Ergonomic Fit
Designing the product to fit the user's body and motion comfortably
The five levels
Each anchor describes what separates one level from the next — not a general description of quality. This is the text the evaluator itself reads.
-
Level 1 Below Standard
A design ignoring the user's comfort
Example A sharp edge hurting the hand when held
-
Level 2 Approaching
Partial fit with points of discomfort in use
Example The grip is comfortable but the weight is unbalanced
-
Level 3 At Standard
A good fit making use comfortable
Example The product held and used without strain
-
Level 4 Above Standard
A fit making use natural, as if an extension of the body
Example The product settles in the hand as if made for it
-
Level 5 Exemplary
Exceptional fit making the product more pleasant in hand than any rival
Example The user prefers your product for its feel and balance alone
