Tech/Engineering - Business/Commerce (general) / business proposal | | French term or phrase: ...sur trois leviers | See context below. I have translated this (not literally) as: '..... on three levels' as I can't see a better way - even though I know it means 'levers' ...which can sometimes be used in a business sense. Can anyone make a better suggestion?

| Grading comment Well, I hate it, but I have to agree that it IS (sadly) what people would say in such a case - although I suppose by running with it I am adding fuel to the fire of yukky English. To me 'leverage' is a noun disguised as a nasty-sounding verb, and one that is probably used far too often in management-speak. I guess we don't always have to like it necessarily.
