Limiting availability

Description

Limiting availability is a strategic process that restricts access to specific resources, products, or opportunities to prevent misuse, overconsumption, or harm. This approach is practically applied by regulating supply, imposing quotas, controlling distribution channels, or setting legal limits. Its primary intent is to mitigate risks, protect vulnerable populations, conserve resources, and address issues such as substance abuse, environmental degradation, or market imbalances by directly reducing the ease with which problematic items or services can be obtained.
