precisiondemanding

Precisiondemanding is an adjective and, occasionally, a noun used to describe a standard, mindset, or set of practices in which high numerical accuracy and strict tolerances are required. It implies that outcomes must fall within narrow margins and that measurement uncertainty is minimized through rigorous methods, calibration, and verification.

Contexts include manufacturing, metrology, aerospace, medical devices, research laboratories, and software engineering where deterministic results and

Practices associated include detailed specification documents, regular calibration schedules, statistical process control, independent verification, and traceability

Advantages include improved product reliability, safety, and interoperability; drawbacks include higher cost, slower throughput, and potential
