ominaisuudetkorkea

Ominaisuudetkorkea is a theoretical concept used in product design and software evaluation to describe a focus on high-level features, or the most impactful capabilities, of a system. The name blends Finnish ominaisuudet (features) and korkea (high), signaling emphasis on feature richness and strategic importance rather than technical details.

As a framework, ominaisuudetkorkea helps teams identify which features drive user value and competitive differentiation, map them to user journeys, and assess how well a product supports these features across platforms. It is not a formal standard, but a lens for analysis in design strategy and roadmapping discussions.

Core elements include a feature taxonomy that categorizes features by user value, feasibility, and impact; scoring criteria such as completeness, reliability, accessibility, and performance; and a synthesis method that aggregates scores into an overall high-feature score to guide prioritization and planning. The approach stresses alignment between user needs and feature delivery, as well as the scalability of the feature set over time.

Applications span early-stage product discovery, UX audits, competitive benchmarking, and architectural planning. It can be used to communicate priorities to stakeholders and to frame conversations about tradeoffs between breadth of features and quality.

Limitations include subjectivity in scoring, potential undervaluation of foundational quality or developer experience, and the risk of equating more features with better outcomes without considering usability.

History notes that the term remains largely theoretical and is not part of a formal standard; its use appears in informal Finnish-language design discussions and in hypothetical model proposals.
