English term (edited):
"on steroid"
Selected
بدون ضوابط
The term you are asking about is not "steroid," but "on steroids." This little prepositional phrase is used (often, but not always, mockingly) to characterize an attribute as being excessive, possibly unhealthfully so. It is used in the following manner:
First, you find an analogous condition with the same quality present but with lesser intensity. Second, you slap on the phrase "on steroids" at the end.
For example, let us say that you wanted to describe a ProZ.com member who always gives boring, long, complicated answers. You would say, "He is like Fuad Yahya on steroids."

زائفة
Do not take it literal here. See, "steroids" are generally المقويات which athletes take to give them more power than they naturally have. That means it gives them a fake appearance.

استراتيجية المعايير الستة
استراتيجية او مبدا سيغما او استراتيجية المعيير الستة المسمى سيغما
This is a financial and management strategy that managers use to fix problems they face in certain fields and business. It is very famous for people with financial background and management I studied it in my MBA.
The link below explains it well
" The term "six sigma process" comes from the notion that if one has six standard deviations between the mean of a process and the nearest specification limit, there will be practically no items that fail to meet the specifications.[5] This is based on the calculation method employed in a process capability study."

OPS sorry, I thought you meant six sigma, or at least that is what my email mentioned, I guess I misunderstood the question
