Just wondered how the word "timeliness" should be used?

It's important to make a timely offer when a company goes public, because a few days too early or too late and the whole thing can crash and burn. Timeliness is everything.

The noun "timeliness" just expresses the adjective "timely" as a thing, a quality.Quote:

As you see there's no way to measure how right the time is; it totally depends on the situation.
