A figure of merit is a quantitative measure used to evaluate the performance or efficiency of a system, device, or process relative to its intended purpose. It serves as a comparative metric to assess various attributes, such as effectiveness, reliability, or cost-effectiveness, facilitating informed decision-making in engineering and scientific research.
