value-add
Additional worth created
Value-add is business jargon for something that increases worth or utility beyond the basic offering: What's the value-add of this partnership?
It functions as both noun and adjective: a value-add service, the real value-add here is expertise.
The term is ubiquitous in corporate and consulting contexts, often criticized as hollow buzzword-speak.
