Disclosed is an improved method, system, and computer program product for electronic designs with supplant design rules. According to some embodiments of the invention, the foundry-imposed design rules are replaced by one or more supplant design requirements which define absolute or relative threshold(s) for a design feature characteristic. Some other embodiments of the invention, the foundry-imposed design rules are replaced by one or more supplant design requirements which define one or more ranges of absolute or relative values for a design feature characteristic. Some other embodiments of the invention further provide an EDA tool which takes into account a model for the electronic design, the processing, metrological, lithographic, or imaging processing processes or techniques, and the supplant design requirements to determine whether the features of an electronic design meet the design requirements.
