Solve a real problem.
Every feature should serve a clear purpose and make the product more useful.
The HARPE Standard
What the name requires.
A HARPE product should earn its place by being useful, dependable, and worthy of the people who choose it.
Build it to last.
Materials, parts, and construction should be chosen for dependable real world use.
Keep it simple.
Good design should remove frustration instead of creating it.
Earn the customer’s trust.
Claims should be honest, performance should be tested, and support should be straightforward.
Be proud to use it.
If it is not something HARPE would proudly use, it is not ready to carry the name.
