businessly

The opposite of technically

Technically I got unlimited PTO at work, but businessly, I never got more than 3 days approved.

businessly

(corporate term) not technically possible, but possible in the business sense (in that it's not technically possible, but business leaders will promise it anyway and then you, the team, are responsible for achieving a doomed goal from the start in spite of the obvious reality of impracticality)

Leader: Can we add AI to our cat collar so it can translate cat-speak into English in real time by January?

Developer: Ok, I'm sorry but there is no technical way to get that done with the existing technology, let alone by December.

Leader: Technically no but let's put it on the roadmap businessly
