Explain it

Explain a design tradeoff

Use one criterion, one constraint, and a reasoned rank.

A proposed solution performs better when it uses a more expensive component, but the project has a real budget limit. Explain how an engineer should represent and prioritize this conflict without pretending either need disappears.

Separate the desired performance criterion from the budget constraint, then explain a supported tradeoff.
