisena, it implies that it is not a universal truth or a general property but rather a consequence of the chosen approach. For instance, in scientific research, if a finding is considered menetelmäkohtaisena, it means that the result might be different if another experimental method were used. This highlights the importance of clearly documenting and understanding the methodology in any given work.

In the context of software development or engineering, a solution or performance metric might be menetelmäkohtaisena if it performs optimally only under specific operational procedures or with a particular set of tools. This necessitates careful consideration during the design and implementation phases to ensure that the chosen methods align with desired outcomes and that any limitations due to method specificity are understood. The term serves as a reminder to critically evaluate the context in which information or results are presented, preventing overgeneralization.
