Adequacy

Adequacy refers to the sufficiency or appropriateness of something to meet a specific need or purpose. It means that a resource, measure, or response is good enough in quality, quantity, or effectiveness to achieve the desired outcome. For example, an adequacy of lighting means the light is sufficient for safe and comfortable visibility. It involves evaluating whether what is provided is appropriate and enough without being excessive or insufficient. Essentially, adequacy ensures that the basic standards or requirements are satisfied to support proper functioning or fulfillment of a goal.
