Because business stakeholders don’t live and breathe optimization. Nor should they. My job is to make the math disappear into something usable.

But when you can bring them several solutions, it does two important things:
1. Gives them a sense of control and choice.
2. Creates an opportunity to explain powerful concepts like “global optimal” in a practical, visual way.

It turns optimization from a black box into a conversation. And that’s the difference between adoption and resistance. Optimization is deep math, but in the end, it’s about people making better decisions.” Link
