  Six Sigma is a data-driven process improvement methodology that uses statistical
  analysis to reduce defects and variability in business processes, targeting fewer
  than 3.4 defects per million opportunities. Organizations across manufacturing,
  healthcare, finance, and technology adopt Six Sigma frameworks (DMAIC for improvement,
  DMADV for design) to drive quality excellence, reduce costs, and improve customer
  satisfaction. APIs in this domain connect quality management systems, statistical
  analysis tools, process mining platforms, and business intelligence systems.
