It is the plural of utiliteetti, a concept that denotes the usefulness, value, or benefit provided by an object, action, or choice. The term is commonly used in economics, decision theory, and engineering to discuss the various aspects of value that influence preferences and behavior.

In economics and psychology, utiliteetti refers to the satisfaction or benefit a person derives from a good or outcome.
