Move the needle, translated

Today's translation: move the needle.

It sounds like measurement. In a meeting, it usually means: will this be visible enough that leadership notices, or are we polishing a spreadsheet because the calendar invited us?

Clearer line: Will this change the metric we care about? If yes, Alex tests it by Friday. If no, drop it.
