Let me interject for a moment to tell you about our lord and saviour, “leverage”.
And disciples "reach out", "touch base", and "circle back."
Don’t mention them in vain, lest you call Synergy from the deeps of oblivion! Best of breed, of course.
Enterprise-grade at scale.
i hear "leverage" more than see it in docs/email, but almost only ever see "utilize" in writing.
