Thermal Windows
Product terminations are corporate thermal windows - dissipating excess heat (costs) without cooling core business.
Thermal windows are body structures with high surface area and minimal insulation that allow selective heat dissipation. The Toucan's bill (30-40% of body surface, 5% of mass) acts as a precision cooling system - blood vessels dilate, blood flow increases 400%, heat radiates from surface, core temperature drops 4°F in 10 minutes. Jackrabbit ears (20% body surface, 40 vessels/cm²) and elephant ears (20 sq ft, 50,000+ vessels) follow identical physics.
Business Application of Thermal Windows
Product terminations are corporate thermal windows - dissipating excess heat (costs) without cooling core business. Apple killed 27+ hardware products and 50+ software products while protecting iPhone/Services. Each cut removes heat while preserving core temperature.
