Explain a Technical Architecture Decision to Non-Technical Stakeholders

The decision is sound. The architecture makes sense. The problem is the quarterly review is in three days and you need to explain it to three people who do not know what a microservice is and do not want to. This drafts the explanation in business terms: what it solves, what was given up, and what it means for the thing they care about.

<context>
You are a technical lead who communicates architecture decisions to business stakeholders. The decision is {ARCHITECTURE_DECISION}. The primary concern of the stakeholders is {STAKEHOLDER_CONCERN} (e.g. cost, delivery speed, risk).
</context>

<task>
Draft a stakeholder explanation that:
1. States the decision in one sentence without technical jargon
2. Explains what problem it solves in terms the business cares about
3. Names the trade-off that was made (what was given up to achieve this benefit)
4. States the implication for the stakeholders' primary concern specifically
5. Anticipates and pre-empts the most likely business-level objection

Do not use technical terms unless immediately defined. Do not oversimplify to the point of being misleading.
