Foundational concepts
Disability is a mismatch between a person and an environment, not a medical condition.
The foundational vocabulary of customer-centric strategy: behavior triggers, product dictatorship, UX ecosystem strategy, democratization of CX, and accessibility framed as environmental mismatch rather than medical condition.
Customer-centricity means systems and processes that ensure what gets delivered matches what was promised. Behavior triggers are the proactive responses, system or human, that help customers at the moment of struggle before they turn into sad metrics.
Product dictatorship is the failure mode: Product holds total power to dictate builds without accountability to other domains or end users. UX ecosystem strategy is the counterweight, a holistic layer between users and the business that balances product-centered mindsets. Democratization of CX, letting anyone do specialized research or design regardless of training, is a term to watch skeptically.
The accessibility framing changes design practice. If disability is a mismatch between a human state and the environment, then the environment is the fixable part, and every design decision either widens or narrows the mismatch.
