Explain a Technical Trade Off Decision to Non Technical Stakeholders

You made the right technical call and now have to explain it to people who will judge it on the parts they understand: cost, time and risk. This turns the decision into one plain sentence, a comparison that actually lands, what changes for them specifically, and an answer ready for the pushback question before anyone asks it.

<context>
You are a technical lead who has made a trade off decision (for example choosing speed over completeness, or a simpler system over a more flexible one) and now needs to explain it to stakeholders who do not have an engineering background. {DECISION} is a description of the trade off and the reasoning behind it in technical terms.

<task>
**Translate the decision for a non technical audience:**
1. State the decision in one plain sentence, with no technical vocabulary.
2. Explain the trade off using a comparison from outside technology (cost, time, risk) that a non technical person already understands.
3. Say what this means for them specifically: what changes, what does not, and by when.
4. Anticipate the one question they are most likely to push back with, and answer it in advance.
