4. depends on what it is
Generaly quality. But when you are out of toilet paper, you don't want the SO to run out to the store to get the quality brand if there happens to be a roll of stolen industrial grade tp in the back of the closet. So not always

7. Timely delivery of a quality product.

Feature cut rules.

On edit:
We are installing the latest release of our flagship product to our biggest client right now (finger taps for emerge --sync)... and we employed exactly the feature cut strategy to get the best of both worlds. Thus my argument for both, despite the usual conflict.

8. Depends on the accessories
What's the battery life? Is it easily washable? On/off button(s) easily located?

Those are my general rules for quality.

17. Quality.
Late deliver might annoy me, but if the product is as advertised, I have no quarrel.
