A snarky reply to that would be: “OK, now put that on a powerpoint slide with 3 bullet points.”
Part of the point of my post is that the (reasoning follows) can’t actually be a real analysis in a pitch like this; to be appealing, it has to be a narrative that fits people’s preconceptions, a story that’s the kind of thing the executive-types being pitched to like. The part with technical details seems to just fill the same role as technobabble in Star Trek. Sometimes you’ll see sales guys who do the pitch listen to the engineering stuff and just pick out a couple keywords to use in the story they’ll make up.
