Rethinking value in TRM terms

How to put things we value in the TRM terms of time, risk and money where it isn't as obvious.

This vague term is indeed value, but represents all three TRM values in one. As quality decreases, the business loses time (spent fixing quality), money (revenue loss), and risk (customers as well as staff leaving). However, as quality increases, the cost increases exponentially.

When we say we are entertained, we have a "feeling" that we experience.  A good movie gives us the desired feelings multiple times over.  We can entertain ourselves, but entertainment provides shortcuts to re-feeling things we want faster (time).

Much like entertainment, good design is also time. Whether it's the jeans we buy (how quickly we want to feel a certain way OR others to perceive us in a certain way) or the design of a website (how quickly we want to be perceived as well-funded, modern, premium, etc). Time also applies to function.  A good, consistent site design makes it easier (faster) for a visitor to navigate. That pair of jeans with a zipper is way faster than buttons (who on earth thinks buttons are better than a zipper when you really need to "go"???).
