A hypothetical conversation:

Eng: "Our elasticsearch database has been growing exponentially for years, and in order to keep search alive we need to completely rearchitect it. We estimate it will take a team of 8 people, 1 year to launch a stable alternative."

Product: "What if we just reduce the size of the index by removing inactive repositories? This will allow the team to focus on revenue generating features."

Eng: "Yeah, that should keep our current solution running for the foreseeable future without significant impact to our customers."
